Just in case you thought it might be getting boring around this place, or that I might be looking for more things to do with my time... Louis decided to spice things up and break his leg!
My puppy broke. And the crazy thing is, is that this isn't the first one!!! Luckily Fossey is over her injury, so I now have to figure out how to keep a 12 week old crazy, hyper puppy contained for weeks.
He spent the night at the vet, so was gone home for two days. While he was away, his ears started to go pointy!! So weird. Everyone else still has their floppy ears.
So thirsty after two days at the vet clinic! This is just as we got home.
It's interesting watching him adapt to the cast, he's sure not letting it get in the way. All he wanted to do was get over to his momma and PLAY!!!
Wheeee!!! I can run again!!!
Lookit me go!
Oof! Ok, so he's not an expert yet. That thing is HEAVY!
He's being a tough little guy though.
How on earth did he break BOTH his radius and ulna you ask?? Well, my stupid klutziness is a contributing factor. In the freakiest, weirdest accident I've ever seen or been a part of - I was carrying a bucket with a bit of water in it, managed to trip... bucket went flying across the yard, and tumbled into Louis. He was SCREAMING and I thought being overly dramatic... till I looked at his leg. It was bent where it shouldn't have been bent.
And there ya go. I broke my puppy. I feel so horribly bad about it that this dog is going to OWN me. Forever. I am at his beck and call right now. Cookies? SURE!!! Fish? SURE!!! Special trip to town for wet food? SURE!! Jump in circles while patting my head and rubbing my belly? SURE!! Anything for you Louis!!
Whattaya mean I can't play with them?!?!?!
Mummy!
Sniffing the grass, almost forgetting he has an extra long, heavy, immobile appendage!
And here's a few seconds of him trying this thing out on Day 1. Only a month or more to go... *sigh*
Did I mention I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER having another litter? EVER???

OMG Staci, find a good book and read bedtime stories to them lol. It's amazing how they adapt though isn't it, and work it for all it's worth. Did PB react to him at all? She is such an intense mom that the screaming must have really got her worked up. Get that neutering date lined up and booked as soon as possible before you completely lose your sanity. Hmmm, sounds like I'm insinuating that you've lost a bit of it already. Good luck and stay safe.
PB wasn't too interested, except for the usual "you've been gone and now you smell different" thing when he returned. The other pups were all over him briefly too.
Oh I just re-read that, you meant when he got hurt - not really. She is used to them being noisy, but was a bit concerned when the noise didn't stop as quick as it usually does!

He's not loving life being immobile!
Aren't you glad they don't get chicken pox !!
I saw this in my "following" feed but haven't had a chance to click until today. Poor litle guy, he looks so funny with that leg and his pointy ears.
Cracking up over him owning you now. I know how that goes!
That is so sad, but at least your doing every good thing for your puppy. Good job!
