Goodbye Pugsley

Tuesday afternoon while getting ready to take the kids to see a movie my Mom's dog Leroy escaped the fence to chase a dog that was walking down the street. Unfortunately My dog Pugsley followed him out the gate and got hit by a car. Thankfully he didn't die but he was seriously injured. I took him to the vet and found out that he had broken his right leg and fractured his left hip. He was in a state of shock and his stomach was filled with blood. He also had serious road rash.
He spent most of the day at the vet's office draining the blood and on pain medication. The Vet told me that he would need to get pins put in his legs and it was a very tricky break. This kind of surgery for the dog is very expensive and even with payment plans would be more than I can afford right now. After most of the day and alot of tears later I had to make the hard decision to sign him over to the vet. The nurses had fallen in love with him when I brought him in so one of them decided to adopt him and pay for the surgery.
So at the end of the day I had payed $300 to walk out of there without my own dog. It was a pretty hard thing to do. Anyway, He still has a lot of work he needs and we will miss him but he will be in good hands I know!
Wednesday (his sister) is getting used to being the only dog at home now. And I'm sure she'll adjust just fine!!
