abbie just learned she cannot take on a truck and win
i was going to work on breaking her of the habit of chasing after cars and trucks when we're in the front yard today. unfortunately, at one point, i was concentrating on something, and she was closer to the road than i thought, and a truck came through.... and she jumped *at* it, instead of running beside it. definitely got hurt on her paw, and ankle, and a couple nicks on her head, but she'll be fine.
fortunately, the drivers stopped and helped me get the dog in the car - great dane girl weighs more than a 100 lbs! - and roomie drove us to the emergency vet clinic. i was pretty upset, because i'm the one who lets her off-leash when i work outside :(.
she is currently being held overnight for observation, and i fully expect the cone of shame tomorrow when she comes home. and maybe some serious spoiling and petting and i'm already half-way planning to sleep on the floor with her, because she's not gonna want to jump on the bed like normal....
damned dog scared the sh*t out of me.
