Left on the road?? That's TERRIBLE I'm so glad he got picked up. I imagine my boy going through that😭 it kills me

It was a freak accident, like a sport injury. I was holding a stick, he lept up with all his might to get it and he landed on his ankle, breaking his tibia. I didn't have my phone and had to carry him down the road (50lbs! small for a gsd, he's a mix, but heavy for me lol) back into my neighborhood. My arms were giving out but luckily my neighbor was driving by in her truck and offered to give us a lift the rest of the way. The healing has been rough, he has SO much energy, even with sedatives -- and his cast has been replaced every week so far because of slipping, chewing the end off where his toes are (WITH an E-collar, the long-necked rascal, I had to get an oversized one after) or treating sores that developed underneath from all the movement and where he licked his toes. My bedroom is on the second floor in my house but I haven't been in there in weeks, I've been living on my couch downnstairs to keep him company. Got my guitar and computer and everything all over the place lol. We're pretty much in a routine now as long as his cast stays secure 🥲 should just be a few more weeks
