OT: my dog got hit by a car today

[Geoff Richards]

got a message today from a guy I didn't know saying he thought my dog was at the local vets after being hit by a car :(
Went and saw him,the assistant there told me they thought he had broken his back,as I approached his cage and he saw who I was he stood up and limped holding one leg off the ground.
The assistant looked at me and said "wow,he wouldn't do that before".
So they are now hoping its only a broken pelvis.
Waiting on the phone call now

That looks just like my dog except for the eyes, ****ing idiots driving cars should be killed for doing this -_-, good luck dude

[BergMuscle]

Hopes and prayers for only a broken pelvis.

[tomdana]

Beautiful dog. I feel for you. We have our first puppy and she is so much a part of our family after only a short few weeks. Take care and good luck. Prayers for a quick heal.

[drgnframe24]

What a beautiful baby! :) I hope it's just his pelvis, too.

[bigt405]

I hope he is ok. He looks like my little girls chocolate lab before he got huge. :)

[MalibuDebi1972]

Geoff, IM sorry to hear about your bad news :(. I do hope everything works out in the end. Keep your chin up.

[NotTooLate]

He's a beautiful dog. I hope he will recover quickly and not be in too much pain.

[Bronzebird]

I hope for a speedy recovery!
Hydrotherapy for a lab...he/she should enjoy that!

[Griff79]

That's great news!! He's such a pretty dog! :)

[Stevelegh]

This is why I don't do pets. Too much heartache.

Glad the mutt is on the mend.

That said, the wife wants a dog after Christmas, which I'm not too happy about.

Last animals we had were cats which didn't settle into our new house with a new baby. I was the one blubbing like a small girl when I had to hand them over.

Too much emotions for me.........

[greenamphibious]

AWESOME! glad he is OK!!!


****ing idiots driving cars should be killed for doing this -_-, good luck dudethat was just stupid... smack yourself. That is unless the guy was driving in a fenced backyard

[NotTooLate]

Glad to hear he didn't have anything broken. He must be strong to make it through that without any seriously injury :)

Geoff, that's the best news ever!!

[sluge]

That's cool. Not the hit by a car part,but the part where your dog jumped up for ya. that is so cool, it's amazing how a pet just loves their owner.

[jsmircich]

I'm glad he's ok. Extra treats and belly rubs tonight :)

[COOP1]

Great to hear you bud is ok! They are a part of the fam. Check out the parimiter colars at petsafe.com. They are true life savers,and they will keep them in the yard with proper training. Well worth the money...

[Bronzebird]

[marcmn]

He and you are lucky! My dog Ranger was hit and killed last November by a truck. It hit may entire family hard.

[Geoff Richards]

late yesterday afternoon my son found our family pet (I live separate from my wife and kids) lying all smashed up in the front yard,she (a little silky terrier) had been hit by a car and made her way back to our house.
She has suffered head injuries and broken pelvis,she will be put down today.
Please pray for my kids

[phikappa]

So, this is a different dog?

[Geoff Richards]

yeah,the family dog lives with my wife and kids :(

That's terrible. Best wishes to you and your family.

[Geoff Richards]

I will pass that on to my kids,thank you very much

the little dog used to sleep with my youngest daughter every night,she is doing it real tough now (just being 16 it's a crazy time in her life without this)

[Griff79]

Sorry to hear about the second pooch getting hit by a car. What bad luck all in a row. I hope your young ones can understand that these unortunate things happen in life, it is not going to make it any easier for them.

best of luck with this,

Griff

[live4gs]

Lost a great buddy a few years back... Hope yours gets well..

[Karl_Hungus]

Glad to hear your dog lived through the ordeal.

I've hit two dogs ..... in both cases unavoidable. I love dogs, so it felt pretty terrible.

[benzz]

the driver should get life w/o parole
