Paging, Dr. Pine....Paging Dr. Pine.....

We had our first boating accident.

Poor Luke still has not learned that we need to remove the hatch at the top of the ramp before he can get out. He still forgets that he is a simple dog and cannot walk through walls.

So... it went down like this....

We come back from the store and push back the top part of the hatch to say hello to the doggies. Before we can remove the rest of the hatch.... Luke comes bounding up the ramp and

wham!

Head first into the hatch! Ouch! But that wasn't the bad part! After running snout first into hatch, he then almost tumbles off the ramp onto the floor... but his back haunch got caught on a small shelf... (which has since then been removed) This kept him from tumbling off but it did rip a nice hole in his skin.... (see below)

Kevin is a paramedic and has saved us many trips to the emergency room for us and the vet for the dogs... So, Dr. Pine once again dove into his medical bag to fix up poor old Luke....

After a good wound cleansing and a few stitches, Luke was all patched up....

We put one of Kevin's shirts around him for extra measure to keep him from licking...

(doesn't he look so pitiful?)

Jasmine even jumped up on the bed to snuggle with him during the procedure...she is such a sweet heart.....

And here is the patient.... all doped up sleeping off the drugs.....

It was actually a little cool that night in the boat so all the hounds were wrapped up tight!

Here is Sandy... all snuggled up in her favorite corner!

And last but not least... here is Jasmine doing her ET impersonation....
