Poor Ella!! I hope she gets well soon. Is Mac contrite? I am sure he misses her. Give him a pat for me and Ella a hug when shes well enough. Be brave Flake!!Yesterday I (suddenly) went off tennis balls. My dogs were competing for the same ball at the dog park and collided, the chocolate lab (Ella) came off second-best. (the puppy, Mac--a Huntaway X--6 months old) is bigger than her now.
Ella ended up in a screaming heap and I had to carry her back to the car. She spent the day at the vet today having x-rays under sedation. Thankfully no broken bones, but the slides have shown how bad the arthritis in her elbows is.
She's on anti-inflammatories for 2 weeks, then as required.
This is a pic that the vet nurse sent me today when Ella was waking up after x-rays. (note the treats under her nose, they were trying to entice her to wake up)

The pics below show how big Mac has gotten now. (the one of them on the grass was taken shortly before the accident)

Thanks so much everybody for your lovely wishes for the pups. 
Yes, Mac was feeling awful I could just see it in his eyes. And man, yes I got such a fright I thought she'd broken a leg for sure, it was so scary. I had to get a couple of kids walking past to help me with the gate and to hold Mac and help with getting my car unlocked.
She's home now and looking a lot more comfortable today. Still very lame on the left front leg but is putting it to the ground a bit more, so less lifting for me thank goodness!
Thanks again you guys, I appreciate it very much!

FlakeNoir you might consider something like this for down the line with any degree of hip or leg arthritis. Mackunya has a big dog and this device was a back saver.
...for Flake and the big fur babies..... 
Oh poor Ella!!! You must have been so worried. They are gorgeous dogs - that boy dog is some kind of handsome - and them sharing the stick - so cute!Yesterday I (suddenly) went off tennis balls.

Here is a new pic of Lily. She is 10 weeks old now, we've had her a month and she is growing like a weed! She misses Scott terribly when he is at work, especially day shifts. But it is oh so cute to watch her get over the moon excited to see him when he gets home! She thinks she is a lap dog, but that is not going to work in another month the way she is growing!

Wow - a blood hound - nice to have her around for protection as well - beautiful dog!
Scott can't wait for her to get a little bigger. When we take her over to the park and walk the pathway, people keep saying she is a basset hound. It irritates him.
She is already bigger than a basset, I think!
SK posted a nice picture of his two doggies on Instagram today.
So cute and still growinggggggggg.
From what I hear, Yoshi is the one who is most often on the literal "sh it list" these days.

Hmmm - wonder if he actually uses that treadmill? Maybe the dog is trying to tell him somethingFrom what I hear, Yoshi is the one who is most often on the literal "sh it list" these days.
Best to watch where one steps when finishing up on the treadmill!From what I hear, Yoshi is the one who is most often on the literal "sh it list" these days.
What a doll baby she is!!!
If she is anything like our pup, her size will not change the fact that she thinks she's a lap dog. Csonka will plop down over both my daugther and me with parts hanging off both sides of us!!
She is so beautiful Cat! (Mac still thinks he's a lap dog too... ooof! [<<<actual sound effect]
CAT I’d like to borrow Lily when she’s a little older. I’ve lost a few things over the years and maybe she can sniff them out for me!!
You can't recover what was never there... just in case you're thinking of your innocence.CAT I’d like to borrow Lily when she’s a little older. I’ve lost a few things over the years and maybe she can sniff them out for me!!
