stunned.

what a strange, horrible sunday morning. mum came into my room at about 9 saying she was just going for a walk. i went back to sleep and was then woken by a phone call at about 10. it was mum crying and telling me she'd been bitten by a dog and got a bit lost but would be home in about 20 minutes. i was shitting myself, it was terrifying but i just waited for her to come home. i went and made breakfast for me and sol and then got sol dressed. mum came come and she's got a massive gash taken out of her arm from this stupid fucking dog. she had decided to go a way that she doesn't normally go and while she was walking across this big field, an Alsation started running towards her. mum isn't scared of dogs but she knows that if a big dog like that is pelting towards you barking, you just stand still and relax, so that's what she did. the dog's owner was screaming at it to stop but it didn't so he obviously didn't have any control over it. so this Alsation ran up to her, jumped up at her and bit her arm. the owner came up and was like, 'sorry sorry, he never usually does this!' mum was obviously pretty upset by this time so just walked off. she was a bit panicked and out of it now i think which is why she got a bit lost. she came back and we bathed her bite and cleaned it. al rang up asking if she was okay, because apparently she saw him at his house and burst into tears. he is such a lovely man! now mum's gone to work and we're going to the hospital later to get it checked out and she might have to have a tetanus jab. the worried butterflies from my tummy have only just disappeared, i was so scared. i hate it when mum cries. but just think, if it had been my brother with mum or any other little kid, that dog could have easily done way more damage. owners who can't control dogs like that shouldn't be allowed to have them.

p.s. Angus & Julia Stone are amazing.
