Puppy Injured, No hound to release.

As A Remembrance: 12/12/05,

To all those I was hoping to be in contact with today for various reasons: I will talk to you later.

I am at the animal hospital. Pearl charged a dog and broke free the fence at the Red River house and ran full steam into a car. I will be at the hospital for the next few hours at least or as long as it takes.

Initial reports are good. She was limping and loosing hair due to the shock. She had a small abrasion on her right back foot and a large scratch on her shoulder. She had blood in her mouth and that is the worst of it right now.

I will keep you posted as to the status and please be patient with my replies.


-and later-

I think my little girl is alright. The vet gave her back to me with the same black tread mark across her shoulder, very sore, slightly sluggish puppy who is a little drugged-up. She has no broken bones and they don't think her internals have any damage. She's clearly very shaken up and keeps trembling. The patient is currently snoring loudly at my feet. I still have her blood on my close and I'm sure I was freaking out when I took her to the Vet.

On a weird note, the Vet and her speech impaired assisted did say ask me what about my blood type.

"A-Positive", I told them, "but why do you need to know that?"
Well, after a few hmms and a gaggle of haws and even a longer time staring at the floor, the bald stammering Vets assistant yelped at me, " we tested Pearl and found out that she is expecting a litter of Muppies".

My jaw dropped. I asked the Vet and her slack jawed assistant, "What on gods earth is a 'Muppy'?"

The 50-somthing grey haired granola Vet lady explained to me, "A muppy is a man-puppy". She went on to describe that "Some man, a HUman, has been having sex with your dog and has gotten her pregnant. The only thing we know is that his blood type is type-O".

Then, she kinda stepped back and glared at me. And as one of her eyebrows arched and the corner of her mouth began to curl she grunted " it ain't right to have sex with an DOG".

I quickly paid Pearl's bill cash and left before they got their pitchforks out and chased me down the street with the rest of the angry villagers.

So, I need to have a difficult conversation with Mark tonight.

Thank you all for your concern about Pearl. For those of you whom have not met her she would like to say "thank you". For those who know her well, she asked me to tell you, "woof, woof woof, gurgle, gurgle wheeeh".
