Last night, as Nathan was taking the rubbish out, Seven (the puppy, for anyone that is new here) ran onto the road and was hit by a car. We are very lucky, in that the guy who hit her, immediately brought her to the door.
She was limp. She was completely unresponsive. She was bleeding from her nose.
We thought that she was going to die.
After laying her down and checking her over, she was still breathing and nothing seemed to be broken. She was just….limp. And unresponsive.
So, we bit the bullet, went bugger the cost and took her to the vet. Somewhere between here and the vet, she actually started to lift her head and move a a little, so we were hopeful, that maybe she wouldn’t die.
The vet was honest and said that she was in a great deal of shock, she had bleeding in her lungs and she was in pain. They suspected a possible broken pelvis and maybe a fractured leg.
We left her there and the vet promised to ring in the morning (this morning).
9.30am came and went and I couldn’t wait any longer, so I rang the vet.
Seven had a good night, her lungs are now clear, she is awake and happy and amazingly, there is nothing broken. We can pick her up this afternoon, she is fine.
I am thinking, maybe we should change her name to Lucky?
So that is why there was no blog post last night. By the time we got back from the vet, I was so tired, all I wanted to do was sleep. So I did.
I’d say Seven is a lucky name.
And? Glad you got some sleep.

Oh hell, the poor little thing.
That’s one of my worst nightmares. If anything happened to one of my hounds I would be a mess.
Don’t change her name. It’s a beautiful name.

Poor puppy. It’s heartbreaking when something like that happens. Did you know you can now take out health insurance for pets now? Not that I’m suggesting you do, but you know, it’s just kinda interesting.
Glad Seven is oK and htat you got some sleep!
Well, Seven is supposed to be a lucky number, right?
When I was growing up, we had a Great Dane. She was everything to me. I let her in one morning right before I went to school and she was standing by the door, bloody.
I went to work after school, (I worked in our vets office) and she was in the back, 273 stitches. Such a trooper.
And she lived to the grand old age of 13 (nearly unheard of for a ‘giant’ breed) –
I’m so glad Seven is going to be okay.

I am so glad that your puppy is okay!
And congratulations on your pregnancy. I kind of understand what you mean about not being sure being a pregnancy blogger. I kind of feel the same way because of all my other dead baby mommy friends. I remember how hard it was to hear about other pregnancies when my child had died in my womb.
But I know that friends are happy for other friends who have good news and I am sure they will all support you in this.
Take care.

aaawwwwwww….poor Seven! I don’t think you should change her name. I’m so glad she’s all good. Damn pets, and that annoying way they have of making you love them…
Bettina read my mind and said it first. That’ll teach me to put things off.
7 is a lucky number.
Get a good bloody fence up before Amy gets curious!

Did she run out when the door was opened? It’s so frustrating when they do that – Puddy often does it and I always worry she’s going to disappear or run onto the road and get hurt!
It’s good to hear that Seven is okay – I hope she has a full and fast recovery!
I’m so glad that Seven is ok!

I’m so glad she’s okay! Everybody in my house heard me gasp when I read that she was hit by a car. Poor puppy! If something happened to my 4 legged children I’d be devastated.
And thank you for giving me my morning belly laugh with your comment about driving on the wrong side of the road. You are the BEST!
