My little Mia

As most of you know 2 years ago today, I came home from work to find my 6 mo old lab hanging in a tree. She liked to climb out of the yard and follow me to work. So until I bought a dog run I tied her to a tree branch. Well long, dramatic story short she got caught in her rope, a rope toy and a kids rope swing. It spun her right up the tree. So please if you need to tie your pet, put them in a body harness first.

Our visit w/ the vet

Last Sunday, Mylee & Tucker ripped out of their new palace. We came home from dinner w/ the fam and the dogs were GONE! We searched all night for them...The dogs didnt have any identification on them either (came off in the escape) So needless to say we were freaking out that our dogs were lost and there was no way for them to return to us without tags on. I call the Sandy Animal Shelter first thing Monday morning. They had just received a call on two dogs. Was told to call an hour later once they had arrived in the shelter. I call and it sounds like my dogs, so Matt & I rush down. I knew the second we walked in that our dogs were there. I know my dogs bark when I hear it. We go back to the "jail" and identify them. They were FOUND! Mylee had been hit by a car in rush hour traffic and the person who hit her called the pound. They were picked up by the train station...Where were they planning on going? Took Mylee to the vet and she has staples in her head and stitches all over her legs. No broken bones!! One lucky dog.

This morning while working with the horses Tuck was stung by yellow jackets. He came running up to me and his head looked like a hive. He went between my legs to get them off and low and behold I get stung. Here are some pics of our expensive kids....

Tuckers left eye is swollen and right side of his mouth. He is lucky we have a stash of medicine to help w/ the swelling.
