Author Topic: small accident earthwalker Cultural Editor & middleweight arm wrestling champion/Intermountain Region Member # 4177 posted May 20, 2021 04:00 AM                   It happened over a week ago while out riding in the UTV. Going up a real steep hillside. Almost to the top and the dog either jumped off or fell off. Got to the top and rushed back to him. He hurt his right hind leg. Got him into a vet on Monday. No broken bones. But he has packed it and when he puts weight on it at the ankle it bends backwards. This past Monday took him to another vet and they sedated him (He's a real grumpy old dog) the vet worked on the hind leg said it wasn't broken but probably had pulled, stretched maybe torn ligaments and tendons. He's now in a cast up over the hock. We'll go back in another week take the cast off and check the leg and skin and probably put him back in a cast until he heals up. The cast has helped greatly he can get around with little to no pain. His biggest problem is learning to walk with the cast and to use his left leg more than the right one. He's 8 years old and doesn't like to be man handled so it's always a fight that is why we have our own muzzle for him. I'm doing a lot of dog sitting with him. Need to wrap the cast this morning for his morning potty, we finally got some rain over night. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Dave Allen Hi, I'm SUPER DAVE, IN CHARGE OF Q STUFF (and Goat Leader) "I'm really not trying to be a dick". Member # 3102 posted May 20, 2021 06:59 AM                   Sorry to hear about that. I hope he heals well. My dog Sadie will jump out of my pickup so she has to ride in the cab. Spoiled girl !! 27 @ 7am this morning in JV brrrr. Went for a drive out to pleasant valley last night. I forgot how pleasant it is out there.

Very strong and muscular and fast. She a little claustrophobic. Definitely knows who the pack leader is, not independent. I've never had a dog that received more unsolicited compliments. She's a friggin' beauty queen, for sure. I'm sure I could show her, one of her litter mates won a puppy class at one of the dog shows, and Tillie was pick of the litter. She really does draw a crowd. They don't know what she is, but they know she's "something"? I take it back, every once in a while somebody knows a Blue Tick Hound when they see one! Good hunting. El Bee PS yeah, I know she's spoiled rotten.... -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

He's moves like water and fast. The UPS driver and him are now on speaking terms as long as she has a couple biscuits for him. Then he'll race her to the corner of the road. He's jumping off the porch when he wants too or tries to jump in the truck. He's a well muscled pretty dog especially when he gets his summer coat. He's called a Black Mouth Cur. 77 lbs but the middle age spread is starting to show. Try to keep him in shape and the weight down. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Paul Melching Radical Operator Forum "You won't get past the front gate" Member # 885 posted May 21, 2021 05:08 AM                   Hope ol Gus is fine soon ! -------------------- Those who value security over liberty soon will have neither !

And, she makes sure to let me know that somebody has pushed the doorbell. Pinky helps, too! Dogs are a joy and dogs tie you down and they are expensive. So what? Hope Gus is feeling better! PS jumping out of a pick up is one thing, but my kid and his butt buddy friend were joy riding with Red in the back of the pick up when he made a sharp turn and slung Red across the bed and flipped her out. She just laid there. So, it was only a block away and I went and got her and took her to the vet. Broke her hip, and back then, $600 was a lot of money, but he sawed off the ball joint and reattached some muscles so she could walk but couldn't swim and years later, when she slipped and fell in the pool, she drowned. Caused me to not have a dog for 20 years. Now, Tillie shits in the exact same place in the yard. -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Had to go get him his dog biscuit to settle him down. I've got way to many new trees, bushes, raspberries, blackberries to have a single goat on the place. I know what goats can do and what they eat. You keep your goats Dave. Always wanted a goat or two on the lookouts to eat the brush and keep the fire danger down. LOL Never did do it. Bad enough with 4 and 3 dogs at a time. -------------------- another long hot smoky summer coming Posts: 1105 | From: Intermountain region | Registered: Jul 2012  |  IP: Logged Leonard HMFIC Member # 2 posted May 22, 2021 06:42 AM                       We here stand for goat equity! I don't really know what they can do, but they are pleasant critters. They don't bite, do they? Don't they treat us as equals? Dave, if you have an extra, I think EW could use one. Good hunting.

Member # 3102 posted May 24, 2021 06:44 AM                   Had a doe in the yard yesterday. I think she thought the goats were fawns and I think the goats thought she was a giant goat !! EW wow 11 summers on south mountain. If not for some tall willow tress blocking my view I would be able to see it from my backyard.

You need to carefully monitor Goat/Doe interactions, as well as Doe/Goat interactions, sort of a visa-versa situation. Anyway, get right on it! This could be important!
