Well having had my dog Dave the bearded collie for over a year now, he his still nuts as ever but still very timid at loud noises , cars etc. Doesn't even like travelling in the car, the noise puts him off !
He's quite an obedient dog when he wants, but yesterday was the day i dreaded !!
took him for his usual walk around the field where i live, nice walk but everybody uses it , bit of a walk trail if you know wot i mean, done his walk on my way back home , threw his ball and walked around the corner and for some reason no sign of him following me , (Usually runs in front) called him , nothing and heard an almighty bang !
in between the two fields is a busy road that has those large walk thro gates for walkers etc. they were closed, he'd jumped over the wall to go back where we came from , think he'd smelt a bitch in season or something as he was sniffing around for ages earlier on !
A car had it him up into the air and tossed him into the air like a rag doll , i knew he was dead, everybody did ! i ran grabbed him off the floor and a passerby in a 4x4 offered to take me to the vets , he was breathing but blood coming from his head, nose and eyes !
got him into the vets, they rushed to see him and said go home we'll call you in an hour ! dreading the hour
hr gone , phone call . checked him all over no bones broken but large head cut, broken teeth and facial cuts so far, but we'll av to observate him for the nxt 24hrs incase of internal bleeding
longest night ever, didn't sleep alot and feeling very guilty, and mrs and i upset
Vets ring 8.30am this morn. dreading the news !!
