Where to start this story.... Lex and I were coming back from hanging out at Becca's house and realized that we needed to drop off the blazer at the mechanic. We get to the house and Lex hops in the blazer leaving Bailey (our dog) and I to drive over to the mechanic where we would pick Lexi up. It was a perfect evening for the sunroof to be open and the windows to be down so Bailey told me to turn the music up. :-) As I did so I had the thought to grab Bailey's leash just in case she got to far out of the window.(Thanks goodness I listened to that prompting) The next thing I know I feel lots of weight on the end of the leash as Bailey falls out of the car. As i look back and realize Bailey is gone i let go of the leash, feel a thump under my rear tire, and swerve to the side of the road. As I slam the car in park(way before i came to a stop) I hear Bailey howling. Lex pulls the blazer to a stop and we rush her to the midnight(really expensive) vet which is just down the road(did I mention that they are really expensive?) Here I am feeling like an absolute loser. I mean who the heck lets thier dog fall out of the car at 50 miles an hour. We have already had quite a few expected and unexpected expenses this month and I'm just praying I didn't break her leg which would cost tons and might mean we have to put her down. As we walk in who is on shift but or good friend Kainoa Clark. He examined her and found that she had a couple lacerations but nothing serious. Since it wasn't serious the vet didn't come to see her we were charged nothing. Boy was I grateful for those little miracles. Anyway I know long boring story but here are the pictures of our damaged puppy. Sorry Bailey!!!
We put a sock over her worst laceration because it was still bleeding
She had little road rash raspberries in different spots mostly her back legs though.
This was what the sock was covering and the worst one.
Just want to say that I'm so grateful that it wasn't too serious. Hopefully the pain pills that we got from Kainoa will help her through the stiffness she will feel tomorrow.
Goota love a free Vet visit :) Bailey probably does not feel as bad as you did. Maybe it was cause your music was so loud :) jk jk #somethingsneverchange
ReplyDeleteThat makes me sooo sad. She's been through a lot. But I know you gave her lots of love and attention. It's funny, as you drove away last night I was looking at Bailey hanging out the window and I thought that I really hope she knows better than to get too far out. Bring her over and grandma will let her lay on my pillow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to not have to pay those expenses! Now I'm creepin on your blog so watch out!
