Road Rash

Single Girl here!

I'm posting for Stella Puppy today as she got hit by a car last night. No worries, she's ok...she's just not in the mood for posting.

We all know how Stella Puppy likes to go on her sniff adventures; well, that's what got her in trouble last night. We were on our way in "going potty" when she decided to take off. Why? Only she knows. I saw her go North and ran inside to get my coat. I walked a block North with no sign of her. As I turned around, I noticed her back by the house...the little stinker had turned around while I was inside and hid somewhere. I called her but she just kept trottin' down the sidewalk. She then disappeared out of sight.

The next thing I hear is a girl yelling, "Stop your truck! Someone just hit a dog!" Two super nice high school girls starting running onto the main hwy to stop the traffic (that had a green light) and pick Stella Puppy up out of the crosswalk.

As I'm walking, I see Stella Puppy laying on her back not moving. I thought she was gone. Thanks to the powers that be, she was just knocked out. The girls helped me get her back to the house.

After help from friends and calls to a vet, we made the decision that Stella Puppy did not need to see a vet last night. She was walking ok, had a cookie treat and was drinking.

I got her in to a vet today. The results... a tooth will need to be pulled. That's it. Wow is she lucky! She got out of this accident with a broken tooth, a huge bloody lip and a scraped face.

Thanks to everyone who helped and for all of the well wishers on FB. We both thank you all for your kindness.

Let's hope that she'll remember to next time push the walk button before trying to cross.
