A NEAR TRAGEDY...

We had a near tragedy today....Ryan took Meatball to the farm this afternoon. They went to look for something one of the hunters had left behind & fill the feeders, etc. Anyway, I'm a little unsure of the specifics, but somehow, my precious little Meatball got ran over by the Polaris.... YES, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. RYAN RAN OVER MEATBALL --DYLAN'S BUBBA, BUBBA BOO!! It scared Ryan to death. He said Meat was pinned underneath. He thought he killed him, but luckily he was wrong. I think he's going to be ok. He's only walking on 3 legs & he has a HOLE in the back of his leg, several cuts & some road rash. I have to admit, the 'hole' is a bit disturbing!! It's the size of a dime & it's pretty DEEP! All bones seem intact though, so that's wonderful! But as soon as I saw the little buddy looking so miserable, hobbling along, I got on the phone with our friend & vet's wife, Amy. I was going to take him in if Rick was working, but he was off this afternoon, so she told me to call him on his cell. I got ahold of him & he made me feel much better. THANK YOU DR. RICK HITTNER & AMY (Rick, you deserve a little advertisement for dealing with more of our doggy drama...sorry!!) I also sent Rick pics of the hole via cellphone. LOL Because of us, he probably hates taking care of his friends animals!! He couldn't tell too much from the photo, but he said he thinks it would be best to leave it "open". Hopefully tomorrow he will show signs of improvement. If not, we will be heading out to see Dr. Rick ASAP! I will keep you posted on his condition, but out of respect for his privacy, we have decided not to post pictures. It's just too much for him to handle right now.... I'm sure you all understand.

**In lieu of cards & flowers, Meatball prefers Milkbones, Scooby Snacks, Pupperoni's or McDonald's Cheeseburgers, no pickle!! ** :)
