Oh my Halo..

He seriously almost gave me heart failure today. I was watching tv this morning when Joash yelled at me from the bedroom "Halo's fighting with a dog!" So I darted outside and saw him and a black lab in the woods, and once I yelled for Halo the dog scrammed. (Thank the Lord). Anyway, Joash finally got out there and said he saw Halo up in a tree that was taller than the house, and then he fell. I can't believe he could climb a tree because his front claws were removed. So I guess he couldn't move from shock, and Joash had to trek in the woods through all the thorns and briars to get him. He was so dirty and wet at that. So i put him in the tub and picked the branches off of him, and got him as clean as I could. Afterwards, he was just laying around breathing really really heavy, and coughing a few times. It scared the crap out of me so we found a vet at PetsMart that would take him in today. We left him there for a few hours, and they sedated him and X-rayed him. Everything seems to be okay except for a blood clot that may have pushed his colon down. We are going to watch him for that reason, but thankfully there are no fractures. He was really lucky because he fell a long ways, and he was also lucky that the dog didn't bite him. He is walking around all drunk and loopy right now, but it should wear off in a couple hours. He has pain meds that we will give him, because his back is probably sore from the impact of the fall. He is NOT going outside anymore...

Here's a picture of my beautiful baby.
