Poor Puppy!

I'm sure you all are tired of us weirdly doting over our puppy, but since Bentley is the object of our affection at the moment, I had to tell his sad story. Last night we were sitting down to play games with my parents, and Bentley was outside with my parents dogs cleaning up the left overs from dinner. I turned to look outside just in time to see Archer, a huge black lab/rottweiller mix, lay into Bentley for crowding his space...which for the record, we don't blame him. Bentley doesn't have much concept of personal space! So he started yelping and running away because he was scared...I thought, so I ran out to give him a little love and understanding, when I noticed he was bleeding REALLY BAD! There was so much blood that we couldn't tell if his eye had been bitten or if his lip was torn, and safe to say we were feeling pretty helpless! We grabbed a towel to try to stop the bleeding enough to see two tiney but extremely deep puncture wounds just below his eye. We took the little guy down to the vet and found out we'd have to leave him there for the night so he could get stitches. I was really sad to leave him!! I waited around impatiently all day today, because he kept tearing out his stitches, so they finally stapled the wound, and let me take him. The only thing that was somewhat fun about the situation is when Bentley's scared he's really cuddly, so he couldn't seem to get close enough to Brandon or me. Love it! But he's back to his old self today, and seems to have forgotten any fear he did or should have for Archer! In fact, I think he still likes him better than me : (
