The next door neighbors (a pair of brothers, Andrew and Lee) and their rescued pit bulls, Ozzie and Miko, are fine (despite Greg needing to hit Ozzie with a brick a couple of times to make him let go of Preston). They stopped by last night to see how we were doing and were very worried about Greg and Preston. They said they have made certain that it will be impossible for Ozzie and Miko to dig under the fence ever again and regardless, will not leave the dogs outside unsupervised any more.
Just got back from visiting Greg, he's in "wait and see" mode and having a lovely time listening to his roommate bitch about his cancer and wanting to leave. Undoubtedly he'll write a very clever, amusing missive that you will all enjoy, using phrases like "incontinence cleanser." (I won't steal any more of his good lines, and will leave you to wonder about that one.) Greg was getting yet another IV antiobiotic drip while I was there but talked hopefully that the hospital is so overcrowded and short of beds, he's hoping the podiatrist will release him tonight. Don't know if that's a possibility or wishful thinking, but I look forward to the call and will go spring him if I can.
Preston apparently did well at the vet's - spoke with the vet's office this morning and they said I can come and get him later this afternoon. They've cleaned up his wounds, given him antibiotics and pain meds, made sure he doesn't have anything broken or damaged or blocked, etc. Another two hours and I'll go pick him up. Now all I have to figure out is how to keep Maeve from beating him up once I've brought him home.
Will keep you all apprised. Or if you want to chat with the bored man, you can call him on his cell at 323-804-3025.
Going to see if I can upload the wound pictures -- he seemed anxious to share them with you all.
Edited to add: figured it out -- posted in the "I'm more bitten than you" thread.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
