.x. Attacked by a dog?!

So it's been crazy.  We did lose our little house.  We're staying here and there....but Ezra was attacked by a dog the other day.  A boxer to be precise.  It was my cousins dog.  Ezra was outside riding his bicycle.  And the dog just came up behind him and knocked him off and started biting at him.  I was afraid he was going to get his teeth around his neck cause he was biting from the side.  I don't know what they are doing with the dog.  I told them that I wanted it gone and that if it attacks once, it will attack again.  I also told them if I saw it at all I'd shoot it myself.  And I mean that.  I love animals as much as the next person, but not one that will hurt my kids.  It could have been a lot worse.  Luckily my neighbor Jessica who is also one of my cousins and tutors Ezra saw it....and was able to break it up.  I don't know what I would have done if it was any worse cause I was fuming just with the marks he got.
