Yesterday Finny got into a little scrape with our John Deere Gator. He ran right out in front of it and there was not time to stop. We took him into his vet last night and they couldn't really do much because it was so late so they bandaged up and sent him home.
When we got home he was very sleepy, He tried his best not to close his eyes.
He got lots of hugs and kisses, but was not too thrilled with his cone collar that he had to wear to bed.
We took him back to the vet this morning so they could sedate him and get some good x-rays, and clean out his wound and stitch him up. I just got a call from the office and he is doing well and resting comfortably. He has no broken bones and has 3 staples. He will have to be bandaged for over a week but he should recover nicely. When he gets home we're going to have to have a little talk about vehicle safety.
Oh man! I'm so glad nothing is broken :) Good to know you and him are able to have those kind of talks!
I've got a good story coming up about safety regarding our puppers too! Maybe we should start touring nationally together -- for animals' sakes!

He has that "I'm a brave dog" look, doesn't he?
Very glad it wasn't worse. Hope recovery proceeds apace!

he looks like he really didn't mean it and he's very, very sorry...

cattle dogs are not only dog, they are great companion to people we should love, care and treat them as part of our family.

I love that dog's face. He look so sweet, yet like he's a character. Hope he feels better soon, and has learned his lesson!!!
