Prayers Needed Please

Everyone please say a prayer for our little puppy Bean. She's 4 years old - thinks she's a big old dog - was running outside today and broke her left hind leg. I'm sure you've all seen pics of her. She's adorable but a character. Thanks all - love you.

Oh no, not Bean :cry: Hope she is well soon.

You have them from me and from my collie, Blue! Best wishes

Thanks Lisa and Pastor. Ironically, I was outside watching her run around and heard a yelp and then she fell over onto her left side. I don't know if it's just me, but that yelp hurt me as much as my kids' crying does. I ran over, picked her up and wouldn't let anyone near her while we took her to the animal hospital. When we got home, no one was allowed to go near her - I had her bundled up in her blanket in my bed. Am I crazy to act like this over a dog? I don't think so but hubby thinks I'm a "bit" touched. :lol:

For the record, I think the best people in life are "A bit touched" :lol:

Just gotta ask, how in the world did she break her leg running around? I am glad it was a broken leg if it had to be anything. That will heal pretty quickly....give her a peck on the nose from me please :up:

We don't know how she did it Kenny. She has pretty skinny legs - vet thinks maybe she ran into something - a piece of wood or a piece of concrete or maybe slid on a patch of ice in the backyard. She loves it out there, but since the last snow, it's been pretty cold and the backyard has patches of ice scattered around. Chris put some ice melt out there, but I don't think he was able to get it all. Peck on the nose delivered :up:

You may be touched, who knows! :tongue2: but your care for your dog surely isn't proof of it to me!

No, you're not touched, you're special Mary and very caring.
Hope all turns out well.

Like I said before, the only pets I have are fish, but I babysit my daughters pit bull and my sons dogs run in and out all the time. :yes:

Awwww Miss Mary, that is a shame. She will be in my matins for the day.

Thanks Kev. She's not been feeling very happy about it, but it's amazing to see her hop around on 3 legs.

NM I read the other post.

My Jasper got his leg caught in a closing door when he was about 2 years old. They are totally resiliant, and he was in a cast for about 5 or 6 weeks and then was a good as gold when it came off. Was bounding around all over the place.....

:sad:

I miss him :cry:

I know you miss him. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to Bean. The vet said she was more than capable of walking around on the cast, but it's like she's scared to put her foot down, plus the cast is such a foreign body to her, and remember, she's only 15 pounds.

Chorizo bit Rusty on the foot, causing a flesh wound that could only be replicated with a mosquito's bite. Rusty acted like he was crippled for life, limping and crying when I first got home. (My wife witnessed the altercation, that's how I know the skinny) A little antibacterial creme and he was good as new.

Jasper did that for a few days and then was perfectly fine. She'll be okay just give her a week or so.

:chuckle: I once taped pennies to the bottom of a cat's feet. Good times, it was like watching a tap dance from hell.

Look at that poor kitty. :no: That's animal cruelty.

I defend Marty's honor to the fullest! Seriously though, Megs (my youngest) has on occasion put a dog biscuit on the top of Bean's collar and watched her chase her tail looking for the biscuit. We always tell her it's animal cruelty and she gets punished and promises not to do it again. I don't think she means harm by doing it and she loves her "beanie baby" but kids will be kids sometimes, like this girl in the video looked like. Now if she grew into an adult (or even now) and began kicking and beating Bean, I'd be very concerned. I know that she doesn't mean harm to the doggy.

The was a quote the other night on the PBS show "Nature". "Dogs have families, cats have staffs!"

Based on my family's experiances I would say that just about nails it!

Here's a pic of Bean this morning sitting next to me on "our" chair. She seems to be feeling much better and is actually walking on the leg now.

Behind that innocent face is the heart of a world class rat hunter. You catch that Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie? It was outstanding, even though there was only a cameo from a dachshund.

The only reason I saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua was because of Bean. She keeps me company every day, sitting next to me in the chair. I think she thinks she's people instead of a dog - she's a sweetheart. She's pretty upset though that she hasn't been able to have her weekly bath and perfume treatment. She gets her nails clipped, her ears cleaned, bath, perfume and a bow or bandana for $20. The groomer always tells me one day she's going to keep Bean. When I drop her off, everyone shouts out "Bean's here" they love her so much.
