Chicken Canoe..I am so very sorry about your pup! That is a terrible thing. Poor dog, your poor wife (who I'm sure is beating herself up and feeling awful, probably more so than your dog who is hopefully on some good strong pain meds) and poor you!

I hope your baby has a smooth recovery without breaking the bank. What an awful accident. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts....

Thanks. Times sure have changed since I was young. Vet bills (if we had any) were in the double digits not 4 and 5 digits.
We raised cattle, hogs and horses. I don't remember a vet for any of them. I did all the castrating and that's the only remotely medical attention paid to any of them. We had horses hooves trimmed once or twice. Most didn't need it. They spent much of their time running rocky slopes moving from pasture to pasture. I'm amazed what people spend on veterinary care today.

Any news on the pup?

This is might help:

The BackYardChickens Forum is a place for members to ask questions, share their experiences, and help each other learn while making new friends.

We've got a huge community, so in order to manage such a large group of diverse people we must enforce certain standards and rules. Underlying these rules is the fact that BackYardChickens is a place where people of different backgrounds and ideas can all feel comfortable participating around their same interest.

Do's

• Be friendly and courteous to all members at all times.
• Respect the BackYardChickens Staff. They dedicate LOTS of volunteer time keeping the forum running smoothly.
• Be nice to newcomers and help them feel welcome.
• Respect that people may have a different political, religious, philosophical and cultural background than you.
• Be very descriptive in the subjects of your new topics and try to stay on topic as you post. Example: do not say "HELP ME!", but instead say "I'm having a problem with xxx yyy and could use some help"
• Link back to BackYardChickens from your site and/or blog, especially if you put a link to another site in your forum signature (see rules on similar sites below)
• Have fun and learn!

Don'ts
This is a list of things you should not do on our board. BackYardChickens Staff will lock or remove topics if there are posts that are contrary to the good of the community. The BackYardChickens staff have many years of combined experience with this community and these rules are based on this experience. The staff love the community, but if a member continues to disregard our guidelines they will be banned from accessing the BackYardChickens forum.

1. Remember this is a family friendly community, so no swearing, foul language, or profanity.
2. Definitely no inappropriate topics, especially "Adult"or innuendo.
3. No Flaming (verbally attacking people or groups of people - e.g. a profession, an organization, a company.)
4. No Trolling (posting to provoke others, luring them to flame or rant). Trolling is sometimes done involuntarily, so please be considerate when posting. NOTE: Do not reply to or quote people who troll or flame. Doing so may also be considered breaking our rules.
5. No Teasing, mocking, ridiculing, or otherwise making fun at other member's expense.

7. Do not advertise your products or services outside of the appropriate Buy Sell Trade (BST) areas of the forum.
8. No Bumping or Cross-posting topics. Bumping is posting to move a thread up on the forum list, and cross-posting is posting the same thread in several forums.
9. Do not post overly personal information like your phone number, address, age, or any other overly personal info. Minors especially should not post information that will identify them or their age.
10. Do not promote other websites that are "similar" to BackYardChickens, especially similar forums. Sometimes it may be appropriate to link to another site that has specific information relative to a question, but moderators have to right to remove links and posts at their discretion.
