…………………….To our horror!!!!! we found Lily, my sweet Lily and Samantha in a battle royal with a ground hog! What made it even worse was that they were fighting and biting each other under the wood bin so we could only hear them and not see them!!!! At the back of the wood bin, next to the house there was a space so Angela and I could see what was happening and who this fight was with…….I don’t know how we did it but Angela managed to get Lily and I was tugging at Sam’s hind legs that were sticking out from under the wood bin. Finally, I got her loose from biting the ground hog. Her mouth was covered in blood! We quickly got them into my car and drove them to the emergency room at the Cornell Vet Hospital. Due to Covid there is a big procedure. We had to leave them in the vestibule, and the assistant then entered to get them. The same procedure took place when we picked them up! They finally took the girls and said they would call me at home when the doctor saw them, but there were many dogs ahead!. I explained what happened and they had to be checked out for wounds! By now it was dark….we missed out dinner reservations, so I lite the fire and we commenced to drink……..I had baked a cake with corn meal and strawberry jam that was going to be for desert after dinner….so instead of desert we had it for dinner….with fresh cut strawberries and strawberry ice cream on the side….not so bad after all…..sorry no pics….at this point our heads weren’t about taking pics. We just couldn’t believe this all had happened. We had planned a lovely early peaceful twilight dinner then back to the house for wine and desert…all by the fire place. Angela was going to have a show and tell of all the loot they got….but we sat eating the cake….drinking the wine instead…..and waiting for the phone call!
