Shadows story almost turned into a sad one on Saturday , I was fixxing the lock on the garage door , when I had to rush to the washroom , while I was there I heard Shadow come in the house thru the back patio door , which he has turned the screen a curtain flapping in the wind , i heard him head down the stairs , and I was thinking I bet I left the doors open that lead out to our laneway , By the time I yelled at my wife who was in the back yard it was already too late the next thing I heard was a thud and a vehicle stop . I figured it was over for him . my wife ran down the side of our house as Shadow came running up towards the back yard as he was carrying his back left leg and not putting weight on it , he ran for his spot at the patio door on our deck , by the time I taklked to the fella the fella that stopped , luckily it was a person who lived nearby and he wasn'rt speeding the way most cars do on our road . I found Shadows collar on the road and thought it was blood also , but it was just a marker for water lines that was put there the day before , I ran to see Shadow and my wife had him calmed down , but he was shaking and really scared . but he got up and put a little weight on his leg and started walking around on it , after about 5 mins he quit limping and seemed ok , We got him in to the vet and he checked him over and figured he was ok , except for bruising and a little scratch inside his right leg . We brought him home and watched for any blood in his urine or stool and he has been ok . I kept him calmed down for the rest of the weekend , as much as possible , and he is up to his old ways . i just wanted to remind everyone how fast it can happen , also the collar sems to be a weird thing , because it was a new plastic clip together one maybe it saved him when the palastic clip broke and let go , otherwise if it had caught on the vehicle it may have dragged him .
We all breathed a sigh of releif and are grateful for how lucky we all where , and I told Shadow not to use his nine lives because were not sure how many close calls he has had before and also that he isn't a cat
