This is what happens when your old dog think she's still a pup and smashes her head into a boat trailer at high speed. In typical Bailey fashion - she did er up good. Those stitches you see are actually the laceration edges as this cut was triangular in shape and right down to the (ahem) skull. She didn't bleed more than a few tablespoons of blood and actually didn't even seem to give a shit. I however did; and packed her up (we were at Ian and Shelley's place at Shushwap) and brought her into see the emergency vet on call. Had to help him shave and rinse her wound; knock her out and gas her. Then had the ugly task of watching as he stitched her up internally - then finished her up as you see in these pics. I've just iced her head to help with the swelling and find myself wondering just how bad her headache must be this morning. Poor old beast - just glad she still has her eyes. So now - a list of the almost 12 YO Bailey's ailments:
1. Missing top of femur due to dysplasia.
2. Missing two front teeth due to snow shovel contact one winter many moons ago.
3. One kick ass scar!
Oh yeah - and this cost me one missed round of golf and $350. If only I'd been a clever man - could have been a wealthy vet.

Nice work Bailey!
Now you didn't really have to watch her get stitched up, you're just into that shit.
Anyhow, hope she's recovering.
I've had a Razor for over a year and not had any problems.
wow, she has me beat. Check your email for before pic and video of some bike carnage from yours truly. End result was a trip to walk in clinic and 5 stiches in my knee. Almost made it through my young years with no stiches.
Uh Ok Mr Brown - your comment makes no sense. But we have something in common apart from the phone - psycho vet bills! In the future; try and keep it on topic!
