Follow me on Twitter Bruno is another new friend of mine, Bruno. I know how miserable Bruno is feeling now. Here he is, with his leg in an open-toed splint and his head in the dreaded Elizabethan collar, saying “Get me out of here!”
Bruno was injured – well, he’s not telling anybody how he was injured. He’s not even telling me how he was injured! Just like I didn’t tell anybody how I escaped from our back yard. (Still to this day my parents think they know, but they aren’t completely sure.)
So getting back to Bruno, his mom came home one day and found him limping. She did the right thing and took him to the doctor. He’d somehow broken his own leg! Jumping off something, one would think.
Here is Bruno, sleeping! He’s in his sanctuary, here where he will heal…and not be jumping off of anything…Maybe! It looks like Bruno has his sister there to keep him company, a friend and sister who has her own sanctuary too! Bruno also has a nice soft comfy bed…in his cage. Perfect! And also great to rest his injured arm on.
It’s hard to know what Bruno is dreaming about. Probably something that he loves very much, something that he wants to do again, and soon, as soon as he gets better.
Bruno was supposed to have his splint on for five weeks. But three weeks after the splint was put on, his mom noticed that something was bothering him and she did the right thing again and took him back to the veterinarian. The vet discovered that the splint was hurting Bruno and that Bruno had some sores on his skin. And then the vet took off the splint. The air will help to heal Bruno’s sores.
I hope you get better soon, Bruno! I hope you like your doctor, and I hope that you get better.

Bruno, please keep me informed how you’re doing!
Your pal,

By the way, friends and readers, Bruno and his sister were both rescue dogs, so nobody is completely sure what breed they are. Bruno’s mom thinks that Bruno is part border-collie, although his coat is fairly short. His sister Molly is a lab (like me!) and pit bull (not like me!) mix and also a total sweetheart (like me!).
Bruno says thanks for the compliments!
And his mom says thanks for all the support!

Bruno’s doing much better, no more cast or wraps and his limp has been less and less visible. He still loves to run an dplay and seems to have put the whole ordeal behind him
Jessica and Bruno,
Hooray! Sounds like he just needed to strengthen his muscles, that had been weakened from weeks and maybe a month or two of inactivity.
I hope he continues to feel better and better and enjoys running and playing and living – and stops jumping from furniture!
Thanks for being a part of my blog!
Your pal,
Joey
