Koopa - Lost, Found & Injured

Not posted in a couple of weeks cos there has been a lot of shit going on and I just couldn't be arsed writing about it.

Last Friday (8th), Deb was out walking Koopa and she was on her way back from Haslam park walking down the path that takes you out to Tom Benson way so you can cross over to the canal. They were about half way down the path and Koopa was still off the lead and he spotted something in the bushes and went after it. Deb then heard a screech of brakes/tyres and a yelp. She got through the bushes as quick as she could on to Tom Benson way but there was no sign of Koopa and whoever may have hit him hadn't stopped.

Long story short, this happened about 3pm, we search for hours and hours and we didn't find him again until about 1pm the next day when someone rang us to say that he was in their porch round the corner from the park. You wouldn't believe how worried we were and then how relieved we were when we found him. He had been hit by a car (fucking twats for not stopping!) and his back left leg is in a bit of a state. He's broken a couple of toes and had most of the skin on top of his foot ripped off. We've had him at the vets Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and today. Each time he has to be sedated so that he can have his wounds cleaned and bandages changed.

Koop's is gonna have to have his foot bandaged up for at least another 2 to 3 weeks and he can't go out for walks that whole time. Its a bit of a nightmare having to constantly watch him to make sure he doesn't lick or rip his bandage off and he has to sleep in our room at night at the moment so we can hear him if he tries to take his cone off so he can get at his bandage.

All in all another shit thing has happened in what has been a pretty shitty year. Roll on 2007!
