Where’s your dog?

[Tracy Bowman]

how much would you spend on your dog to save its life?

this little guy on Friday managed to find a dropped rib bone on the floor before we noticed it.
without any teeth, one would think he would just parade around and savor the flavor and be proud of his find.
Nope, the little shit swallowed it whole.
We knew the bone dropped, but never found it. and suspected he was the culprit.
He threw up an hour later, so it was pretty evident we had to go to the emergency vet on a Friday night and have it dealt with. he definitely wasn't going to poop this one out.
First, we waited 3 hours to even be seen. Apparently it was critical animal injury night and since this boy wasn't in distress, we kept getting pushed back.

finally when he got a turn for the x-rays to confirm he ate it, that was $675.

now for the shocker.

to take him in for surgery....they wanted $7000 up front, and if life saving procedures were required during surgery that would be extra...or we could waive that and just let him cross the rainbow bridge.
We went ahead with the surgery and they performed it at 3am Saturday morning. He pulled through fine, but still has to heal. 4 hours after his surgery he was cuddling with the staff while they did their morning meeting.
In the end they gave me back some money because they only had him for a day. He was home by 9pm Saturday. But it still cost me $3675. Good thing my OF account is rocking subscribers. I might have had to do a live show to make up for it.
he's a good boy and worth the expense. It wasn't his fault he found the bone first and scarfed it down.
100% human error here. lesson learned the hard way.

Such a good heart! Glad he’s okay, RP!

In town at a protest walk we did (didn't really know the kids) then at a NFS dog park.

Yes we do socialize these mutts.

A natural dog park.

Thanks. It’s getting more use than the Ranger now that the kids are older, we’ve started a lawn mowing service and use it for that.

Someone dropped this dog off about 3 weeks ago. She has adopted us. Such a sweet loving dog that I named her Lucy.

Our GSD, Chief, has accepted her, thankfully.

The best dogs are the ones that just show up ... how does one just drop off a dog like that somewhere strange and then be able to sleep like nothing happened ?

Same people we read about in the news having done some weird/bad/stupid thing.
They're everywhere.

I know. She’s so beautiful and sweet. She has a problem with dribbling urine. I feel like that might could be why. She’s not doing it, it just comes out at times. We’ll have a vet check her out.

She has a problem with dribbling urine.

That's pretty common for doggos when in a new place , she has to change her PeeMail address and let everybody know about the new crib ... looks like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds came from the factory with the pit package , she will fight for ya ... pretty good team with the GS...

That's somewhat common in older bitches that have been fixed. We had an older St who had that issue.

Shame if somebody ditched her over that.
