I nearly lost my buddy today.

[KFD070]

Trivial? If anyone finds this trivial they haven't owned a dog (or shouldn't have.) Hope she has a speedy recovery! Great looking pooch
I think that's the first time I've ever said that to a guy

 

[rockdog2112]

Dude! That sucks. I have 5 dogs and that would kill me. I have made that never ending drive to the vet with a badly injured buddy. It's agonizing at best. Hang in there. I wish you both the best!

 

[Blu Du]

Better days.....

maf sorry to hear about your pooch. she sounds just like my springer

 

[kiliki]

Sorry to hear about the accident. I wish her a speedy recovery and you lots of nice thoughts.

Honestly, I know what it is like to have your heart broken when your "kid" is sick (just like other peeps on this site). My dog is only nine years old and a has a brain tumor. Although she is still with us, I have already shed an ocean of tears. Man talk about waterworks. The meds will work for awhile longer, but we are going to have to say goodbye way too soon.

I love the rhino pic. Our dog will not stoping barking when the snowmobile(s) starts up. She just loves them for some reason. Such amazing creatures.

Give your little bud a nice big pet from Idaho.

Sorry to hear, I told Rico about it and he was bummed...

She's a cutie for sure! I'm glad she's going to be okay and wish her a speedy recovery.


Here's a little comic relief from my dog...

glad all is well. my big ox jumped out of the back of the pickup after a rooster at 5 mph and landed wrong. he's held together with 20lb test fishing line, but hunts all day, just likes his advil afterwards.

glad she's ok

I was out pushing snow with the Rhino when I heard her start yelping just
after the neighbor went by.

My heart just sank as I knew what must have happened.
I just didn't know how bad she was injured.

I picked her up & held her as I drove to the vet. ( a cold ride at 10 below!)

She has a broken pelvis & some road rash, but the doc says she should get
through it. He doesn't think any internals were ruptured.

She will have a rough week or two.

BTW It really wasn't the neighbor's fault, he wasn't going fast, in fact he has no idea it even happened.

It is extremely hard to see her in such pain.

I know many of you will think this is trivial, but she really is a child to us.

crap! glad your springer is ok bro!

 

[Gimpster]

Mafesto... I really feel your pain. On a happier side, she is still with you !

I hope she is healed soon

[mod03rmk800]

Hope she heals up fine. I also love my dogs. Been through casts and stitches myself with them, real hard thing to do.
Have a 4 year old Brittany that can't jump higher then a foot anymore but still loves life!!(SHH....he's my favorite, don't tell my other one I said that)
Keep the pills coming, slows um down.

 

[sledchick]

Here she is, not feeling good at all.

awww..the poor girl!! This picture really makes me sad, she looks so bummed out! I'm sure she'll "spring" right back! I'd be heartbroken if anything happened to my girls...I love them just like kids!!

 

[Mafesto]

Thanks again everyone.
It does help to know there are others out there who consider these companions their "children".

This morning she is showing some interest in food & drinking, that's a huge improvement.

 

[crix]

Springers are great dogs here is ours she is crazy and loves the snow

 

[Mafesto]

Springers are great dogs here is ours she is crazy and loves the snow

I think they love pretty much everything!

 

[crix]

I think they love pretty much everything!

yeah its true Loves cars, water, the woods, walks, sitting on the couch, golf cart rides, snowmobiles, digging under my shed, eating the mice she finds under the shed, throwing said mouse up on said couch!!!! hahaha

[milehighassassin]

[Blu Du]

I am glad things turned out better than expected and your dog is still with you. There is nothing trivial about losing your dog. I like dogs more than people. My little dog died on Christmas morning in my arms. I had her for 13 years and she was everything to me. I was crying so much I couldn't even talk to the vet on the phone. Her ashes now sit on my dresser in the bedroom and I still put her urn in bed with me at times as she used to sleep by my head at night. I sure miss her more than ever.................
