You have always been so kind to me.... yesterday, while running in a mowed lawn, a dog took a tumble and ripped her leg open to the bone. I got her and the owner to the ER clinic where they put her back together...one of the worst days of my life. After 5 hours they did the operation and a vet tech/Marine corps major I know saw the pics I sent her last night and thinks they did a good job. She is a treasure. Wont post a pic (too gross) but dog is doing well. Owner is leaving this weekend for yet another dog show so my attentions will be taking care of the wounded dog. Going through PTSD over hurting a dog somehow. but I may be missing in action for awhile. If everything goes OK, should be back in action in two weeks. Thank you for your thoughts. Here is a pic of dog before taking off bandage last night. Lots of drugs, compresses, etc. but massive wound looks less bruised today. Many stitches. Have good thoughts. This dog has a heart of a lion. more obedience, agility, tracking and scent work titles and a championship than we all could carry. 13 year old.
