Well, we kind of had a rough weekend. Ryan and I were outside hauling rock to the backyard on Sat afternoon as we have been doing alot of landscaping around his house. Well, we stopped to visit with our neighbor for a bit and Sheely decides to chase a Grand Cherokee down the street. Yep, it happened! She got ran over! We took her to the Emergency Room on Sat night after getting her calmed down. The vet took x-rays and thankfully found no broken bones. Most of her hind legs were banged up pretty bad. She was "skinned" in many places and there were a couple of pieces hanging. As you can see in the pictures, both of her legs are wrapped and I didn't take any pics of the inside groin as its probably not anything that needs to be posted on here. Its gross. The vet did not sedate her for stitches, but rather bandaged her and gave her meds to get her through the weekend. We were instructed to take her in for a visit to her normal doctor first thing Monday morning as she was in need of stitches. She was unable to walk after the accident (who would after being ran over by a car??). But, we woke up Sunday morning to a normal dog. She was walking and acting like nothing happened. We are very thankful that she didn't get hurt any worse. Its amazing how emotionally a person can be attached to an animal especially in situations like this.
More to come on Monday's visit to the doctor!

Brandi Scout is hurt right now too. We should have a pitty party for our puppies. Scout has a purple wrap on right now. Poor dogs. Scout also got a few stitches today. They are just like kids. They had to sedate him twice and he got rewrapped twice. Im glad your dog is doing better.
Scary Brandi! I bet you were freaking out. Oh my gosh, poor Sheely! Give her extra TLC! keep me posted.
Oh, poor Sheely! That just sounds awful. Hope it all went well at Monday's appointment!
I am sorry to hear about your dog!! Glad it wasn't much worse! Either way, you get attached just like children.
