(no subject)
My neighbors dog just got run over right in front of me. The neighbor was out in her yard talking with our other neighbors. Her dog ran in the street (after her ball I think) and a car just smashed right into her. The neighbor screamed, we all ran to Molly (the dog). Lucky for Molly I could only find lacerations on her paw. I felt no broken bones (except maybe her 2nd toe right front paw) and no back/neck injuries. I'm sure they will xray. Her color was fine and she drank. She wasn't in shock or going into shock. I hope she's ok. I was so fucking scared. I'm still shaking. I've seen plenty of emergencies but its never been a dog I know so well. I tried really hard not to cry because I get so upset when they hurt. Often at work I'd have to not cry because it hurts me to see any animal in pain. I miss all my regular patients. I'll not get to see Stumpy die. He is a cat I treated every day for renal failure. I found a huge lump on his jaw the dr totally overlooked cause she didn't care which turned out to be (as I'd told the dr) a bigas sarcoma. I love Stumpy and I'll miss him. Maybe its good I won't have to see him die. I'm attached after a year of seeing him nearly every day. I hate those bitches at work. All the clients always told Page (the office manager) how much they loved me and how they knew their animals felt comforted by me. Its the one thing I know that's good about me. Animals love me and trust me. Freddy always just left those slip on leashes on the dogs and they'd twist on n get tighter and tighter and I'd BEG him to PLEASE not leave those on the dogs. He's scared of being bitten and that's why he woulldnt take them off. I've been bitten three time by a dog in my life and not once was it because I was helping them. All three times were German Shephards and all three times I was little and they just decided biting me would be fun. I donno. I wanna be Cesar Millan and like help people understand dogs and help dogs with whatever bothers them. I have no qualifications for that though. Anyway I'm rambling now.
