Poor Poor Crayola ..

Crayola is back with Gina, complete with 7 stitches, poor baby. But he was very happy to see her, as was she to have her Golden Heartbeat/Service Dog/Friend Extraordinaire back. I'm sure she'll want to tell you more when she gets a chance, but wanted to update everyone a little.

Thanks Karen. I know she must have missed him terribly.

where I am, coverage sucks, sorry. (I use pager to post on pet talk). I finally am at a friend's, using this computer now.

update: all for blood he had bleed over, yikes - she only found two (1/2 inch) eartip spilts, that bleed really good and made us really thought his neck/chest actually ripped off. sewn that both up seven stitches total. thank god, all good, clean.

one tooth punctured right into the corner of his eye, swelling all went away now, just to keep an eye on it for infection.

we also think he was snarled at (bitten) twice, eight punctured wounds on his muzzle/head.

poor him. but most importantly, this happy, happy golden boy was happy to be back with us and all seems fine for him. I'm so glad he is back with me, under my wings before we are leaving for california (for a refresh start) in less than eight hours.

about the woman, please don't get upset at this owner. she's very sweet, came up to me before I could ask for her contact info, felt all bad about this, been emailing me "how crayola's doing??", insisted me to give her my address for bill help when I told her to just not worry about it. she just had that dog, and was training her, didn't mean to let her go.

thank you everyone again - prayers worked, we are so happy again.

((((golden hugs & slurpy kisses)))) to all. hope to see you all again in ol'good sunny state.

I am so glad everything is ok. Seeing pictures of that golden angel broke my heart. Crayola continues to have a kind, gentle, loving expression despite all the trauma and blood. What a precious dog. I am so glad everything is ok with that precious baby.

Glad to hear he's going to be fine!
Hugs to the entire Ark!
I wish you all a safe trip to CA!

I'm glad it wasn't a worse injury. And, that Crayola is back home.

I'm so glad to hear that he's back with you, safe & sound. He's lucky that the injuries were not worse. Yous will be in my thoughts for a safe trip. I wish you & the ark the very best of luck!!!
