tell ya what, i feel so bad. my dog got ingerned last night, and it was my fault. my little dog pepper came in the house last night and she was bleeding, and was limping. my wife had let her out to do her thing , there was a wild cat on the porch, and she does not like that cat. it was dropped off at our place, some stupid person i guess didnt want it any more. peaple like that just makes me sick. any way ,i looked her over and there was a gash in her chest. i was realy bad. i couldnt take her to the vet because it was so late. i stayed up with her all night, i took her to the vet this morning, she had to have a lot of stitches. i told the vet that a cat had clawed her, the vet told me that it would have to be a awfull big cat to do this to her. i left her in the hands of the vet. she called me back and said i couled pick her up at know. it was so pitifull to see her, she was still very droggy, the vet said she would be like that for a few hours. i took her home and laid her on her little custion, but she kept falowing me every where i went in the house, she was very wobley. she is my lap dog. she finally laid down by indian. i told indian i was going to go out and find that cat, i had it in my mind that i was going to kill it, but in my own mind i knew i couldnt do it, but i was going to try. i traceced where indian said she had chased the cat.i noticed that the door going into the back of my house was open, and there was a long stick that i had propped the door closed was laying on the ground. i picked it up and found some hair and blood on it. there was a sharp limb about an inch long on it. it was where i had cut it from a tree from the ice storm we had a few weeks ago. i put it all together in my mind, and what had happened ,,when pepper shased the cat around the corner of the house. she ran into the damn stick and was stabbed buy it. i have felt so bad allday. pepper is doing real good know. she is eatingice chips as that is what the vet said to gve her. i got on the blogs and just talking to all of you has made me feel so mutch better.blog freinds are good medicine. pepper is ok, and so is the wild cat. going to keep feeding her,im shure it will calm down someday. indian dont like the cat eather. it atacked her one day. but she said she would keep her distance from it......we will see. ~~~~~~~~cowboy.
