HAWTHORNE, Fla. -- A 74-year-old man attacked by pit bulls Friday morning had his right arm amputated, his left arm partially amputated and suffered severe facial injuries, Putnam County deputies said. Deputies were called to the 200 block of Old Hawthorne Road in Hawthorne about 11 a.m. and found Roy McSweeney severely injured. McSweeney was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville and was in surgery Friday afternoon. His condition was not available. Investigators said the two dogs responsible for the attack belonged to McSweeney's neighbor.
They said the owner of the dogs gave both of them to authorities, and the pit bulls were euthanized and taken to the Putnam County Health Department to be tested for rabies.
Deputies said no further details could be released. .

For the thousandth time, it's the owner, not the dog.

Yep... not the dog. The owner. We've got five dogs at the moment. TWO are herd protection dogs (Great Pyrenees) which stay with the goats down the hill. They're very even and stable, and give lots of warning when they don't like somebody. Up closer to the house we've got two Rat Terriers and a Doberman. The Doberman barks at EVERYTHING but just wants to play. The largest of the two Rat Terriers just wants to be friends with everybody. The smallest, CUTEST Rat Terrier is the one to watch out for. She's fine with us. But she's bitten everybody and everything that's ever messed with her. We would have gotten rid of her because we don't like dogs that bite... even little bitty ones like her. But her and the other are very good about keeping critters out of the garden. :-)

Well, gotta love your favorite zottees! :)
They are so fun to play with!

You would hate us even more if you could see the cool pigsticker feature.
For those times when thunderclaps and fireballs are too dramatic. ;-)

Well, we *did* have patton@whatever to bat around but he seems to have slunk off.
I sure hope he didn’t go for a ride in his Jeep.
