Our Christmas Hero...Toretto

I wanted to put up some cute pictures of Alexya in her Christmas dress, but I have to just tell everyone about what happened the day before Christmas eve. Robert was out in the front yard putting up Christmas lights on the house with Toretto in the front yard when a Pitt bull got out of it's yard and came running down the street towards our house. The dog ran up to Toretto and when Robert grabbed his collar to take him inside, the pitt bull lunged at them and Toretto had to defend them. The two dogs got into a huge terrible fight and there was blood everywhere. I ran outside when I heard the fight and it was the most horrible thing you can imagine....to see my other baby and all this blood and not be able to stop it was the worst feeling in the world. The dogs fought what felt like forever and the pitt bull's owner was just standing there watching, while robert calls off toretto (he actually listened and came to robert, only to be attacked again from behind), and says "I can't control my dog." Finally, the pitt bull had latched on to toretto's neck underneath his jaw and toretto had his huge mouth over the pitt bull's face and Robert was able to grab toretto by the back of the neck and was kicking the pitt bull and pulling on his harness and finally pulled them apart and hands the dog to his owner. The guy kept saying sorry as he dragged his dog away, but honestly, after examining Toretto he actually came out of it ok. He had all this blood all over him, but none of it was his...he only had some scrape on his lip and I guess the pitt bull didn't have a good grip on his neck because robert was able to pull him right off. So, lucky for us, Toretto is totally fine (I can't say the same for the pitt bull, and I can't say that I'm sorry about that either).

What a hero! He totally defended his family and did a good job! I can't tell everyone how something this traumatic, especially around Christmas, can just make you really thankfull and truely appreciate the true meaning of the holiday...Family! We are so thankful that our family is safe and healthy and Lexy is truely lucky to have a big brother who will defend and protect her and her mom and dad from harm!
