So, I bring my dog to work every day. I run equipment, backhoes, bulldozers, Brazillians, you know... this morning Im backing down the access road with a bucket full of gravel, and hear my 6 yr old Lab Zoe yelp. Shes been with me every day since she was 6 weeks old, with the exception of 7 months in Bosnia a few years back. Im not sure what happened, shes always very aware, I think she was walking behind the machine, and just was a little too slow. Anyway, my runner showed up right when it happened, so i put her the truck and sent her to the vet, shes Ok, just a big ass bruise, and a real close call. the day got worse from there. I dont know what the hell Id do without her. |

On the bright side, Dogs that got a smacking from vehicles tend to never go near them again. We were blessed with a golden retriever that took a bumper-punch in the head and he never went near the road again. Our new golden can't be let off the damn leash, nevertheless be trusted outside for a second. Consider yourself doubly-lucky  - BUCC_Guy |
