Bear's Tussle

Sunday after church Dustin and I brought the dogs to the beach.  We brought them to this new beach that doesn't have shady people or dogs like the other beach that we go to.  There weren't that many people there and the dogs really didn't mind, they just went about their playing.  There were two black labs next to us playing and so Bear and Lily went over to see them.  All of a sudden Bear and one of the dogs was fighting.  It was a very quick, not even that involved fight.  More like bickering.  Unfortunately, Bear got injured.  He has a huge gouge out above his eye, and his eyelid was cut, among other smaller cuts.  There was blood in and running out of his eye.  We washed it off and decided that we would watch it to see how it looked on Monday.  He didn't seem bothered by it at all, he wanted to keep playing.  So I put antibiotic ointment on his cut and have been wiping his eye to check the discharge.  Poor guy had a swollen eye for a few days but now the swelling has gone down.  His big and small cuts are getting scabs on them and his eye looks as though it is getting better.  He is getting better, thankfully.  As all of you know, I would have paid whatever it would have taken to have this situation taken care of, but I am glad for his sake, and ours that he was/is fine.  Here are some pictures.

See his left eye is swollen....poor booger!

The cut is in the corner of his eye.

I'm so glad that he is getting better!!
