Sarge was in a pretty bad accident today.

Looks like he’ll make it but several days in the animal hospital ahead followed by a couple months of recovery. Ugh.

Pupper prayers appreciated.

Thanks so much for all the kind words.

Avoided the worst. No broken bones, but lots of cuts and scrapes. Ugh.

The doctors and staff at Princeton Animal Hospital are pretty damn amazing people, so a very special thanks to them and the Animal Control guys who got him there.

Unbelievable.

It seems Sarge isn't out of the woods just yet, so thanks so much for the kind thoughts and prayers.

Well, Sarge is still in critical condition, but things are moving in the right direction. Hope to know more by the end of the day.

Thanks again for all the kind words here. (My daughter was really touched that Sarge was trending last night.)

Latest update is looking a bit better, but probably looking at some surgery and a week in the hospital.

Let me use this moment to recommend pet insurance.

PUPDATE:

We just got a call from the surgeon, who reports that Sarge is, and I quote, "a healing machine" who's recovering better than they had originally hoped.

Still a ways to go, but I'm going to go exhale for a full minute now.

Just saw him again and he’s looking great. (Collar on here because he was gnawing at the bandages, which is a sign he’s back to normal.)

I can’t believe how lucky we’ve gotten here and I’m so thankful for all the people who’ve taken such good care of him and us.

🚨🚨🚨🚨

Sarge is being discharged tonight and will be coming home!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (inhales deeply) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

On our way to get him. Mood:

He’s home! A little tired and a lot sore, but home.

There’s a chance I might love this dog just a little bit.
