Injured Pooch

Our two dogs somehow got out of our backyard without us knowing last week. We think they were only out for about 10 minutes before they both came running back. Rosco, the boy, ran right past Ben and straight into to backyard. Fawn, the girl, on the other hand was not so quick to run past Ben because she was not putting her weight on her right back leg. At a closer look, Ben saw that both of her back legs were bleeding. Zac was so sweet, he was very concerned about her and was sad to see that she was hurt.

We rushed her to the Emergency Pet Clinic that is just at the end of our street. After some stitches and a $738.00 dollar bill later, she was pretty groggy but doing better. The vet was not able to tell us if her injuries were caused by an animal attack or if she was hit by something.

The entire time that Fawn was gone, Rosco was in a panic and would not stop barking. When we put them to bed that night we had to seperate them by putting a gate between them so Rosco wouldn't lick her wounds. When I checked on them before I went to bed Rosco was just sitting there watching Fawn sleep. It was so cute to see the concern on his face.

A week later, she is walking a lot better. Every so often she will lift her leg up to keep her weight off of it.

Fawn has to wear an E Collar until her stitches are gone. We feel so bad for her because we can tell that it is really bugging her. She's always scratching at it to get it off.

Fawn and Brayden are just lounging around on the laundry.
