Poor Amos
Woke up this morning and decided to go for a run with Amos. We went to the park and ran for a while. We got back in the truck to drive home and I thought hey why not let him ride in the back. Dogs like that right? I was almost home when I looked in the rearview mirror and saw him with his paws up on the side and as I was slowing down and trying to tell him to sit he jumps out of the truck. I was going at least 30 mph. Luckily he landed on his feet for the most part. I pulled over and got and out and got him to come to me. I picked him up and put him in the cab with me. I looked down and I had blood all over me. So naturally I thought the worst. I went the rest of the way home and ran in to tell Marissa to call the vet and tell them I’ll be there soon. She saw all the blood and naturally thought the worst. I left without my phone or my wallet. I get to the vet wich is about a 15-20 min. drive. Apparently they had moved buildings and we hadn’t recieved the change of address yet. So I drove back home changed clothes got the wallet the phone and the gps. We finally got to the vet. Amos is fine he cut his ear pretty good and has some road rash on hi back legs. It was a crazy hectic morning. I’m glad that Amos is fine. I just hope people don’t think I’m a crazy husband dog owner. My wife is limping around on a hurt ankle and now my dog has a bloody ear and scabs on his legs. Jeez I wonder whats giong to happen to me.

I’m so glad Amos is okay. We’ve thought about putting Lehre in the back of our truck, but just haven’t yet… probably won’t now. How do other dogs do that? Maybe they are just smarter & know not to jump out! HA! Hope Marissa’s ankle heals quickly.
