Miniature Pinscher - Small - Baby - Male - Dog - FIGHTER 4 LIFE

* { font:inherit; } April 8th was a beautiful warm day, perfect for running and playing outside in the HUGE back yard, right? I was running a 100 miles an hour chasing my siblings when this darn pole jumped out at me, out of nowhere, wham, head on collision. Mom was standing right there when it happened and that’s the last thing I can remember, running into this pole that would not budge. Mom says I laid on the ground lifeless, she ran over to me, called the Emergency Vet, scooped me up and drove 90 miles an hour to get me to the vet clinic. Later Mom told me that my siblings had fun with her cell phone that she had left on the ground, lol. Doc Eva looked me over very carefully and said I bruised my brain, I impacted that pole with my eyeball (ouch). She said only time would tell if I'd make a full recovery but it wasn’t looking good. I remember in the back of my mind somewhere hearing them discussing euthanasia, WELL HELLO, I’m still in here I can hear you I just can’t move. Mom bundled me back up and took me home, armed with IV fluids, pain killers, steroids and you name it. She made me a soft cozy bed in her bed room and watched over me for the next two days ( yup she looked tired...not to mention what the stress done to her). April 10th; Mom took me back to the nice Vet lady, they took x rays of my neck ( how cool) and ya know what? I fractured my neck. I can lift my head now but only to the left side. They upped my steroids to try and take the swelling in my brain down and decided to give me a couple more days to see if I’ll improve ( I was in a lot of pain and mom could tell). April 12th; I can eat canned food now from a spoon and I can lift my head to both sides but I still cannot get up or stand on my legs. I can wag my tail now though lol . My right eye is cloudy and I can’t see out of it. April 14; I can pull myself up and almost sit up to eat, wow huh? Yup I have a lot of will to live…mom feels so guilty cause I got hurt, it wasn’t her fault but you can’t tell her that….so I made up my mind I’m gona try to make a full recovery so she stops feeling guilty ;-) April 15th; Well hello beautiful world, I can pull myself up on my legs, wobbly but hey I can get up on my own legs now. When Mom put the food down on the floor to straighten out my blankets, well hey I’m hungry so I pulled myself up to try and get to my food. Doc Eva looked me over again and was amazed at the progress I made ( hehe). I still can’t see out of my right eye and I have no feeling in the right side of my face. Oh yeh, that sharp puppy tooth of mine keeps getting stuck in my cheek. I can’t feel it but I can tell by moms face when she pulls it out of my cheek that it must not look good, oh well at least I can’t feel it. April 20th; look @ me now! I AM standing on my own 4 feet and I'm pretty good at it 2. I can hold my balance for quite sometime now and I am even taking steps. That right eye of mine is still not any better but hey one step at a time, right?April 24th; Well bummer, my eye is not getting any better and is infected, swollen, ulcerated........Doc Eva has me scheduled for surgery first thing Monday morning. Surgery, I wonder what that is, tell you what I'll let you all know Monday what this 'surgery is' they are talking about, ok?April 25th: Look at my new playpen, cool huh? I'm much more active now so mom padded the sides with blankets incase I loose my balance and fall over. April 27th; Well, I promised to let you all know what this surgery is but ya know what? I can’t!!!!!!!! You see when mom took me to Doc Eva this morning she looked at my eye and said it was healing, YES it’s healing. Amazing is what they said……..I tried to tell them that it’s all the positive energy and all the prayers that are being send to me but you know humans, they can’t hear us………….Mom has to continue to put those eye drops in and some other eye drops with steroids 2 ( hehe, I’ll give her a hard time wiggling and twisting my head every time she has to put them in lol) Anyhow, THANK YOU soooooooooooo much for all your support, keep those prayers and positive energy coming, ok? That’s my progress for now, please check back as I will update my page with any news, ok? Oh and hey, my Vet bills are through the roof ( emergency fee, x rays, pain meds, follow up visits, IV therapy, etc.) and there is no money in Rescue. Mom not once considered the cost for my care, all she thought about was getting me better ( and trust me I am sooooooo grateful she did not give up on me) but now there is the bill that needs to be paid. If you can help us out with any amount towards this huge bill I would be ever so grateful, any amount will help, trust me no amount is to little ( it all adds up ya know) so if you can chip in you can mail a payment directly to: Court Street Vet 618 Court Street Clay center, KS 67432 785-632-3555 In the memo line please put for ‘Cloud’ ( that’s my name) Or you can even call and make a donation by credit card over the phone ;-) Incase you want to mail me something ( oh toys or treats or a soft bed, really what ever lol ) you can send it here: Home for Disposable Pets c/o Cloud 612 West Walnut Riley, KS. 66531 And, as if this accident wasn't bad enough, the worse part is that my siblings and me are all black puppies and black dogs always get overlooked, bah…WHY? I mean, COME ON, it’s what’s in our hearts that counts, not the color of our fur, right? So would you please give it a second thought and look at my siblings who are all just as adorable as me and are also looking for a family of their own. We are at the perfect age right now to join your family and learn how to be wonderful family companions. AND, if you are that very special person who can see past my color and would like to add me to your family after I make a full recovery let me know, ok? You already know I have a huge will power and my heart is even bigger. Fighter for Life! CLOUD
