About 5pm Wednesday, I had the SCARE of my life....I went to the bathroom (just what you wanted to know) then I heard Rennie screaming....came into the dining room and her little face, shirt and hands were COVERED in blood and it was still flowing! It seems that she was petting Esme (cat) by the patio screen door and two of the feral kittys were outside the door, which upset Esme....Esme had scratched Rennie, not actually scratches but punctures in 3 different places on her face...but one of them was right underneath her eye, and Esme had caught a blood vessel. This one is the only wound that was bleeding. My first thought was she was going to bleed to death.,...not kidding...blood was gushing out! Got a cold wash cloth, put over it and told her to hold it there...grabbed our coats and left for town,.....took her to Alicia's clinic where she works, then straight over to the ER. (the clinic is next door to ER by the Hospital.) by the time we got to the clinic it had stopped bleeding. But we had her checked out anyway, because of Cat Scratch Disease and infection. She is now on an antibiotic. Well by the time we were getting ready to leavethe hospital she had charmed all the nurses and Dr's. There were actually 6 of them in there listening to her. The Dr talked about putting a glue like stuff on the puncture, but decided to leave it open for air. And he did say she might have a small tiny scar from it.
Alicia took this photo the next morning....but when we stopped by to see her yesterday evening, her poor little eye was almost all black and blue and a lot more swollen.
Ren is now telling everyone she sees about the entire experience!
And we do not blame her or Esme. She knows now to stay away from her when strange kitty's are around.
This has reminded me of when Ren's older sister, Mara, was stung by a bee, 12 years ago.
Now on a happier note....here are Miley's babies...4 new little yorkshire terrier puppies.....
They were only 6 days old when these pictures were taken...imagine these 4 little darlings inside of this tiny little mama!

Yowza! Bless her heart...and that blood on her shirt tells the story. Those puppies can cure anything, though;)
Oh, poor baby! Those cats can do a lot of damage. I'm glad she is going to be okay.
The puppies are so precious! I want one!
Wow - did that ever swell up big time! With every bad thing comes a lesson learned, I guess. Hope she heals quickly! The pups are adorable - and yes, hard to imagine them all inside that tiny mama!
Whew I was a wreck reading this! Glad it was not any worse! Poor baby.
Puppies are always soooo cute!
<><
Thankful she is OK!!
I'm glad that she is OK! I know that must have been terribly scary for you.
The puppies look so sweet.
