And this why I use a leash no mater where I am with my dogs.
Our beautiful Halo… only 2½ years old… and our whole world changed in a moment. 💔
That morning started like every other. Coffee outside together — our quiet little ritual. The sun was just coming up, and she was wearing her brand-new Fi GPS collar. I had set her safe zone like always. She wandered just a little beyond it — maybe 20 feet out of my sight.
I called her name.
She always comes running.
This time… she didn’t.
My heart dropped. I got in the car to look for her. As I reached the street, the notification came through — she had left the safe zone. The location popped up. And then I saw it.
Four cars stopped.
Halo lying in the road.
A young driver had hit her. 911 was called, but I couldn’t wait. I rushed her to Mosaic Emergency myself, praying the entire drive.
Now our brave girl is in critical condition in the doggie ICU.
A shattered pelvis, including the ball and socket.
Broken ribs.
A head injury.
Internal bleeding — which improved after a blood transfusion last night.
Bruises and scrapes covering her sweet body.
And yet… she’s fighting.
She recognizes us.
She responded to the transfusion.
She’s lifted her head.
She’s rolled a few times.
Today I’m bringing her smashed sweet potato and Greek yogurt — her favorite — hoping she might take a tiny taste.
Surgery is likely once she’s stable. We’re waiting for the orthopedic team to review her X-rays and tell us what comes next.
She is only 2½. She is strong. She is loved beyond words.
Please keep our sweet Halo in your hearts and prayers.
She’s still fighting… and we’re fighting right beside her. 🐾💖
