Murphy Saga Continues . . .


That is Murphy's leg ...
So I get off at three on Friday afternoon and decided to walk a mile or so with my mom and neighbor. Murphy and Sadie followed us down the road. The neighbor dog went up to Murphy and with no warning attacked him. She shook him back and forth and then threw him in the air. I thought when he hit the ground he was going to be dead because I figured his neck was broke. He amazingly got up and hauled ass. I saw the whole thing happen. He was running but only on three legs. His back leg was twisted in the opposite direction and dangeling down. It was gross. I scooped him up, he was yelping, I was 1/2 a mile from home and all I could do was walk really quick. Anyways, we got him to the vet by 4:30 and he spent the night Friday night. I got to bring him home Saturday and Sunday and I had to return him for surgery this morning. Pins and plates in his legs. The doctor seemed to think he cold fix him. Please say a prayer for me. I am blessed to have neighbors like I do, they offered to pay for everything and even went with me to see the vet Saturday morning.

Yeh, I am pretty stressed out about it and Jessie is at the deer lease with no phone reception so I can't call him and talk to him about it.
