I'm sure this dog's bite will lead to something else...Looking forward to the next chapter. You have a great line to twist the elements around. Great story!

This was penned really well Barbara. I liked how you handled the whole situation calmly and sensibly. Like you said accidents happen.

Troy and Anna still moving forward nicely in the story.
Well done and thank you for sharing.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Barbara,

Merry Christmas to you as well. Our basset hound wouldn't bite anybody in anger, but I could see her going for a graham cracker.

I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter and couldn't find anything to criticize. Yes, the boy would know something about the loud muffler. Older children keep up with things like that. Also, the four-hour wait is actually fast service for an ER.

Dave

    I thought about making it longer, but was afraid to make it too long. Thank you for your kind review and continued support.

Hello, barbara.
I was bitten by my cousin's son's dog on a Saturday. I waited to see my doctor on Monday but I knew he had his shots. He was surprised when I opened the door (being expected by all but the dog). He was defending his home. Even my indoor cat gets her shots, because accidents can happen. Here in Montgomery County they are very strict, so I was fearful to go to the ER, although he got me pretty good on the leg.
Poor Anna needs a shot of self esteem.
I enjoyed this read.
Warmly, Rebecca

    I agree Anna needs a shot of self-esteem. I am hoping Troy will help her through it. I was bitten when I was about 4. I accidently woke a sleeping older dog. I scared him and he jumped and bit. Normally a sweetheart. Anyway, thank you for your kind review.

Yes, accidents do happen..mY YOUNGEST BROTHER JUST SENT ME A PICTURE OF HIM WITH HIS TWO BOYS, A 100LB GOLDEN RETREIVER AND AN 85 POUND GOLDEN RETREIVER, AND THEY'RE NOT 2 YRS OLD YET. Mine are 2 little baby one year old male Maltese. I'm glad it wasn't any worse than it was so I survived. Are you on vacation this week. Part of the kids are off all week and then some of the schools still have three days until they are out. Good chapter. God bless.

    Yes, I don't go back until Jan 2. I have two doctor's appointments this week. I am a little nervous over the mamagrahm. I know I am being silly, but..... Thank you for the kind review and friendship.

    Just natural honey, you've been through a lot. Sis. Jan just had her first mammogram since her chemo and radiation and all was clear..I pray yours is just as clear. Keep me posted. God bless.

    I have no reason to believe it's not going to be clear, I guess I'm a whimp.

    Just normal..Lord, right now I ask that you remove the fear from Barbara's heart and I ask that Your sweet peace and presence fill the space where fear had cropped up and no longer resides. May she feel You hold her close in Your arms. Thank you for holding her hand and accompanying her to these visits that will bring glory to Your name. Amen and God bless.

I hope you're only describing Anna's concern as an 'unfit' mother and not giving further trouble to her as she's scared to be...:) Merry Christmas to you too.

    No, only Anna's low self-esteem.

WOW, that must of been really scary! I know I would have been panicking too if I saw those officers. I grew up with dogs also. I know if they see something that they want they will jump up on you to get it! I really enjoy reading your story!

Again another very good story and as always very believable.And you are right accidents do happen and that does not mean you are a bad parent. Very good dialogue and characters and I would recommend this to others.Blessings Rita

When she didn't find any[,] she held him tighter.

Inside the apartment[,] Anna wrapped a clean dishtowel around Troy's arm.

I'm [a] horrible mother. Because I put Michael at risk, Troy was bitten.

Great chapter. Poor Anna. I wish she weren't so down on herself.
