| Sketch of Sadie after she ate her first snow! |
 |
| Painted on ice in 4 degree temperature. |
How do I tell you-- Sadie was hit by a tractor trailer truck yesterday afternoon. She and I were in the front yard. I heard some large trucks coming down the road and grabbed her collar. Two went by, I didn't hear anything so I let her go. Another truck came down the road. She ran and I screamed No,, She ran right in front of him and he hit her on the side. She flipped totally over and ran. RAN.. I ran, screaming NO NO.. fell in the snow. The truck driver stopped.. He was trying to stop when he saw us.. He came out and apologized, I told him he couldn't help it.. he was so very kind. She came to us, I got her in the house. and took her to the vet. They watched her for hours and I waited. She is ok. She's sore and has one little cut but it is a miracle that she is fine. I'm still watching her and trying to make her rest but she is doing fine. OH it scared me so badly. You know how dearly I love her. If only I'd brought her in sooner.
I was going to show you this wash I did the other morning. I took my paints and water outside, I poured water onto the paper..before I could put the brush filled with color onto the paper the water had froze onto the paper. I was painting on ice crystals.. it was amazing. Unfortunately it didn't dry so well when I brought it inside. I had planned to paint yesterday afternoon.. but that didn't happen.
Wishing each of you a safe and warm weekend. love to each of you..Diana
Oh, Diana, what a nightmare ... my heart is pounding just reading about it. I'm so glad Sadie will recover, and that the driver was so kind.
ReplyDeleteOh poor Sadie! Hope she is feeling completely fine soon. Maybe you should need a fence around the house so that she can not run out on the road? She doesn´t seem affraid at all! I hope that she remembers this now, maybe it will make her more careful. We have had cold weather here too last couple of weeks, but today the snow has started to melt away from the roads. Take care you two, and give Sadie a hug from me!
ReplyDeleteHow terrifying, Diana!!! I know how much you love her. I am so relieved and happy to read that she is OK! Please give her a cuddle and a kiss on the nose for me ... and a big hug for you!!!

I gasped when I read your title - I know how much you love her and I love seeing Sadie on my feedreader - she is a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness everything is all right - they are such precious pets and already not in our lives long enough.
Big hug to you xxx
So glad Sadie will be OK. What a terrible time for you both. I like the look of the watercolor on ice , tiny fissures it looks like
ReplyDeleteI've written you an email.. I can't tell you how it scared me to read this.. BJ
ReplyDeletePrayers for Sadie and you both
ReplyDeleteScary and heart breaking.
Oh, and I'd like to see a current picture of Sadie to ease my mind. Thank you. Its sort of my way of helping to watch her as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Diana I was so shaken to read this. I have a friend who lives on a busy street and her dog is much like dear Sadie. She finally had Invisible Fence put in and it has worked beautifully for her and her dog. You just have them put the fence where you need it. It might be the solution for you. Please keep us posted on Sadies (and YOUR) recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! We lost a Bloodhound to a truck driver once and it hurt us terribly. I am so glad Sadie is ok, Diana.
