Rough Night...

Tonight started off as usual…We were headed out the door to go to Austin’s soccer practice. It was such a beautiful night that I decided to take Bear and Cookie to the practice with us. As soon as we got out the front door, Cookie slipped out of her leash and ran across the street and down a couple of houses. Literally seconds later…the squealing of tires, a thump and yelp and Cookie had been hit by a car chasing another dog back across the street. THANK GOD Austin knew better than to run into the street after her!!! Cookie wiggled around a lot under the car and finally managed to get out from under it. She took off again down the street. 45 minutes with the help of my brother-in-law, 5 neighbors and the poor guy who hit her, we finally got her back home. She was breathing funny and was walking with a little limp but mostly looked OK. We took her to the Vet who did X-Rays and took some blood to ironically check for internal bleeding. She has a collapsed lung and some internal bruising, but no broken bones or internal bleeding at this point. They started an IV, gave her some pain meds and said that she needed to go to the hospital for overnight observation.So $563.52 and 5 ½ hours later, Cookie is doing better but in the ICU for observation at the Animal Hospital. I have to go get her at 7:00 tomorrow morning and I hope they let me bring her home…what a night! Needless to say, I’m now a day behind on proofing and getting collages and orders out. I will try to get caught back up as much as possible tomorrow and will still be able to make my April 19th deadline for the Mother’s Day sessions.

4/17 **UPDATE** Cookie is back home and doing MUCH better. She has stayed curled up at my feet all day while I worked form home. She is still not eating anything, but I’m sure that will get back to normal soon. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes!
