Hey Halie,
Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Just wanted to keep you up to date with how Sunny and Maggie are doing. They were both doing great until Maggie had a little accident while in my care for the holiday weekend. I had gone to the gym for an hour an upon my return both of the girls were excited to see me. Naturally, I picked them both up giving them hugs and them giving me kisses. Sunny and Maggie are pros at jumping on and off of couches and beds. Especially that little Maggie. With her long legs she just glides on and off of furniture. I was heading into my bedroom and they decided to jump off the back of my loveseat to join me in my room. It was then I heard Maggie screaming to the top of her little lungs. I noticed her holding her right leg up and I thought maybe she had hurt one of her nails. However, once I picked her up I realized she had broken her leg. It was pretty disgusting, I cannot lie. I ran out to the car with her and off to the emergency vet we sped. I called Susan to tell her what had happened to the baby. She came back from her weekend camping trip and met me there. Maggie was sedated while x-rays were done to see what the damage was. She had broken her tibia and her ulna in two. She was able to return home yesterday afternoon with a lamp shade on her head, a cast on her leg and some good ole doggy morphine. Susan is taking her back to the vet tomorrow morning to see the orthopedic surgeon. Yep, the poor little girl has to have surgery on her leg. My lord, what a freak accident. We will keep you posted on her progress. She is walking a little bit w/ her cast but it is not easy. Needless to say her and Sunny will not be able to run around and play for a little while :( Sunny was very sad when I broke the news to her. Attached are a few pictures of Maggie after her visit yesterday. If you notice she is still doped up from the sedation. Please keep little Maggie in your thoughts and prayers.
Hope Little
