So this morning I had all intentions of bitching out my housesitter/dogsitter. But after what she told me...
Basically she neglected my warning about Sabrina. And Sabrina got to Sofie once again. She latched onto Sofie's ear and nobody could get her off it. Her husband happened to stop by and he witnessed it. He was in shock and not much help. Sofie was screaming and what does sitter do?? She sticks her hands in frnt of Sofie trying to open Sabrina's jaws. It didn't work well. Sofie had no skin broken but my sitter had 4 stiches on her finger, her arm was black and blue and she had to get a tetanus shot. Doctors from ER called a sheriff, etc. She says she didn't give the name of the dog or any other info but they did give her a form to file a report with the animal control.
And it was not Sabrina who did all that damage to the sitter. It was Sofie because this stupid woman stuck her hands in front of her. Why is it people do not listen when you tell them something? Why do they think they are smarter and know better? Now she told me that she realizes I was right and she should have been more careful about having the Sofie and Sabrina out at the same time.
The bottom line is I have liability situation now on my hands. I am going to have to do something about it.
And the craziness of it all, she told me that she would take Sabrina if I gave her away. She has a 12 year old Yorkie who Sabrina already grabbed once and pulled a whole pluck of hair out.
