Beasley Update

It was definitely a gunshot. Yep. Can you imagine? Someone shot Beasley in his chest and it came out of his armpit. We are so fortunate it wasn't one more inch to the middle or it would have hit his heart, apparently where they were aiming. He is at the orthopedic surgeon's now, the same one that just repaired his foot. She is going to take good care of him, we are sure of it. They will operate on him first thing tomorrow morning and update us then. They will place a pin in his shattered bone and then a plate around it. It is going to be a long hard recovery but we will take the best care of him possible. I told him that he was going to have a little "off season" surgery and rehab now that summer is over and he'll be back in action for next year. Thanks for all of the prayers and concern, he needs it!

Here he is in the car when we moved him to the surgeon's office. You can see where he was shot, it came out in his armpit.

Aww that is so sad. People can be so cruel. Where was he when it happened? At the lake or your house?

I'm SHOCKED! I'll be thinking about y'all. I'm sure it's not easy having a hurt puppy, now it's like you have two babies to take care of. Hope Beasley gets well soon, poor thing!
