This young lady put us all through hell by escaping from the fence on Tuesday. We could not catch her when she was inside the fence, imagine what fun it was to capture her outside and running free.
A team of concerned neighbors, along with Jean from Dog Control, was out there for 3 hours trying to keep her out of the busy road—at rush hour no less—not an easy task. And she has no experience with roads to teach her to not stand in the middle, on a sharp curve, to dine on the rabbit road kill.
This photo to show that she survived being hit. After being broad-sided by a Jeep, she ran off to the back of our property and hid in the swampy area by the creek. I can not thank our search team, especially Alan and Roberta, enough for spotting her back there just before dark.
We were able to get her in the car, and then off to the emergency vet in Sidney. We were all truly amazed that she wasn't injured more than she was. Nothing broken, not bleeding, just some bruising and minor abrasions. With meds for a few days she should be fine.
She is officially back to the long leash outside, and sleeping inside. Now I get to do some sleeping inside as well.
