Thanks everybody, Terri and I are great and 100% and Rowdy is 90% hobbling around on 3.5 legs, she's got maybe 30-40% use of her front right leg, it makes me sad that she has to walk and hop to get around on three legs, but everyday day she'll get better, we took her on the boat this past Sunday and she loved it, anything to put a smile on her and Terri's faces.

Thank god the "back" of the car only hit her and didn't run over her or it might have been really bad, anyway, her front right and paw got injured and she couldn't walk for 4-5 days, so I've had to carry her everywhere to go potty and eat and most everything else, she's been back to our VET twice, they checked her nerves and tendons and they keep telling us that it's just going to take time, that she's just really bruised, scared the crap out of both of us.

She's getting better and finally using her leg some now, it's been ten days now and at least we can finally see some improvement, I took her in the pool the other day for some hydro therapy and she loved it, she's been on steroids to help her heal quicker, we've got our fingers crossed that she makes a 100% recovery, time will tell, but she's on her way at least and we've settled down about it now.

I'm hoping we've both learned from it, me to keep a tighter hold on her and her not to chase cars, we've only had her 3 months now, but we wouldn't know what it's like not to have her around, Terri and I love her to death, it's a great year already because she's gonna be OK.

Happy to hear your Rowdy is on the road to recovery and welcome back!
