Hey all. My roommate's dog Zara got hit by a car last night. She's bumped & bruised, but still hanging in there. The vet was a total jerk, and was talking about putting her down. Chris wasn't having any of that. If you can keep her in your thoughts & prayers, we'd all really appreciate it. And tell people to drive 25 to keep kids and dogs alive. [It was some kids speeding through our neighborhood. Fucking kids.]
Update: Thanks to Megan & Christian for your thoughts and for the recommendation of Rockbrook Animal Clinic. Incidentally, Tippi Dennenberg runs Bikram Yoga here in Omaha. Good people at Bikram. I've practiced with them before.
As of this morning [8.10] Zara is up & running around. Woo-yay!
I love that dog (minus when she runs up and nails my junk). That is just horrible... we were just looking at a picture we took of her last week at the party. Zara is the coolest dog ever.

as the former owner of a three-legged cat (lost his leg to a car), it sounds like "bumps and bruises" isn't a very good reason to put a dog to sleep ... glad you didn't follow the advice. hope she is doing better.
