Barry took Edwards for a walk this afternoon knowing he would be leaving him in his crate when he went to the evening service in North Chittenden. On this walk Edwards managed to rip a gash in his head and proceeded to bleed all the way home. I did get the call in the ER! Holding pressure did not seem to be an option for Barry as it just seemed to keep bleeding. So he piled the dog into the back seat of his car, which by the way now looks like a crime scene, and came to the ER. Miraculously, my friend, Linda happened by at the exact moment I was heading out to clean him off and see what we were dealing with. The PA in Fast Track had told me the best option was probably going to be staples and so that was what Linda and I did. I held Edwards head once we got him cleaned up and Linda stapled him back together! Thank you, Linda!
I think we did about 8 staples in all. He was probably just going for the sympathy factor at dog school tomorrow night!

It never hurts to have a healthcare professional in the family. Hope Edwards gets on the mend quickly.
New beginnings perhaps, same old post though.
