I'll post more about this later. For now let me just say I interrupted a dog fight early this morning around 12:30 or 1:00AM. I had stepped out on our porch and heard a lot of yipping and yelping, and I knew the Pit Bull and her puppies (grown dogs now) had a dog down somewhere. I drove Disabro's car to the sound, and found a horrible sight at another neighbor's house. The Pit and her offspring ran off when I walked up with a baseball bat. I woke the neighbors up.
Anyway, this is the shape the poor old dog is in this morning - click the pictures for a larger view, and you may have to scroll a little to see the whole picture. I don't think this gentle, precious, old dog will make it. It never moved from this position - not even to lift it's head up while I was taking pictures.
