SKINNED ALIVE !!!!

[Raven]

that stake is sorta off my property in the north west corner out of sight and thus out of mind...on the other side of some big bushes.
for all i know and i'm checking out every detail it could belong to the neighbor...but i kinda doubt it..

i didn't install the stupid thing... but you better believe i'll be diggin that son of beotch up this morning...

thanks Ron and Larry... for your thoughts.. Star is a GIRL dog

i'm still rather traumatized this mornin .... to say the least...
you get sooo attached to your best little pal.... so it hurts me deep

She's so friggan fast shes like that coors train in the super bowl commercial....she's part dingo...the wild dog who has to chase down their food to eat.. and i've made her twice as fast with thousands of hours of athletic training...she's an athlete for real.

i have to wait to hear from the nice VET around 8 am to see how shes doing.... and we'll fetch her tonight... as it takes two people.

i was just editing a picture i took of her to make me feel a little better... because i feel really sad... and bummed out. i mean ...i've seen plenty of injuries to dogs in my life but this was the worst ...more like an autopsy in comparison... but i'm sure she'll pull thru because shes as tough as a diamond...

here she is...

STAR

wishing you and star the best...

Wow, not sure what to say.
I am a huge dog fan, I just gave my German Shep a bath yesterday with the good weather.
Raven, I hope everything works out for you!

Raven I'll be praying for your pooch. There is nothing like the loyalty,
companionship and love that you get from a good dog.
People should take note.

just finished talkin to the Doc...and she's gonna make it...

thank GOD !!!

all that training has paid off in that, she had zero fatty tissue and the metal stake didn't damage her muscle tissue...too bad -even though shes very much bruised....

and she has drainage tubes for awhile to relieve the pressure..and she be on heavy pain killers for a week...or so..

the Doc said: she is the most physically in shape dog she's ever seen....so i guess that says something... and i told her..well thats because she's a martial artist and can turn on a dime because that's how i train all my dog's....and then she said , so thats how you did that....wow...! i was amazed at the condition she's in despite the injury ,she said. she had stared at her the whole night.

phew... thats a relief, now i can go immerse myself in my work and chill out in the sunshine... (that sounds funny)

time to go hang some bird houses, plant some seeds and plants ect.
do some diggin....and more diggin heh heh

thanks for letting me VENT here... as i'm all alone... way out in the country with no one to really to talk too...so posting helps me cope.

Raven,
I feel your pain , I'm a dog lover too !
Meet "Raider"
my 6 year old Boxer.

one ear up and one ear down...
must be the radar lol

yeah Dave i hear ya... even though it wasn't my fault
i still felt very responsible because i should have realized that the dam pipe
with the jagged edge was an accident waiting to happen .

it's just that i don't that spend much time in that particular area
and when you see a boundary stake the first thing you think of is
gotta leave that be...when in fact you don't have to at all.

North Kingston ,Rhode ISLAND
...that's around 62 miles from me
so the offer is awesome... but driving all that way with hardly any
chance to brake wouldn't be a good idea.but thanks! just the same.
==========================================
STAR is doing tremendously well...and she's like ok,
when we gonna chase some kitty cats or some squirrels dad? lol

they take a beating and keep on ticking... i'm truly AMAZED!
she got like 40 stitches and has some drainage tubes but other than
that she's cruising around without even a whimper. WOW !

when i saw her innards, i thought she wasn't gonna make it at all.
and at first i thought she had been impaled and not just skinned
like a chicken breast - so it was a real mind blower for me...

it seemed like her eyes were gonna roll back and then lights out at the time...
so it was really creepy... it's amazing how they put her back together
so well considering...the scope of the injury.

Teaser they have her on tramadol
and since that's what you take for a kidney stone ,
i know first hand thats some powerful stuff.
