read Dan's blog entry about his Chiquita the other day.
I was so heartbroken and commented on his entry saying, "I can't imagine how devastated I would feel if anything happened to my Jaky..." and did not knock on wood! (very important, I learnt)
on Sunday, Jaky jumped off my arms and broke his leg.
He never barks or cries, but must have hurt him sooooo bad that he cried in pain and panicked! Even bit my thumb by accident. I didn't realize for awhile that I was bleeding pretty bad.
He went under surgery last night and has two plates and four screws in his leg to keep the bones stabilized...
I won't be able to see him for about 2 weeks...if I go see him, then he'd think I came to pick him up...
I'm so worried about him..
I don't want to show this pic to the public, but it is a reminder for all you folks who have small dogs. They have weak bones and can break easily despite the height (even by a fall just 10cm high).
I took him home on Sunday night after taking him to two vets.
The first one I took him to, which was near my studio where the accidet happened, wasn't a good hospital. The doc sounded cold and told me she's gonna let him stay like that until the surgery which would take place the next day.
I called my usual doc and got introduced to a bigger hospital. They were much kinder. I took him there and they told me I can bring him home for one night after casting his leg.
So there he is, in pain at home...I felt so bad and worried, I cried and cried...
my baby boy was a trotter. he trotted so cutely...I wonder if he'll be able to walk in his unique own way again. I wonder if he's gonna remember all the tricks I taught him. But moreover, I wonder if he feels very lonely. Does he think I left him? Does he know I think about him every second? Does he know he's loved dearly?
I recieved a call at 2 am last night. The operation went well and he's in recovery.
Accordingly, he even got his thing "fixed" and had a tooth removed...
poor boy, he's probably be like, "WTF??"
I'm just counting down til the day I see him...
