Besides getting the heave-ho from work there was a bit of other drama here yesterday. Nicki got out wandering (he's our older dog). Kota was out too (9-month old lab, in case you don't remember). Kota is always out when the kids are out because she sticks by them and protects them from evil neighbors, ice cream men and other suburban menaces. Nicki isn't supposed to be out because he is a dumbass and because Kota will follow him around.
Nicki ran across the street in front of a pick-up truck. Kota was following him. Nicki may or may not have been hit - no injuries in any case. Kota was lucky that the driver stopped the truck so fast but she still got tagged. She's got a 2 inch patch of fur and skin scraped off of her face on the orbit of her left eye and the same on her chin. I treated the wounds and Lovely Wife put a bandage on the big wound.
She's okay and none of the injuries are health threatening. She sure is timid now though - I hope she gets her spunky nature back soon. Also, she looks like a complete dumbass and that can't be good for her self esteem:

That's Don Juan de Burger relaxing on top of her. Notice the underwear too? That's one of Bacon's night time pants. She started her first heat just now too.
Lovely Wife went out and got her some very sexy dog lingerie to hold her maxies so she's not in pull-ups any more. No pictures of that due to threats from PETA.
So sorry about your dog getting hit--I've been there, it's so frightening. But it sounds like she'll be fine--good to hear.
So all we've got to wait for is the end of civilisation as we know it and this whole mess will be over.
Seriously, these things come in threes...why don't you post a sucky entry just to get the third out the way?
Rains. Pours.
Do me a favor and get the oil checked on your cars and also confirm that the washing machine connection to the water pipes is firm and tight. Did I leave anything out?
Then go buy a lottery ticket. Your luck has got to start changing.
Oh, I am so glad they are all right. I lost a dog to a car once; my first dog.
But even with a bandage Kota is a pretty girl.
I left out: GREAT picture. Kids and dogs, gotta love it.
Thanks, y'all. She's doing well now. She's sucking up the extra lovin like a big chocolate sponge.
Pet Kota for me and tell her that women with scars are sexy. Dead sexy. Men love the scars.
Even the emotional ones.
Hug to you, baby, and big pet for Kota from me. And for your son? Oh yeah, he gets masses of imaginary sugary treats.
And I will post you some clothes. I swear I've yet to see a pic of your children with clothing on. Do they like pink?
Burger is such the cutie pie. I'd spoil him rotten so I guess it's just as well I'm waaay over here on the left coast.
I'm uploading hugs and lovin' to darling Kota. . .and I'm with RP -- you might want to look into a lotto ticket or maybe cheap fares to Vegas for the impending luck change.
Still devouring M&Ms,
Em
So glad the dog is ok Jim. It'll be two years ago this week that we lost our first dog (really my wife's, I just kinda inherited him when we started dating).
I loved that dog... but I let him out the front door without puting the leash on him and he took off down the alley by our house, right into traffic. I ended up watching the whole thing and feeling so helpless...
That experience has made me a MUCH more conscientious owner with my new dog.
VERY happy to hear that yours will be A-OK.
Jes' the thought of maxi-pads for dogs makes me glad I had my bitch fixed. As she was a mixed breed and most likely part of an accidental pregnancy herself, as I adopted her from our local dog pound, it seemed the most plausible thing to do. As for the cute kid layin' atop of her, I was noticin' that he seems to have some muscular legs, and wondered if he could kick a ball farther than that dog would be willin' to chase after it.
I don't think there is such a thing as farther than that dog would chase it. She's absolutely tireless and uniquely determined.
