Last Sunday we decided to load up the dogs and take them to the dog park. It was a nice day so I put the pet nets in and loaded them into the Jeep. This always creates a frezy of excitement. As I fumbled around in the garage, and Bonnie was still in the house, I heard the most wretched wailing. I ran up to the Jeep to discover that my rottie had been bumped into my CB mount (without the CB), caught his eyelid, and ripped it open trying to get free. The result was a hideous flap of raw meat and blood all over his face.
We rushed him to an animal hospital and the were able to stitch him up nicely. It's still swollen, but going down, and he has to wear the cone for two weeks, making him a walking snow plow with an attitude.
If I live to be 100, I'll never know a better dog than Ryker. This freak accident crushed me. He's getting better now, and no doubt itching to go for another ride, as am I. He's a couple pics, the day after:
I guess the lesson here for me is to look for all protruding objects in the back of the Jeep that can hurt my pups.
