What a month...

April is just getting crazier by the day.

Yesterday Luke(the golden Retriever) and Harley(the Rottweiler) got in a huge dog fight. Luke started it, but Harley won... Big time.

Luke had 3 huge teeth puncture wounds on his right front leg. He was pouring out blood all over the place, we stopped the bleeding, and bandaged him all up (to keep the bleeding stopped). We then had to take the bandage off a few hours later and check it out to decide from there what to do. The incisions were quite deep and we figured he would have to get stitches. So we cleaned them, and left them cleaned and opened for the night as his leg was quite swollen.

We called the vet first thing this morning to have him go in. He may need surgery down the road, but for right now all is fine. He did have to have 4 staples on one bite, and the others are deep but not deep enough for staples. Poor guy. He is on Antibiotics, and Anti inflammatory. He is sleeping right now. He goes in on the 22nd to have the staples out, be checked out (we have to call right away if the swelling gets worse) and take him in.

We have to keep him quiet for 2 weeks.. That should be interesting. It has been no problem so far as he really isn't feeling good. He was quite mad that we weren't going for a longer car ride so he can't be feeling TOO bad : )

Star and River keep going up to him to make sure he is okay. And stealing the cheese we gave to him to put his pills in. (or trying too). They kept getting their own pieces. Every time we would stop giving them pieces they would start hitting us with their paws.. It was quite cute.. but got annoying lol! ;)

Cowboy and Fantasy's litter is doing good. They are getting very cute. Well that is all that is new around here... Quite a few of the Jerseys I put up for sale are pending. And 2 Mini lops we hadn't planned on selling but will be an excellent start to someone in GA will be shipped out over the next few weeks.

We have to keep a close eye on Luke, so today we have to go to the Accountant I think? With our Uncle for a few things, and then we have someone coming between 3:30-4 to look at Jerseys. Otherwise we will have to be at home monitoring him :- )
