Hit by car, but I’m still kicking…
Posted in A Dog's Blog, Snicker's Scope | No Comments »Welcome to yet another “A Dog’s Blog”
Wow! It’s been a while since I wrote to everyone and I hope that you don’ t mind my being scare – but I had my reasons… less than a month ago, I snuck under my backyard fence and I was struck by a car.
Yup – struck by a car – and lived to tell about it. I have to admit, I am hugely lucky considering my 17 pound weight compared to the ton and a half car (at least that’s what I’ve heard my parents say). Think about this – I get caught up in the back wheel when my sister yells my name after she sees the car about to hit me. So – like a deer in the headllights (sorry fellas), I freeze – and yup, the car runs over my foot and I take a trip around the wheel well.
Lots of blood, but I guess I’m okay enough to make it back under the fence, dragging my leg. And then it’s off to a series of vet trips. First overnight, then each day to get my bandages changed. Every day for about 10 days – but the pain was tremendous. I didn’t eat, didn’t play, didn’t do much of anything. Even had a morphine patch.
Finally, after 10 or 11 days, they said the best thing to do was to take off the leg since I now had an infection and it looked like I would not be able to keep the pad on my back left foot. I had already two of the toes.
My parents said yes, and they did it. They waited the weekend, and they did it. Just like that. They took the leg on a Monday afternoon.
I’ve lots more to tell you about next time.

Snow all up in my grill

OK – I”ll be the first to admit that when I first looked out into the backyard and saw all that snow coming down – I couldn’t wait to get outside. It was like someone had taken the entire ouside and put it in a snowglobe and shook the place up – big time. (I guess that’s whay they call them snowglobes).
Anyway, all that fluffy white stuff looked so good, I scratched and scratched until someone finally let me out into the artic tundra I call our neighborhood over the past few weeks. I flipped out, ran out, rolled out, and slid out into the big backyard and made my way to my favorite spots … but, they were all gone.
No problem – dig ‘em up right? I started to dig, and dig and dig and dig – and guess what – with 8 inch legs, it’s really hard to dig through two feet of snow. And it was suddenly cold out. And I suddenly couldn’t see very well because of the ‘blizzard’ condition. And I realized – big time – that maybe, just maybe – this snow looked much better from the inside.
