Doggie Scare
« on: May 29, 2010, 01:31:30 PM »
Last night after work I finally had time to putter around the pond and get the new lilies potted up.  My BF came out to check on me and says the dog's bleeding  :o  So I come over, covered in mud, and look - expecting a scrape.  He had a laceration about 1 inch long down to the muscle.   :'(  Of course it was an hour after the vet's closing time, so I hustled him off to the emergency vet.  He got three staples and is on antibiotics, pain meds and seditives.  He sliced his 'knee', so he has to stay doped up to keep from re-opening it.  Poor baby.  Turns out he had knocked down one of my *new* flower pots and that's what cut him.  So far so good - he's taking it pretty well and mostly laying around for me.  Problem is, I have lilies to pot and my BF needs to sleep (night shifter).  It's killing me to wait  ::)  lol So I guess I'll make use of my time by sharing a few pics with you of the pond.

Dog will do better than BF. :)
They are amazingly resilient.

I'm glad he's going to be OK, KatFish.

How on Earth did he get cut by a flower pot?  Was it a clay type, or a glazed one?

Thanks, guys.  He seems to be doing better today - less pain.  The flower pot was glazed.  He knocked it off a bench I have near the fence line.  He was barking at someone walking by and knocked it off and broke it.  I suppose that's when it cut him.  I'm so grateful it wasn't worse.  I love my puppy  :hug:

So glad your puppy is on the mend--that can be really scary!

Poor puppy... I hope he feels better soon. They're kinda like kids- take one eye off them for three seconds and they're in real trouble!
