you guys, my baby, Pistol (mini aussie) was almost killed today...

ok, we were trying to catch our horse in the pasture so we could excersize him, and Pistol was trying to "help" so he started chasing after the horse we were going to catch. The horses were going crazy, running around all over the pasture. Peppy started bucking and kicking at Pistol... we yelled at Pistol to get away and out of the pen, but NO. he didn't listen.

on the 4th kick, Peppy got Pistol. We heard this BIG craaaack!!!! it sounded as if a bone had popped or cracked. Pistol fell to the ground. He started squirming around, trying to get up. Then he just FROZE right then and there. his legs were sticking out in front of him, stiff...his neck was in one place. He was paralyzed... the poor dog could NOT move at ALL. We all ran to him to see if he was ok. His eyes seemed as if they were staring out into space. He looked dead...only his tummy was moving and we knew he was breathing.

The right side of his mouth was cut and swollen up. it was REAL ugly... We all cried as we stared at him not knowing what to do. Mom got out her cell phone and called my sister. She told her to look up the in-town vet's phone number. We got it, and called the vet. CLOSED. they were closed on the weekends. I just cried more. Since I couldn't stand the sight anymore, i just ran off to go cry on the hay bales away where i couldn't see pistol.

After about 2 minutes of crying i went back to pistol. My mom said to me "he's going to die...peppy kicked somewhere around his neck and mouth, and he can't move his neck."
i shivered and knelt down by pistol and told him how much i loved him. i didn't dare hug him, for i feared that i might hurt him more. one of our workers was there at the acres working, and he stood pistol up. Pistol looked like he didn't know where he was...he looked SOO confused. After looking around, and took one step forward. Then just threw himself to the ground again. he had to lie down. the guy who was working there said to pick him up, and take him inside the truck. i did so...carefully, i picked him up and carried him towards the truck. He started moving in my arms, and just JUMPED out of my arms. back to his old self, he started running like crazy and jumping and just running more. a tear of joy ran down my cheek. i knew he was going to be ok. my mom was so surprised. We all thanked God for this miracle. My brother and I had prayed for him, and God helped him. For a while he WAS paralized.

Please guys, could you please pray for him still? he might have a broken nose, and maybe other things. Let's hope not. we're going to take him to the vet on Monday...when they open

Glad to hear your dog is himself. I have a dog that has a little scar on his forehead from my mare.  You would think they would learn? I hope it was no more then just getting "his bell rung", and he remembers next time.
