Help! Emergency!

Last night we got home late from church and after dinner (at 10:00 pm) Oscar went out to play with Sasha. She loves to run and jump and turn flips in the air and Oscar loves to play with her. Well, after a while he came in and said..."Sasha jumped and fell bad on her back leg. I think she broke it!"
Where do we find a vet on a holiday (June 12-Paz de Chaco) and late on a Saturday night?
We quickly thought of Mariela and Jarlen. Jarlen studied to be a Vet in Cuba and just married Mariela and we called them and went all across town to bring them back to our house to have him check out Sasha's leg.
It was pretty bad, so he thought up a way to put it in a cast. Jarlen says that dog bones heal much faster than human bones. I don't know who felt the worst, Oscar, Sasha, Gaby or Jarlen. The whole emergency made it hard to sleep last night.
She seems a little more jumpier today, anyway.
Whewwww, what a crazy night!

Oh, my! Poor Sasha!
I'm sure you all hurt about as much as she did! Thankful there is a vet you know willing to come help out, and glad things look on the mend for now.

Hey nice background!!! It really pops!

Que suerte that Jarlen is in Paraguay now! :) Maybe Sasha will be calm for a second. But probably not.

Awwww. Poor Sasha. At the same time, I'm grinning alone here because you are treating her like one of your kids! :)
