DOG PROBLEMS 1

My daughter has two Dobermans, one named Lena and the other Lexie. Lena is very calm and quiet but loves to get off of her chain and run away. They have found her wandering around inside CVS Pharmacy. That would be scary for customers because she is a BIG dog. Well to get on with the story. Friday night I received a call from my daughter to look-up the phone number for the emergency animal clinic. Lena had been hit by a car. At first sight of her Julie thought she was not of this world anymore but she wasn't. They put her into the car and took her home. Upon calling the vet she found out that just to walk in the door was $95.00 and then from there you could add on x-rays, stitches, which she needed plus other things, the price would come to almost $1,000 which is hard to come by. Mike, her husband said to put her down and there is a healthy fee to have that done. Money that they didn't have. It turned out that Mike played doctor himself by cleaning the wounds and stitching her up himself. She is getting along fine but kind of mopes around, I would too if I got hit by a car. We can only pray that she does not have any internal injuries which I am sure would have shown up by now one way or another.
Ah, the price of owning a dog.
