Bopo vs. A Car

Remember a few posts ago i said that maybe something exciting will happen ... well i didn't expect anything like last night to happen. 

This is Bopo.  Bopo is my mom's dog.  Bopo likes to run out the house when she wants to frolic in the street.  Last night Bopo was one lucky dog.

As i was getting ready to go out and see a friend of mine play i get a phone call from my mom ...

"heidi ... was is the number that's on Bopo's tag?"
"umm ... my number ..."
"okay ... well if you get a phone call from someone saying they have Bopo, let me know"

As you've probably guessed ... Bopo got out of the house and no one could find her.  To make a long story short ... Bopo got hit by a car and broke her leg.  off to the animal er we go ... they pissed me off.  Hello!!!  My dog got hit by a car ... is bleeding ... and looks like there is a bone hanging out. 

Why did you wait 15 mins before you decided to register my dog???
Why is there only one vet?
Where is your technician so that they can go ahead and take my dog to xrays???
Why is the dog's condition next door more critical than my dog's???
Where is the vet???
Where is your technician???
HELLOOOOO WHY ARE WE NOT BEING TREATED?!?!?!

I had to tell my mom that i had to leave or it would have gotten really ugly.  I have heard horror stories about the ER that we went to and boy to see it first hand was scary.  All i kept thinking was what if my dog has internal bleeding?  Why are they taking so long?  This place does not know how to multi task.  My mom did not leave that place til 130 ... almost 4 hrs after we got there.  Wow ... i don't think they know how to determine what is critical or not. 

So the diagnosis ... yep she definitely broke her leg and will need to have surgery so that it will heal right.

Today that's what we did and it's going to cost us $1200 :c/  All i know is that is one lucky dog.  Things could have been worse and i'm glad that it's not.  Hopefully Bopo has learned from this will realize how dangerous the street can be and will stay inside.  Oh and where did we find her ... the whole time after she got hit she managed to get back in the house and hang out in the living room.  I hope that i never have to go through anything like that with Snowflake ... she's like to frolic in the street too :c/
