The Saga Continues

Black dog is staying with Shannon and her family for a day or so. My poor Hutchy is feeling very neglected. So hurt that he chose to sleep on the hardwood in the hallway instead of in the comfy bed with us.
Things don't seem so impossible now. Black Dog's official diagnosis is fractured pelvis and slight hip dislocation. The worst part, the part that just pisses me off is that the injuries are at least two weeks old. He had been in pain for two weeks and nobody helped him. We were told that there is no real treatment for the fracture, he just needs love and care. Hopefully in six to eight weeks he will be back to his old self again. So far we have spent $245.00. I know that is much less than it could have been.
I want to send out a huge Thank You to Jana at White Oak Studio. She has graciously offer to help with the medical bills. I know she is doing it for Scout, her beautiful girl. Shannon and I both have three children and are one income families.
John and I have decided that if no owner comes forward next week, about the same amount of time the shelter would hold him, Black Dog will stay with us. Then we will have to give him a proper name.

  1. Ok I just found you through Vivian at "bits and pieces". I don't own a dog and don't think I ever will. But I wanted to tell you thank you for doing the right thing for this poor poor dog! What a sweetie. I'll be sure to keep reading your updates. All the Best to you and your family!

  2. Poor pupcake is lucky to have found you. Our Gracee is a rescue who ran up the medical bills in the beginning.

  6. I think it was fate Sonya - blackdog was meant to find you and you to find him. He's meant to be a part of your loving, caring, amazing family! He does need a proper name though... I'm thinking he looks like a Bailey or a Riley.

  7. You know his name will end up being blackie or something since that's what you are thinking of him as now.
