Gambler is the Rehab Warrior since he is a dare devil and decided to jump up on the truck and then when I yelled at him to get down he hurt his paw on the way down.
He wasn’t on the tool box this time, he was on the hood of the truck eating out of the chicken food bucket. I didn’t have my camera at the time and didn’t want to do a reenactment so you get this picture for the visual. “Get off there Gambler before you get hurt!”
This all happened last Sunday night. He didn’t seem like anything bothered him after he jumped off the hook until Monday night when I got home from work he was holding his paw up in the air. Rimadyl was started and off to work he went with me on Thursday for an exam.
Ruh Roo it’s x-ray time.
x-ray of my left front paw, put the right in with it for comparison.
x-ray was normal no broken bones thank goodness.
Ice is in order.
Lots of rest is in order too.
Gambler joined a new virtual fitness event PetsMove.

Silly Gambler. You are not MK always to be jumping on and off high things. Get well soon!
Thank goodness he didn’t break any bones!
He is all good.
Hi Y’all!
Gambler, you are no gentleman!
Me? I’d never think of eating my Human’s supper, much less jumping up on any part of the car! Yes, I’m a boring, good boy and a “brown-noser”.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Hawk, I need to send Gambler to you for some good boy lessons. How about tomorrow?
Oh no! Poor Gambler. Hope he heals quickly!
He’s all mended up already.
Oh Gambler, you need to be more careful when you get into mischief! 😉 Wooooowoooooooo!
Right???
Ouch! Hope Gambler legs heals soon and glad to hear nothing was broken!
He is such a rehab, he is doing good.
I love your bed! It always amazes me that your big dogs are such mountain goats. But it doesn’t surprise me that they’re eating chicken food! Mine do the same dang thing.
Everyone of them is a mountain goat.
Hope Gambler’s foot heals ASAP!
He is ready to get out and go.
Poor G-Man, glad it’s not more than a hurt paw and pride. Mend soon my friend!!
Me too!
Thanks for the write-up on PetsMove. We’re getting lots of people joining and MOVING! It’s great fun. And poor G’man – guess that chicken bucket was just too attractive. I hope his rehab goes quickly – looks pretty comfy snoozing on that bed with the rest of the crew! We’re glad to have him on PetsMove as one of our Rehab Warriors!
You are so welcome, thank you for putting him on there. He is going to be back in action this wed.
Mmmm. Chicken feed. Irresistible! Glad there were no broken bones! Hope he heals up quickly. Getting injured and trips to the vet are not the right kinda mischief!
He’s lucky I work for a vet and get a discount! 🙂
Oh, Gambler, maybe you should have had a parachute! Glad to hear that nothing’s broken, and that your mom gets a discount. 🙂
I thought it was a trick question because I couldn’t find the difference between the two paw x-rays 🙂 Glad nothing is broken.
