Obie Trice

Yesterday our poor little puppy, Obie, was hit by a car. Here's what happened: I woke up and let her outside about 7:30 am like I do every morning. Aaron usually brings her back inside when he gets up around 8:30. So, I went to work and figured that yesterday would be like any normal day. Well at 9:00, Aaron opened the back door to let Obie in, but she wasn't there. Since she can jump the fence, Aaron wasn't too worried when he saw that she wasn't in the backyard. He walked outside and started calling for her. Usually she just laying down under our carport - but not yesterday.
After looking all around the house, Aaron jumped in his car and drove up and down our street for like 30 minutes. When he came back he saw Obie laying down in the corner of our carport. Aaron jumped out of the car and started calling Obie because he was going to spank her for running away. He called her for a few seconds, but she was unresponsive. That's when he knew something was wrong. He walked closer and saw that her belly and back legs were covered in blood.
So, Aaron rushed to the vet - on the way there Obie started to go into shock. When they finally got to the vet...the veterinarian discovered that Obie had huge chunks of flesh ripped out of her legs in several spots (we think this is from her being scraped over rocks on the road). In several of the spots you can see all the way down to the bone. She also had a lot of blood in her lungs, so they had to hook her up to a ventilator to help her breathe.
Anyway, they didn't think she was going to make it....BUT she did (thank goodness). They can't really do anything for her besides give her antibiotics. We took her home last night because the vet said there was no purpose leaving her up at his office. They don't have any staff there at night, so if she got worse or died she would at least be in a comfortable "safe" place.
So we brought Obie home yesterday afternoon and let her camp out in our room. We made a pallet on the floor for her, but after we left the room she somehow jumped up on the bed. ***We were really surprised because she literally can't even walk or breath, but she somehow jumped 3 feet up*** Anyways, our bed in now covered in blood and smells awful, but at least Obie's comfortable, right......?
Aaron took Obie back to the vet this morning, so they could start stitching up her wounds and give her some more medicine for her lungs. Good thing we only spent $23 on this dog when we bought her - because we're going to have to shell out the $$$ once we get this vet bill (YIKES!)

Oh and I included a picture of Potter, so that he doesn't feel to left out.
