Hi everyone.
No pics right now, sorry.
A couple of days ago my oldest dog Peggy scared my mom really bad by panting in a way that she thought she was going to die--it's not the first time my mom brought this up to me. I was really scared and depressed alot of the day & night, but she was fine later.
Tonight I am so sad and can't stop crying for 30 minutes. I'm ok now. Tonight my mom ran in and told me to help find peggy, so I ran out and tried to find her. I thought maybe she was still in the house and my mom was being crazy, so I told dad to go help outside and looked inside. No sign of her.
We all searched outside for about 5 minutes when I saw peggy walking in the middle of the road in the opposite direction of our house. I ran after her, and slowed down when I realised that the person next to her was Dad, who was picking her up. When he did she yelped out the same cry she did when she was sick the other night.
I thought she's okay.
But then we took her inside and I held her like a baby like I always do, and saw all of the blood on her tummy. We cleaned her off and there were two puncture wounds on the bottom side. After a bit of discusion we decided to taker her to the vet. When we got there it was closed.. so we took down the emergency number and started driving back home..
That's when I realised the blood on her back.. when we got home I ran into the bathroom to check.. and was horrified.. I pulled at her fur a little to lift it up to see where the blood was coming from... theres a huge gash and a chunk of her skin missing.. I started crying uncontrollbly.
I sat there rocking on the couch holding her and crying while my mom was trying to find a vet. She called about 7 places and they all turned us down because we don't have ready available money. I found two more puncture wounds right next to the gash on her back. I don't know wtf did this.. but I'm so worried right now and so depressed.
but, she seems okay.. she's acting okay.. I'm so scared though. We put up a crib for her to sleep in and tended to her wounds and gave her water, etc..
Anyway.. just wanted to let you guys know why I might not reply to pms/comments for a bit. I am not feeling really well right now and don't feel like talking too much. But, I might be posting pics in my LJ as usual and sounding happy tomorrow, because I tend to try and force it when it comes to being online, it makes me feel better.
Thank you, I love you all.
