How was your day?
Twiggyish | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 03:44 pm     ((Owl)) I know how you feel. I sure hope you report those dogs (as everyone is suggesting). The next victim might be a child!!! They sound vicious! |
Pamy | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:06 pm     {{{OWL}}} I am reading this at work and my eyes are tearing up, I am so glad you were able to get Spirit to the vet in time. Thoughts and prayers are with you, family , and Spirit |
Fanny | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:06 pm     What an awful thing to happen to Spirit. I can't even imagine how horrible it was (and still is). My heart goes out to you, and I wish for Spirit's quick and full recovery. Poor baby. Please keep us updated. |
Pamy | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:08 pm     Ya know, I had come to this thread to tell about my awful day and how I hate the 2 faced people I work with and I started reading about Spirit and my day didn't seem so bad, I guess I learned a lesson, no matter how bad your day is going there is someone having a worse one. {{SPIRIT OWL}}} |
Theowl | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:08 pm     Thank you so much everyone for the thoughts and prayers!! It is helping alot!! I called the "Dr." first thing this morning and the rec. said he was awake and alert. He even ate half of her egg biscuit which is great because yesterday he wouldn't even eat a homemade cheesy treat!! I decided to wait until after I saw him to let everyone know how he was. Then when I got home, I was sooo tired, because I didn't sleep last night and took a really long nap. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. He heard my voice before he saw me and he started whining. June (the receptionist) said she had just got him quieted down from when I talked to him this morning. I opened his cage and he came limping out and headed straight for the door!! I brought him a quarter pounder with cheese and he shared it with his little friend, Emma, a 6 month old black bulldog (really cute!!). I gave him a long back rub and alittle tummy rubs and nose rubbys. He was SOOOO happy to see us!! He was shaved almost all over. His ears are chewed up, and at the base of his left ear it looks like they tried to chew it off. His back left leg looks the worst with alot of cuts and holes in it. His tail is really swollen and the tip was chewed off. The worst part is his right back leg. That's the one he can't walk on. It's got the same injuries as the other one, except the meat was torn away from the bone. He is still oozing quite a bit, but the dr. said that is one good thing about the punctures at the bottom of his legs. Because if he didn't have the holes for the stuff to come out of, they would have to make one. I guess that makes sense. He just looks SO awful, but he is alive!! It was so hard to leave him, but I know it's the best thing for now to keep him quiet and not trying to play with the others. The Dr. called me late this afternoon,(woke me up) to let me know we can come get him tomorrow!! He's going to be on alot of medicine, but he will be happier. I really hope Stucky (the choc. lab) will be careful, because he loves to play and jump around with Spirit. They really miss him and when I ask them where's Spirit, they run for the door. I really hope Tom can get over his anger at Stucky, Shannon and Sandi, because of the fact that they just barked at the fight instead of helping Spirit out. He's not mad at Suzie, because she's too little. I'm sure they all feel bad, but I'm sure they were really scared!! This is getting really long, so I'll come back in a bit to respond to the ?'s about the neighbors. Thanks again or the prayers. Spirit told me to let you know he could feel them, and we love you all!!  |
Twiggyish | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:15 pm     Owl, I'm glad he's feeling better. Poor baby! It does sound like his appetite has returned and that's a good thing. |
Fanny | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 04:18 pm     (((((((((((((The Owl & Spirit Family))))))))))) So glad he'll be ok. Sounds like it may be a fairly long road to recovery, but it sure is better than the alternative. Thanks, Owl. |

Theowl | Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 10:50 am     Thank you so much everyone for caring about Spirit and me. I posted in my folder about Spirits progress since he came home. Now this thread can go to "How was your Day???" I hope everyones day is as good as mine and Spirits now. Thanks!! xoxoxo Spirit and TheOwl Pamy, I hope you tell us about the 2 faced people in your office. I know it will make you feel better knowing that everyone here cares about everyone here!! (?)  |

Maris | Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 01:19 pm     I am glad to hear your dog is doing well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Any update on the neighbors? Are they going to compensate your medical bills? |
Pamy | Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 03:00 pm     Thanks Owl!! I am so happy that Spirit is doing better! That makes my day!!!!!!! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, January 25, 2003 - 03:13 pm     oh owl, i missed all the excitement, not having been to this topic earlier. how awful for both you and spirit. i felt so bad reading about it, even though it has been a couple of days now. for me, it's as if it just happened. are the other dogs treating him okay? i'll bet he is glad to be home with you. keep us posted on his progress because we all care about him. anyone who has a pet--and even those who don't--can certainly sympathize with your plight. sending good thoughts for continued 'healing successs' to spirit!! i remember when my cat was sick last year and the vet said he wouldn't eat a bite while he was there, so i went down and actually crawled into his 'pen' with him in the middle of towels he had peed on and water he had spilled, and the sick smells emanating off of him...and held him and hand fed him tiny, tiny bites of food. and i didn't care what i looked like or smelled like! fortunately all of our vets and their staff feel about animals as i do, and not one of them found it strange that i was inside my cat's sickbed with him!! when you love your pet, they are family and you would do anything to make things right for your family. |
