Pumpkin Patch

This year's trip to the pumpkin patch started out with laughter...

But quickly turned to tears.


Sis slipped around the back of the hay slide where four lab puppies were playing. They were probably about 6 months old so Sis was just their size. Hubbie went around to fetch her after she had been out of sight just over a minute and found her pinned by the pups who were playing with her puppy style. They were yanking at her hair and jumping all over her. She ended up with this wound and had a good black eye the next day. We left immediately after this happened, without pumpkins, to get the wound properly washed.

Sis later said she was disappointed that she didn't get to pet the puppies more. I was afraid she would be fearful of dogs after the attack, but it seems no long term damage was done.

How sad! Hope the owners learned to control their dogs when kids are around. Brave little girl! Hugs to her! Aunt Cheryl

Scarey! Looked so close to her eye. I am glad it didn't ruin her love of dogs - probably helped the way Daddy and Mommy handled it. You two do such a good job! :-)
