| When Peny was 9 months old, she had a decent recall, and rarely left | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| our sight when in the yard with everyone there. I forgot however to | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| think about her love of chasing squirrels. We live on a rather quiet | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| street, lots of young kids that play in the street. A neighbor was going | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| to work driving the company panel truck (like UPS uses) He was running | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| late, he was just plain ol' speeden'... Peny did not whimper, whine, or | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| yelp... it was a SCREAM! I had to ask the gentleman to back the truck | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| off of Peny's foot. When I called the vet's regular number to get an | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| emergency number, no one turned on the answering machine, had to get the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| number from the phone book. meanwhile a very kind women from across the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| street came out with towels to wrap Peny's foot in. To jump back a bit | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| we had a great dog by the name of Jackie at the time, she was 10 years | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| old at the time.. back to where I was, We got Peny into my lap in the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| back of our car, and had one very difficult time getting Jackie to get | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| out of the car ( she wanted to be with Peny). Amazingly I remembered to | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| apply direct pressure, keep her head below heart level, and pray (I was | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| an EMT for around 10 years) Peny was in shock, had MAJOR soft tissue | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| injuries, but no internal injuries besides her foot, not even a broken | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| toe!!! It took 9 months to get a full healing of the skin, She still has | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| an occasional skin breakdown, she has arthritis in that foot, and her | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| inside toe is deformed, with the nail growing sideways I later learned | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| that kindly neighbor was bitten by Jackie for getting to close to Peny. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When we got home to tell our daughter that her dog was going to be ok, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jackie ran out in the road for the first time ever IN FRONT OF ANOTHER | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TRUCK!!! He was going slow and stopped, I could have died! BTW when Peny | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| screamed, several people told me later that they at first thought a | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| child had been hit, Peny sounded like a hurt child... One other affect of her accident took time to discover, Peny best we can figure hit her head during the accident, and as a result has siezures, and posablely is brain damaged... |
