Last Friday night one of my 3 boys, the youngest Beagle Brother, Buck, broke his harness and ran into the street. He was hit by a passing car as my Wife Beverly, was trying to call him back. The Driver saw Buck and swerved but still hit him. We nursed Buck over the weekend and took him to a Vet last Monday. The Vet could not take X rays, but gave Buck a thorough exam and found nothing broken just a strained tendon in Bucks leg, that had bruising and some road rash. Each day Buck seemed to get better. He started eating and drinking. By midweek, Buck would walk to the door with his brothers to go outside. Bucks rowdy and playful attitude was the only thing missing and we assumed he just needed time to heel. Last night Buck went outside with his brothers before bed. He came in , had a drink of water and laid down in his favorite spot on the floor where we made a bed of blankets and pillow for him. This morning Bev woke to the boys wanting to go out. The difference today, Buck was not joining them Bev went to wake Buck and could not. For reasons unknown Buck Passed last night in spite of seemingly recovering well. The loss has devastated us. Bev, out of habit, filled the three food bowls. Bucks two brothers emptied 2 and left the third full. Bucks loss has effected even our other Dogs.
I would like to make a call out to our West/Central PA and Eastern Ohio members... If anyone knows of any $200 or less, Small Breed Puppies for sale or needing a home, PLEASE let me know. I live in Emporium, Cameron County. Our Van is old, with high miles. We would be willing to travel 100 miles but am apprehensive about traveling further. I thank you in advance if you know of any Puppies...JJ
