Angel has some ouchies

[Lady's Human]

Axel was walking Angel this afternoon and a strange dog was in the yard. Before the boy could react, Angel was off and after the other dog. When she came back she was bleeding from a cut on her hindquarter.

She's at the vet now getting stitches.

Dear vet techs:

You have a strange dog, in a strange place, who's hurt in the rear quarter. I understand you need a general wellness survey, but given the situation, did you REALLY think it was wise to try to take her temp?

Uh oh, Angel pup! I hope you feel much better soon!

[Karen]

Oh, Angel, we know you feel the need to defend your yard, but next time, some great big barks will do the job just as well, I bet! We hope they stitch you up nice and clean, and when you wake up, you will already be on the road to recovery!

Paul asked, "Why don't they use one of those "swipe thermometers"? They are advertised specifically for pets!

We're home, disoriented and groggy from anesthesia, but home.

Her hind quarter is pretty well bruised in addition to the lacerations, and the tip of our tail is shaved as there was a cut there as well. The rest of the pack is on puppy watch, sleeping in the livingroom as she can't sleep in her usual places.

Awww, hope the night passes peacefully, and I am afraid she may have to wear her coat tomorrow, as her body has suffered major trauma. Sending prayers her way, oh, Angel, you sure know how to scare your humans, pretty girl! I'd give you a snuggle if I could, maybe your boy will give you one for me?

Poor Angel. Pawsitive thoughts and prayers headed your way that you will heal quickly.

I guess the doctor's orders don't apply to pups! So far, our dear little goofus has jumped up on my bed twice and has jumped up onto the couch and is currently curled up there. Go to sleep, little girl!
