Poor Sofie!

Well if life isn't stressful enough for us lately, Sofie has been at the vet all weekend after having surgery. 

Friday afternoon, my MIL, SIL and Ben were walking Sofie and Pogo (SIL's dog) on the leashes to get the mail.  They were in our yard when the neighbor across the street opened the gate to pull a car in and their dog got loose.  The dog proceeded to head straight for the dogs and our Sofie is the one that got the brunt of the attack.  :(

The kids and the other dog are fine, but Sofie wound up going to the vet for surgery due to a hernia and a deep puncture wound.  She is going to be just fine, she is just resting and recovering for the weekend.  We can pick her up tomorrow.  The owner of the dog will be paying for her vet bill (to the tune of around 700 bucks) so luckily we don't have to.  I mean, we would have if he wasn't going to, but I am glad he is doing the right thing and is going to pay for it. 

That incident kind of set the mood for the weekend and everyone has kind of been in a funk.  The job interviews and job opportunities that Coop got on Friday afternoon were kind of forgotten once Sofie got hurt.  She is a very loved member of our family and we will all be glad when she is back home here with us.
