Poor Little Sarah

Doesn't poor Sarah look pathetic. She hurt herself again and we are not sure how she is doing it.

On Sunday Art Jason and I drove up to Shelly Idaho with Lynlee and Steph to see my 92yr Grandma who isn't doing too great. Justin couldn't go because he had to work and it was a good thing because we got a call when we were getting ready to leave Idaho to come home from Justin who just got home from work and was hysterical because Sarah looked like she had been "skinned"

She must have got herself caught on a screw or nail somewhere and pulled herself free making a LARGE horseshoe shape gash in her side that basically looked like a 5x5' square with a flap of skin hanging off. ( I didn't take a photo of the actual wound, it was really gross) We have no idea where this happened, but this is the only idea we can come up with.

So we are 3 1/2hrs away and poor Justin doesn't know what to do for her so I called my neighbor and he spend 3 hrs at the Animal hospital with him and Sarah last night since we couldn't be there. Thank you Lance for being there when we needed you!!

Because they quoted 1500.00 to fix her, we opted for them to clean her up and we took her to our vet today.

They were able to stitch her up for us but as you can see the Dr does NOT have a future doing plastic surgery!!!

Bottom line is she is going to be fine, but with a 400.00 hospital visit and then another 400.00 at the vet today to stitch her up, this was a VERY expensive injury. With our trip coming up in 4 weeks it was not what we needed.

But again, she is going to be fine and that is what is important.......right! I told her that now that I knew that I was REALLY REALLY mad at her! She is such a diva.
