About 4:40 this afternoon I heard loud barking outside my bedroom window. Peeked out and saw a large white dog standing over one of our strays named Smoke. I scared him off, only to see Smoke drag himself over to the wall by his front paws; the back half of his body completely prostrate.
Husband called the cops (from Charlotte - he's resourceful) and I scurried around for a box and a place to take him. He was still alive an hour later when I got everything ready to go (he had hid himself from me in the time it took me to go back in the house and change and get my son ready to go; so I spent valuable time looking for him). Cop came, took my statement (verbally & did not give me his card); and I loaded son and cat into the car to go to emergency vet.
Smoke only hissed at me once.
His back was broken, they had to put him to sleep. I cried all the way there, all the time I was there; and all the way home. Still crying. He was such a loving sweet baby. I feel like shit. I could have done better by him...
:cry:

I went over and visited with the lady who's dog it was. I wanted to give her a chance to know before we went any further with it. She's a lovely person. This sucks so bad all around.
