We were figuring out what we were going to do on Wednesday. Charlie was relaxing in his bed and Zach was on the floor next to him petting him. Out of no where, Charlie looked up, barked and nipped at Zach in about a second. Zach turned around screaming and blood was coming out of his eye. We loaded up and went back to the ER (5 short days after our last ER visit). Zach was given medicine that dazed him a bit. He had his eye stained and examined and his cut glued. They found a couple cuts on his bottom eye lid, but thankfully, not his eye. The cuts were big enough that the ER doctor wanted us seen by an optometrist. They determined the cuts weren't big enough for surgery or stitches. The kid got luky! He's got ointment for his eye and he's on antibiotics, but he's ok and will be fine. Whats one more scar on the exact same eye he got stitches on from his fall and already had a scar on from his sister scratching him???
That left charlie. I think I should be congratulated for not getting our neighbors gun and taking care of business! Jon and I have gone back and forth about what happened and what to do. We talked to our dog trainer and have decided to give Charlie a second chance. He will begin muzzle training and we will be retraining Charlie and the kids over the next few weeks or months. He will learn that the kids rank higher than him and, at least for now, they are both off limits to each other. He'll figure it out or he'll be gone.
