Little did I know when I wrote the quote above that today might be that day. As I was coming out of the woods tonight from an uneventful bow hunt my cell phone rang. It was my wife noticeably upset saying the dog was run over by a car and she was on route to a 24 hour veterinary hospital. I was in my truck and cruising and almost beat her to the vets. Between the tire marks across her mid section, the lacerations to her head and back legs, and the dried blood she was not looking good at all. After about an hour the doctor showed us the xrays and even he was surprised that she suffered no broken bones or any visible internal injuries. I will pick her up in the morning and take her to our regular vet as she will need some miner surgery before coming home. I just thank god that today was not our day to say good bye.
