• I was sitting downstairs talking to DH before he hit the backwoods of VA and lost his cellular/sattelite signal.  He had just lost his signal and I had put the phone down when I heard Iris screaming in pain.  The screaming wasn't stopping.  I ran upstairs and found her limping around, trying to run from the pain.  BT was no where to be found.  LT was sitting in the chair smiling (probably thinking, "Now HE gets to get in big trouble, NOT ME! HOOHOO!).  I finally get Iris to stop screaming and I calm her down when BT appears.  He is continually saying, "I'm sorry."  I ask who did it and he says that he did.  I went crazy.

  
  

  I love my animals, anyone hurts them and I don't like it.  My children have been taught since they were babies, that you are to be NICE to animals, any and all animals...always nice.  BT, it seems, had, if only for a moment, forgotten this little lesson.  He thought that playing rough with the puppy was a great idea.  I took Iris to the vet and she's fine.  A little bruised, but otherwise fine.  They gave me some pain meds and told me that she'll be fine by tomorrow, but to have the meds in case she needs them.  Nothing is broken thank heavens. 

  
  

  I told BT that he broke her leg and that I was pissed.  I also threatened to call the police and have him thrown in jail...this seemed to turn the light on in his head that you don't do stupid shit when it comes to animals.  When I finally was calm enough to ask him exactly what happened he starts off with, "Don't be mad."  Seriously, I was already livid, the kid is telling me, "Don't be mad"???????? AS IF!

  
  

  DH was on the road and got a signal for a few minutes and called me and I told him what had happened and that I was going to take her to the vet when they got back from lunch (this happened at noon and they aren't in the office from 12-2p).  DH was worried, he loves animals and they are his children.

  
  

  The vet that I took Iris to is a new vet that I take our other dogs to, to be groomed. I haven't used them for medical purposes yet.  I got to today and I have to say that I am IN LOVE with my vet.  He's the nicest, kindest, most wonderful vet that I've ever met in my life.  I'm so happy that I've found him.

  
  

  Iris is fine, she's walking better and seems to be in better spirits.  BT on the other hand is sad because he can't play Nintendo...do kids EVER get it? Or should I be asking, Do MEN ever get it? UGH.
