So things are all a hurry over here in the fox home.. I'm trying to get things organized for EVERYONE's camp's.. Hunter and Ben already left this afternoon and they'll meet us at the Airport tomorrow afternoon, but wouldn't you know it.. it wouldn't be a fox trip if something disastrous didn't happen right before we leave.. our little pug puppy Rowdy broke his leg yesterday... he and Hunter were playing and rowdy went to jump on Hunter, and Hunter stepped back and somehow Rowdy flipped and landed "wrong" on his back left leg.. he immediately was yelping and crying VERY LOUDLY.. I called our local vet and of coarse she was closed but she said "come on in" (gotta love small town vets!) we got some xrays.. i explained we wouldn't be able to do any kind of surgery etc. etc. she said we were lucky and the type of break it was it could be casted as long as we can keep him "calm" for a few weeks.. we have sedatives and pain killers... all for about a third of the cost of what an emergency vet and surgery would have costed.. (still sucks it's about what we SHOULD have been spending on a dishwasher).. so he'll be fine and with the kids gone he'll not get so excited.. he's still getting use to figuring out how to walk, eat, pee and poop with a stiff heavy cast on his leg... fun times for sure!!! but Ben will be the one taking care of him... sorry honey!!!
so I'll be out of pocket for a week or so...
wish me luck and pray for good weather.. RAIN SUCKS!!!
