So 2 weeks ago tomorrow a neighbors husky got ahold of toothless. Thankfully I heard the commotion and was able to get outside in time to find the dog in the process of carrying toothless off. A shovel was handy and the dog went home with a headache. When i hit the dog he dropped toothless who i initially thought was dead as he was lifeless on the ground. He was just stunned and thankfully he had no missing feathers or puncture wounds. The bad news, in the struggle his right wing and hip was injured. His wing is better now but he is still a little sore on his right leg. For the first 10 days he got to be a house chicken recovering in the dog crate. 3 days in my brother nicknamed him chicken and dumplings to tease my daughter as his crowing drove everyone crazy. Saturday we moved his crate outside next to momma's to get him used to being back outside. I turn him loose several times a day now and he will walk around a bit and dust bath but he doesn't get more then 2 feet away from me and when he is done he goes right back in the crate. I took advantage of his hospital stay to spoil him a bit and he's come to realize he likes being a lap chicken and that having your back scratched is wonderful thing. I'm hoping that in another week he'll be fully recovered.
Wow! He's pretty! Great job with his care. Looks like he'll be out with the ladies soon.
