antpowerToday my dog got hit by a car. It was incredibly horrific. We were at the park, which is a dog park and all fenced in with a creek and lots of space to run around, when she suddenly vanished. I was looking around everywhere for her and this man put his head over the bridge and said "are you looking for a dog, because I just ran over one". She had squeezed through a gap in the fence and onto a really busy road. There was lots of blood and it was horrible and I was a little bit hysterical. The man kept saying she was dead and I said she wasn't because she was moving and he said it was just her nerves, but she was breathing, so she totally wasn't dead.
Anyway, so I wrapped her up in my hoodie and the man drove us to the emergency vet clinic. He had like a refrigerator truck, so it was very hard to get into it while carrying the dog. She seemed okay in the car, just a bit stunned but she was looking around and stuff, it's just that there was so much blood. The man was a very nice man, he kept apologising. So, I waited at the vet and this nice lady told me stories about her cat to distract me and then the vet came out and said that she (my dog, not the cat lady) had head trauma and was hemorrhaging from the tongue but she would probably be okay.
Then the man who had hit her came back to the vet to see if she was okay and he'd bought me a can of lemonade! What a nice man! I think I should send him a card or something. My sister left work to come to the vet but then the vet said I could go home, so my sister met me anyway because I had no money to get home, on account of I'd been walking the dog. While I was going to meet her, the vet called to say that my dog was responding really well and there shouldn't be any problem with her.
So, it all turned out mostly okay (except for the vet bills), but I feel very traumatised and like I don't deserve to be a dog owner. There was really a lot of blood. But luckily she will be fine, and I met some really nice people. I was going to update with the 30 day Arashi meme thing, but instead I think I will sleep until my dog comes home. It's very lonesome without her.
