Molly taking care of Sammy…

It was a year ago today that Steve called me on my cell phone to tell me that Sammy had been hit by a car. It’s unbelievable how fast a year goes by and how much happens in that time. Sammy is fully recovered, with only a small patch of skin that won’t grow hair to show that he was ever injured. I’ve gone through some really hairy patches with my animals over the years, and aside from Charlie’s sudden and shocking death, getting that phone call was the worst.

Sammy is now a leash dog, and although he may be a reformed car chaser I’m not about to test out the theory. We sometimes let him off leash when we’re close to the house and he always comes when I call him, but I’m not ready to trust him anywhere near the road.

If your dog chases cars, he’s going to get hit, so take appropriate measures now before you have to go through the terror and pain of watching your dog suffer. We used all of the healing tools at Steve’s disposal to help heal Sammy, including microcurrent therapy, light therapy, vibe plate therapy and supplements. The vet was astounded at his recovery, but not many people have these tools at their disposal.

We gave Sammy extra hugs today and told him how glad we are that he survived being hit by a Suburban. (!)
