Nash, our dog was running along with us while we picked up rocks this morn. I had stopped so Marilyn and I could pick up a few of the lovely nuggets and while the tractor/wagon were stopped he laid down under the wagon to get some shade. Well you can probably figure out what happened when I got on the tractor and drove away. A rear wheel went over his hind leg. He was in a LOT of pain so I called the vet and then took him in. Nash weighs 97 pounds and the vet is 75 years old so I was the assistant while Marilyn and two granddaughters watched. Doc put Nash into a blissful sleep with a shot and we lifted him up on the Xray table, then transferred him to the examining table where he put on a cast. The tibula is fractured but not broken so that's good. The front side of the bone is still intact but the back side has a fracture that goes the long way down the bone a ways.
So now he's home laying in the shade in the cool grass and we're tending to his needs. Doc said to keep him in a kennel or on a leash until Labor day, then the cast will come off. We have a creek that he loves to swim in and that's out of the question till the cast comes off. He can stand up but needs assistance getting up and he whines pretty loud when I help him so I'm really feeling sorry for him about now.
He'll be OK in the end and we're really feeling bad about what happened but at least he wasn't hurt any worse and we didn't have to put him down, thank goodness. Jim

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook.
