I know most of you don't remember the story of Rusty, but he is such a big part of our lives......
RustySm.jpg RustySm1.jpg

We live on over 30 acres and the big dogs are free to roam...as we live WAY out in the woods. Anyway, they had been in most of the day yesterday and then it started snowing really hard, so they wanted to go outside...they love the snow. Well, it was about 30 minutes later, they were scratching on the door to come in. Rusty (and the other two) were sooooo hyper (as always) licking, playing, wanting to "shake", etc. So, when I went to give them a treat, Rusty turned around and I saw this!!!!

I know, I know....how did I miss that??!!

I have no clue!!!

Anyway, we still do NOT know what caused it....he has been at the vets and we get to pick him up later this afternoon! --Maybe they will have some answers!

At first, I thought maybe it was a wild animal because we have tons of them around here...wild boars, moutain cats/lions, bears, or a dog...but then we thought if that was the case, the other two would have fought with it too and be hurt.

I thought maybe he got stuck in a fence?! I just don't know...anyway, he must have been in shock or something because he didn't act like it bothered him at all. It wasn't really deep...but looked like it was cut right under the skin/hair line!

We just have NO clue as to what could have done this!!

Poor little guy! Sorry for the graphic pictures.....
