So happy she is doing better

A question...about those dogs....do you know who owns them and is there any way to be sure they will not do this again?

Thanks everyone! Our gate was accidentally left open and she got out of our fence. The dogs belong next door. The dogs are actually not bad dogs, but they are territorial, and she was on their turf. She wandered into their yard. It was only one that attacked her, the other was a bystander according to my daughter. The dogs arent aggressive towards my kids or me- Theyve always been good dogs? I guess it is an instinct to chase something that runs? I have no idea.We added a second lock to our gate to keep it from happening again. I think it was partially hinged and she probably pushed it open. There is no way the dogs can get into our fence. It's very secure. I suppose if anything was really determined to get in they could, but it wouldn't be easy. Our fence is tight and high and their dogs dont roam. And the goats are close to the house so we can keep a close eye on them, and can hear everything. BUT, with that said, I'm not afraid to shoot a bb gun, or a high powered rifle (whichever is warranted)if I ever see them close to my goat lot!

Molly is out with the others today. She is still not 100%, but getting stronger every day. The swelling is much better around the neck, and almost completely gone from the jaw. I think the red cell is really helping her. She really lost a lot of blood. Had my daughter not been here and held pressure I am certain she would have bled to death. We got really lucky. I am so glad they were home!
