Not exactly "reunited." More like "united." It's been a week since this little guy made his debut into our lives. Apparently, he crawled beneath the fence and took shelter behind my garden shed. No telling how long he was back there. Two, maybe three days. He was skinny, starving, dehydrated, and scared. Worse yet, he had a dislocated hip, probably the result of being hit by a car. We took him to Wheatridge Animal Hospital where Dr. Nora attempted a Closed Hip Reduction. Unfortunately, the injury was too severe and unstable. His femur just wouldn't stay in its socket. Surgery is scheduled for December 1st. No one has come forward to claim him, which makes me both happy and sad; happy that he'll have a home with us, but sad that someone felt they had to abandon him. He's a sweet dog, and clearly, someone was kind to him for a while.
