At lunchtime today I went to collect the gazette from the wall, just along from our house. Wilma stopped in our drive, but when I checked that the village nuisance dog was not about I signalled for her to come with me for the few yards.
Unfortunately the nuisance dog in question was laying hidden from us, so as we passed it bolted, strtled Wilma who ran after it, over the road. I shouted Wilma and she returned, faithful as she is, running towards me....at the same time as a car, not doing 30 mph sped into view, hurtling Wilma a few feet up the road.
Her cries were blood curdling and so so obvious an indication of her pain, shock and anguish.
We lifted her into the back of the van and sped off to the vets, where she remains.
Sedated, on a drip and having helpful drugs administered.
She needs our thoughts right now, so much appreciated.
Poor Wilma I hope she is feeling much better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh poor girl, thankfully she is under the care of the professionals. You must be so worried. My family and my dogs will be thinking of her and wishing her well. Kath x
