Diego

We have had a very emotional couple of days. Wednesday night we let Diego inside while wewere doing yard work. Well when we finished we let him out about 8:40 or so. When Tim went out at 9:50, he realized we had accidentally left the gate open and Diego had gotten out. Tim, Mike & Anthony searched and searched and couldn't find him. Well after about an hour or so of searching (and knocking on the door of the individual that had him when he was missing in May), Anthony happened to spot him laying in the ditch. He had been viciously attacked by another dog and was bleeding terribly. Anthony grabbed him up and brought him home. He & Mike ended up taking him to the ER @ the vet's office because Tim had to go to work. So after Ham checked him out, he didn't have any significant damage to any organs, and no broken bones, but he was pretty chewed up. He spent 2 nights at the vet, and I just picked him up this afternoon. He has one drain tube in, and he goes back next Friday for a re-check. When the nurse handed him to me, he laid his head over on my shoulder :( it just broke my heart. But he is now home and in his crate, to keep him from getting into anything and anyone from bothering him. As you can see, he wouldn't lift his head for a picture. When Spencer got home, he just sat by his crate looking at him and talking to him.


His spirits are getting a little higher, but all he has been doing is laying around.
I will keep you posted!
