Thread: Dog with a bloody head

I bet that was upsetting for you. I hate the dogs getting around the car when I come in the yard (we have 4). I hope she is going to be fine. Is she kelpie cattle cross?

OOOH! Bugger!

ouch

Animals and autos don't mix.

I was working on tuning my car engine (in the 70's) and had a beautiful Golden Lab. During this process ,on this bright hot sunny day, I was turning the engine on and off trying to get it right (I am handy but no mechanic).

This dog followed me everywhere, and as I was finishing up my tune up

I decided to take the car for a spin. but did not notice the dog had rested under the back wheels (out of the hot sun), and with the continous on and off of the ignition, she paid no heed to the noise.

Needless to say I ran her over and killed her!

This could have been one of my children just as easy,
I do sympathize and understand, I am just glad there is a bright side to your story,
Sally has a second chance.

Hope all goes well for Sally.

Have a great day
John

Aww geez DJ, I know you are going to be upset over this. At least she is still with us and is going to be more careful around cars in future (maybe).

Thanks guys, she's looking a bit sore and tired now, but she still wanted and had the scraps left over from dinner so she is eating, always been a greedy guts compared to my other dogs, present and past.

Donna, she is a bit of everything, her Grandma was a Border Collie who was serviced by a red kelpie cross heeler which got her mum that looked like a black kelpie crossed heeler and from what we can work out she was serviced by a boxer that use to live up the road. I actually watch her litter being born even thought I didn't get her till she was a year old as the family who originally took her couldn't keep up with her and she was destroying the backyard as it was just your normal average suburban yard. There is another picture of her here in this post.

You have about as much room on your couch as we do. Rottys dont leave a lot of space. Will have to find some pics of mine and put them up.

Oh Geez! I'm so afraid my jack russle will do that some time. Only when I'm in a hurry some where and not taking her. I like her lying style in the first "other"pic.

Strewth Dj,

That has me wincing, but she'd know it was an accident. And she'd love you now no less than she did before.

Hopefully she has a speedy recovery.

Hopefully she will be up and about chasing sticks and tennis balls again. Tell her we are thinking of her DJ.

ouch, sorry to hear that DJ

Hi DJ, am thinking of you and Sally this morning. I figure you'll either be at the Vets or close to it right about now.

cheers
Wendy

Just saw this post. Ouch!!

I guess the good thing is it looks like sal is Ok.

Sorry to hear about that DJ. I know we worry about our pooch around cars all the time and she is now deaf and almost blind.
