About a month ago, Sam took the dog out on a leash, in the dark, to go to the bathroom.....Next thing I heard was a lot of yelping and yelling from Diesel and Sam. As I ran out of the house, Sam was running across the yard sobbing, holding a crying Diesel, who had an obvious broken leg. Trying to remain calm myself I held Diesel's leg together and held him against me as I tried to figure out how to handle the situation. Aunt Rachel to the rescue! I text her and asked her to find an emergency vet (this all happened at 9pm) At one point, Sam, Jake and Ty, as well as Diesel and Jett (another puppy in the house) were all crying at the same time in the kitchen. Asking Sam to collect himself because I needed his help, I tried to engage him in medical conversation to help him focus. Eventually we came up with splinting with legos, it turned out great! Emergency vet didn't even charge - they said we stabilized the break excellently and just needed to add another inch. He is still trying to heal - it is going to be a long healing process for him. All bones were broken at an angle in his leg. He has been such a trooper!!! The vet has been wonderful and very kind to us.
