Belle

Well, after Belle's stint in the county jail Bo put pieces of busted up concrete in the holes in the fence. He thought he had it all done, then we found one spot that needed more concrete. Belle snuck out before we could fill that hole. She got hit on the interstate and amazingly she survived! She's got a dislocated hip and an air pocket beneath her lungs and heart. She also has a few scrapes and lacerations that received a few staples. We just can't beleive she survived! She spent the night on the side of the interstate before we found her. The vet put her hip back in place, but is worried that it might not stay because it was out for so long that the tendons might have stretched too much to hold it in the proper place. So her leg is tied up and she's not supposed to walk unassisted for 7-10 days. How in the world are we supposed to keep this border collie down for that amount of time?! We are borrowing a cage from a friend and that will have to be her new home. She's already trying to hobble around on 3 legs. I took her outside this morning and laid her by the horse so she could eat with him. We are thankful that she's alive and are praying for a speedy, uneventful recovery!
