If there are any animal lovers out there... who love and adore their pets.. and don't really consider them "pets" but more like "my furry child"... please keep my dog Gizmo in your prayers.

Was walking both my dogs last night around 8pm... and one of the drunk f**ing white trash neighbors pulled out of his driveway like a maniac and jumped the opposite side of the street curb where I was at the moment.

He ran over my baby boy... My little white fluffball of a shitzu is in critical condition right now at the local pet emergency hospital. I don't know what I would do if I lost him right now.....

I'm at the edge of a nervous breakdown... and everyone in my household is frantic atm... including his sister.. my other dog... Mazie.

Please keep Gizmo in your thoughts and prayers.....

That's just awful, I love my pets I could never imagine someone doing that. I'm so sorry this happened and I hope for the best outcome.
 
I'm sorry.

Hopefully it will end well for him. It's always hard when something like this happens.

You are always so helpful, sucks when something like this happens to good people.
 
I'm so sorry this happened to you :(

If you haven't already, call and get a police report for him jumping the curb and hitting your dog. You can then use this to claim against his auto insurance for medical expenses for your pet, or take him to small claims at a later time.

Best of luck to your little doggo <3

This x100000. I know your have other things on your mind right now, but don't let this accident also destroy your financial stability.

Big hugs out to you and Gizmo my friend.
 
Sorry to hear that THD, hope the lil guy pulls through like the champ he is! It'll be okay, dogs are a lot tougher than we think they are sometimes. I've had 2 live for 5+ years after losing a leg (both to cancer, PSA bernese mtn dogs get cancer a lot) not saying this is happening in your case but it's just a testament to their toughness and of course the affection we give them helps too!

But yeah you really should have someone close to you file the police report, I know it's the last thing on your mind but it ain't right for them to do that and not be held responsible.

Go Gizmo!
 
Shit THG that sucks, our thoughts are with you. Our furbabies our a major portion of life in our house, hope he pulls through!
 
Sorry to hear of this unfortunate situation. I agree with Augmentor as we will hope for the best possible outcome for you and your family of furry friends.

So sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you. We have a large mix of dogs and cats and they are more family than pets. We lost our papillon Gizmo a few months ago to liver failure. Hoping yours pulls through!
 
Thank you for all the love.
Update on Gizmo:
Had to have 3 surgeries.
One to repair a punctured lung from on of his several broken ribs.
Two to set at place micro pins in his left leg, multiple fracture and breaks, not sure if he will be able to walk normal after healing.... time will tell.
Three to do exploratory surgery to find where he was having internal bleeding in his stomach/stitch it up.

He is now in intensive state from critical, but he is a tuff little f@@ker, and he was so happy to have daddy by his side most of the day.

The hospital was kind enough to allow me to bring Mazie back to visit him. She wouldn't stop wagging her tail once she saw him. They are inseperable.

They both sleep in bed under the covers curled up together at night, and Mazie didn't sleep at all sensing how upset i was, and knowing Gizmo was not in the home or in bed.

Gonna beat least 2 more days before i can even hope to bring him home if he continues doing as well ad he is.

And a long and painful road to recovery for him.

I feel the care/love.. and wanted to say I appreciate it allot.

Broke down and lost it twice when he whimpered and tried to stretch to put his paw out to touch me.

Went to municipal building around lunch with two other neighbors who bore witness the incident. Filed a report, and requested the police report contain his car insurance information after they question him.
Also talking to my lawyer for a civil suit.

I'm going to make him wish her we're dead after i get trough with hm.

So glad to hear things are improving! I'm gonna hug my fur babies extra hard tonight and keep Gizmo in my thoughts. Get some rest if you can!
 
Holy $hit. I woulda beat the snot outta that assface. I'm so happy to hear that Gizmo is a trooper and is doing better. Keeping you and your fur-family in my thoughts and praying for a full recovery from surgeries. Stay strong, both of ya :)

Here's my little dude, Kermit.20170330_152146.jpg

You the man Dretski. If they were all large breeds instead of ankle biters I would be in heaven!


That's only half of mine though. Couldn't afford feeding so many if they were large breeds, and the neutering prices increase expontentially with the kilos. :D

Oliver sends his special regards too. He was found with a broken and wrongfully healed hip, so he had one of the most advanced bone rearrangements our leading specialist surgeon had ever been through.

I'll be in Lisbon this weekend... and was in Porto last year. Portugal is awesome! Hope your furry friends (both you and Tree) get well soon!
 
UPDATE:

Gizmo has the green light to come home later today... Picking him up around 3pm.

All in all the cost of the medication, surgery, and the time and effort for the physical therapy he will need is unreal.

But on the bright side.... I get to pick up the police report today... which DOES include his car insurance information... and I'll be filing a claim under property damage clause.... and also sicking my attack dog lawyer on him with a civil suit that will make his white trash beer belly pop when he sees the award I'm seeking.

As a bonus.. I was told he was given a citation for wreckless driving.... They could not give him a DWI because he was not witnessed by an officer being intoxicated... but my 3 other neighbor's statements to the officer who took my report and my injured Gizmo was all they needed to give him the ticket.

I just hope i don't end up on that Investigation Discovery channel show called ... "fear thy neighbor"....
 
That's great news matey! One thing though, and please don't think I'm being preachy...
Claim for Gizmos costs... if this guy is close (in a neighbourhood sense), maybe might be best to not make things any worse with a civil suit. Just playing devils advocate really - I don't want things to spiral out of control for you guys!
Just a thought and not advice - do what you think is best!

Fantastic. In this state, if you are in any accident, you are given a breath test. If you are above .08 well you get the DUI.
 
This will be my final update on this thread ....

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH ... for all the love and prayers you fellow animal lovers gave during my trying time.

Sometimes I had to bury myself in RedGuides work to keep from brooding on things... and other times I just couldn't muster the energy to even logon to moderate the forums or work on some KissAssist code... , but no matter what... I felt the love.. and it meant allot to me.

Gizmo is home and being his usual "i wanna cuddle with you daddy" self... today is his third straight day of physical therapy at the local animal care center. He is looking good so far.. and it appears that his leg is healing properly with the pins in it... and his muscle strength seems good.. so looks like he is on the road to being able to once again walk normally.

I got the final bill from the surgeries.... his estimated cost for physical therapy.. and the cost of his medications (antibiotics/pain meds) .. and submitted the full ammount to my *&(*#Q$@'head of a neighbor's insurance company.....

Lord help them if they don't pay every freaking penny of it..lol

Me and Gizmo send back out the love you gave us,....

Once again...

THANK YOU ALL.
 
Glad to hear things are turning around. I've been there with a dog who has since passed. She survived being hit by a car before she came to live with us, also with pins and bolts to reconstruct a crushed leg. Several years later, we had her spleen removed along with an orange sized tumor. Turned out not only did she survive all of this, but came back stronger every time. I treasured every day with Miss Lilly after that, and it turned into many wonderful years. I hope you have many of those as well.
 
So glad to hear everything turned out okay! What a scary thing to have happen. I had to put down my english springer spaniel 2 years ago that had been a part of my life for 14 long years and it was the hardest thing I've ever gone through. They definitely become a bigger part of your life than just being a pet, that's for sure!

Hopefully everything goes well with the physical therapy. You are both in our thoughts and prayers!

P.s. this is my new fur ball. I think she'd die happy if she never had to stop playing outside in the snow haha.
