Puppy Go Boom!
Our poor pup Archie had the worst day of his life (and one of mine) this past Saturday. You see he and his big bro Bojangles (Bo-the pom/chi mix) love to wrestle...like hard core UFC style minus the shin kicks! Saturday morning as I sat on my stairs opening mail, the two pups came barreling down the stairs and poor Archiebear decided to skip 4 in fear that Bo would capture him. He took a nose dive and ended up with a broken leg. The poor guy broke both main bones in his front left paw--the paw he shakes with :( He squealed so loud, ran to his kennel, and proceeded to go pee pee on himself. He was sooo scared! Luckily Aunt Katie was visiting and drove us to the doggy hospital. I was able to hold him like a baby while keeping his dangling arm as stable as I could. He had some xray's taken and sure as shoot he snapped 'er right in half! Little Archie had a splint and wrap put on that day but I was informed that he would have to go to a doggie surgeon specialist. We left the clinic with puppy painkillers and a very drugged up Archie. Saturday was a rough day for him but yesterday he was soooo HYPER! Same old Archie but with only 3 working legs! He is still super fast on 3 legs and continues to spin in circles when he gets excited. Must be a pom thing! Tomorrow he goes in to see the specialist and have surgery! Pray that Archie's surgery goes well and pray that hi mama's pocket book suddenly has boat loads of money falling out of it! :) Here are some pics of the little guy!
Yesterday morning! Yes we signed his cast!!! :) What a little trooper!
