Jazzmine is our family dog. Today, she is lucky to be alive! Just a few moments ago, Jazzmine took a van-shot to the side of the head.Here's the unfortunate scenario.
While I was out on the patio doing some reading, she quietly escaped her lead. I had no clue until Lisa came running out to the deck with an urgent, "Jazzmine is over at the park!" Apparently, one of the parks and rec workers got hold of Jazz and called the number on her tag.
The park is behind our house and through the small woods. So, Lisa and Quinn went running. I chose the Civic. When I got there, Jazz was in the hands of the workers who were entertaining 30 kids. How scary for them. The worker mistakenly thought Jazz would run right to me and let her go. She did run, but not to me.
Instead, she ran through some yards and across another street. So, Quinn and I went after her. We saw her on the opposite side of the street. I called for her to come back. Mistake. I didn't see a van coming. She timed (or mis-timed) her run perfectly to...thump...take a glancing blow to the left side of the face and shoulder from the van she didn't see either. After she shook her head and collected her senses, she came right to me. We both walked home quietly, probably thinking the same thing, "Didn't YOU see that van?!"
She's fine...as normal as Jazz is. Nothing seems to be hurting or painful to touch. No vet visit in our future, we hope.
Oh...life with Jazz.
