What did you accomplish today?

Been up all night digging out 00 buck shot out of a dog. It is a buddies dog and we were snowed in and I couldn't find a vet open anywhere. She made it through the night and is up and walking around.

I know some may disagree but I gave her a couple valium so she would be sedated and let me work on her.

Started her on a round of antibiotics.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum.

UHH the ending is going cool. You want to elaborate on how this pup got 00 buck to the chest?

The dogs owners neighbors thought it was ok to shoot the dog for crossing into their yard. Tried to say the dog was in their trash. I went and knocked on the door and talked to them. I asked to see the garbage bags that were tore open.

I caught them in a lie. We had a few words. My buddy is going to go talk to the DA and see about charges.

The guy that shot the dog was like I got a gun and know how to use it, you need to leave. I told him I obviously wasn't scared and that he didn't know how to use it or the dog would be dead.

Oh my. The shooter is going to have a very uncomfie future in the neighborhood. He best be a renter, else he'll take a serious loss on the eventual sale

I try. Didn't want to see the dog die or suffer.

I have dug many a bullet out of dogs before. Figured I was the best chance she had. That's not ego, I have worked on and stitched everything from dogs to chickens to cows.

You are a good man and a true humanitarian, I could hang with you.

I'm so glad I live in a quiet neighborhood. The worst that happens around here are kids stealing change out of my truck.

I still don't lock it though, but I just leave pennies in there now. If they need pennies that bad, they can have them.

I didn't save any dog's lives today, but I took 5 minutes to blow some of the snow off my daughter's lawn so her dog can poop easier. He seems to have a rough time on snow. Grass is easier for him to 'smell out' that perfect poop spot.

But then, he was a Florida shelter dog she got down there while she lived there for 3 years and this is his 1st winter in the north east.
