Hi. Update. Long.

[liverandonions]

I can't believe the driver didn't stop! I would hunt them down! I hope your baby is a-ok soon! I hate seeing them in pain.

But, i will tell you a story of dog resilience...My next door neighbor I grew up with is a K9 Police Officer and a few weeks ago his dog was shot in the line of duty (he jumped in front of Randy and took a bullet for him). He was shot in the paw and in the jaw-His tongue was almost severed. He's getting a metal plate put in his jaw, but is otherwise doing SO good! In fact, Randy is running a 100miler this weekend and Bodie will run the last .10 miles with him (well, he'll hobble). Dogs are amazing, and although he's in a tough spot now you'll figure out the balance of his meds and hopefully he'll be back to full speed in no time.

I am so sorry that a-hole hit your dog. But, I am glad that your pup is still here and recovering. Sending positive thoughts your way.

[Kit]

Oh, Chesh. I'm so sorry. I hope he makes a full recovery. I would like to find the fucker that did this and didn't stop, and run him over with my car.

((hugs))

[murdock]

Huge hugs to you and your dog. I can't imagine. You're doing so much.

Hopefully, these four weeks will go really well!!!

[alzi]

I have been thinking of you guys, and am sending so many hugs.

I am so glad he is home, and hope recovery is easy for him (and you). I wish I could be there and help.

[lust2hart]

I'm sorry, Chesh. I'm glad things seem okay, relatively speaking, and I hope he makes a full recovery!!

[poppyseed]

Chesh, I am so sorry all of this is happening. Poor little guy. I can't believe the person didn't even stop. Hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery!

[krismill]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know you don't know me, but from one dog mama to another, I'm praying that he's back to himself in 4 weeks and no worse for wear.

[nahoku]

I'm so sorry this happened and I hope he is able to make a full recovery. I know you are doing everything possible to make that happen!

[iamali]

I'm so sorry Chesh. I hope he recovers quickly.

(((hugs))) to you both.

[KKD]

Oh, Chesh, I am so, so sorry. Poor dog. I hope he makes a full and quick recovery!

[pittsmcgee]

I'm so sorry Chesh. I wish him a speedy recovery. How scary

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry this happened.

I'm glad he's back at home. I'm sure he's still out of it, but I know he feels better just being there at home with you. Poor guy

[bcv513]

Chesh I am so damn sorry. I hope puppy continues to do well. And I'd like to hunt down the asshole who didn't stop.

[housegeek]

Thanks for the update, I was sending some positive thoughts your way yesterday. I am so sorry, I can't even imagine how heartsick you must be. Dogs are crazy resilient though, and you'll both be in my thoughts!!!

[sweetcaroline10]

Hope the pup heals quickly. Hugs to you both.

[BlackCanary]

I am so sorry you are going through this. Big hugs to both you and your pups.

[Jermys]

Fuck, I'm all crying and stuff. All of us are sending you both love and hugs...gentle ones for G, and if you need anything, let me know. Would he eat homemade liver cakes? They're soft and Lucy goes MAD for them.

I hope that driver loses a fucking eye. Asshole.

[kellbell191]

Ours love hot dogs cut into little tiny pieces. Nice and soft and easy for him to eat. Also boiled chicken and rice if the meds upset his stomach.

[VeryViolet]

This made me cry I cannot imagine how hard this is. I really hope after rest and TLC your pup is as good as new, sending good thoughts your way.

[meadowlark]

Aww. The picture of him struggling to get out of the car made me tear up. You are in my thoughts!

Jermys, that sounds like something he'd love. Are they hard to make?

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. He keeps getting up and going to the door like he wants to go out, but the vet said for bathroom breaks only. It's breaking my heart. I don't think he needs to go yet because he just did not long ago.

I made the mistake of taking his harness off (he can't wear his regular collar, so I got him a harness this morning) and now he won't let me put it back on. So I certainly can't let him out until I manage that at least. But if he even sees it in my hand he won't let me near him. And I don't want to wrestle with him too much because I don't want to hurt him. I just thought he might be more comfortable and settle down more easily to sleep without it on, because he hates wearing things.

Ugh.

[monkeyknifefight]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. ({) (})

[cheesierthanchedda]

Poor puppers. Poor Chesh. I hope his recovery is easy and quick, for both of you.

Is there a reason you can't just get him some wet dog food?

[LLL]

((hugs)) I hope your pup makes a full recovery

[thedutchgirl]

This is my worst nightmare. I sincerely hope for. Quick and complete recovery for your pup.

[cymru]

I hope he recovers quickly.

This happened a block from my inlaws. Bodie was treated at the vet we go to. It really is an amazing story.

Chesh, I hope your doggie makes a speedy recovery. My mom used to feed her cats chicken baby food when they were sick. Maybe he would like that.

[Deleted]

Keeping you guys in my thoughts!

[Jermys]

I buy them from a woman I know. Message me your address and I'll send you a crapload. Or I'll see if she'll give up the recipe...I know not everyone whores out their personal information on here like I do lol
