On Monday I was puttering around outside. My wife came outside with the kiddo and the dog to see what I was up to and let them play in the snow. The dog suddenly bolted up and over the hill and out onto the highway and in path of a passing semi. We heard the impact and when I got there she had been thrown onto the opposite shoulder, squealing and trying to get up. Her breathing was ragged and she was bleeding from both ends. I sat in snow with her on my lap and pet her, and waited for her to die. But she didn’t. After about 20 minutes of seeing her suffer we threw her in the pickup and headed towards town. Her breathing got worse and weaker along the way. At one I thought it had stopped. We turned around because I was sure she wouldn’t even last until we made it to the vet. We pulled back into the driveway and once again I sat with her and waited for her die. And she didn’t. After another half hour her breathing got stronger and she was trying to sit up. We headed to the vet again they gave her x-rays. She had a ruptured lung and shattered pelvis. The blood had been coming from a torn up mouth, broken teeth and torn up hide on her hip. They sent us to a different clinic where she’s been admitted since. The past three days they’ve been trying to get the lung to heal so she can have surgery to put her pelvis back together, but unfortunately it isn’t. Tomorrow she’ll have the damaged portion of the lung removed and hopefully she’ll be stable in time for scheduled surgery on her pelvis next week at Washington state university. It’s looking like her odds are pretty decent. Lucy is a tough and lucky dog.

Wife says he's a good looking boy.Easter Eggers also lay colored eggs.
They are pretty cool as well.
This is our Rooster, he is a Frizzel Chicken
Also super cool bird, if you hand raise them from babies they most of the time are easy to be around and you can pick them up.

Glad she's doing good! She looks like a sweet girl
Got Lucy picked up from intensive care and drove her to the surgeon a couple hours away today. She’s already in amazing shape for being eight days removed from being hit by a semi.
She’s a sweet dog for sure. Looking forward to bringing her home after they screw her ass back together tomorrow.Glad she's doing good! She looks like a sweet girl
