Thank you. You are a great photographer. I loved the story. It means so much to know that people care. I mean it when I say, thank you. 
I hope that you find a good reliable car for her. So is she ok? Yes, it does always seem to be something. 
Oh wow, I didn't know that she had more colors to her. How pretty. Bella is adorable.20kidsonhill said:
It was a tough night, she was driving and had a girlfriend with her, they were both taken on backboards to the hospital and a series of x-rays done, My daughter also hit her face on the steering wheel and her knee under the dash board, or on the CB, we aren't positive, She was covered in blood, but it ended up being a couple smaller cuts. totalling 17 stitches. no broken bones, but lots of bruises.fortheloveofgoats said:20kidsonhill said:
My kids found her while they were driving home, she was walking in a ditch on the side of the road, We figure she was 5 or 6 weeks old, she weighed a little under 5 lbs. She had never had solid food, based on her inablity to eat it, so we would make her a mash and spoon feed her for a few days until she got the hang of it. she is a good dog, good listener, but skitttish of strangers. Takes her a while to get used to new people. and she runs and hides when she is upset, which is pretty often.fortheloveofgoats said:Oh wow, I didn't know that she had more colors to her. How pretty.

Oh my, I couldn't even imagine going through all that. Happy to hear that it was some stitches and some bruises, and no broken bones. I bet that scared the heck out of her.20kidsonhill said:It was a tough night, she was driving and had a girlfriend with her, they were both taken on backboards to the hospital and a series of x-rays done, My daughter also hit her face on the steering wheel and her knee under the dash board, or on the CB, we aren't positive, She was covered in blood, but it ended up being a couple smaller cuts. totalling 17 stitches. no broken bones, but lots of bruises.fortheloveofgoats said:20kidsonhill said:
they didn't stay at the hospital over night, they were both released after the x-rays and stitches. they both missed a couple days of school and my duaghter was on crutches for a week to 10 days from her knee.
Thank you for asking.
That is great that you guys took her in and took care of her, and kept her. I love hearing about stories like that.20kidsonhill said:My kids found her while they were driving home, she was walking in a ditch on the side of the road, We figure she was 5 or 6 weeks old, she weighed a little under 5 lbs.

Does she have one person that she loved to be with the most? I was just wondering because my parent's have a dog like that, and when she is uneasy, she likes to be by my parent's.
a couple weeks later we were driving down the road, and a deer jumped out while my husband was driving, she was in the 2nd row of seats. She screamed, he was slamming on the breaks, and then she just starting crying and crying. It took us a little while to get her driving again. Of course she could drive on her own, but we started out with her driving with one of us in the car, and on a familiar road, She was very hesitant, she would slow down for everything, and you could see her hands shake on the steering wheel. That was 4 or so months ago, she just had a court appointment for it, yesterday, because the police officer gave her a reckless driving ticket. Although there were no other cars involved, It is a law in VA, that if your car has more than 1,500 in damages, then he has to give a reckless driving ticket. Since she is under 18, in VA, that would have meant she would have lost her license until she was 18, she is going to be 17 in May. The judge said, that as long as she doesn't get any more infractions until this July, he will drop the case and take it off her record. So we are limiting her driving a little bit. Plus we never replaced the vehicle, so all she has to drive is our family vehicle, which I dont' want her driving unless she has to. Now that we are done with the court date, we are going to look for a honda civic for her to drive.fortheloveofgoats said:Oh my, I couldn't even imagine going through all that.

She seems to love being around all of us and our kid's friends, and the day care kids and their parents, as long as she has had time to get to know you. although she does seem to have a special relationship with my husband, But he would leave her sit up on his lap at night, while watching TV and I don't let the dogs on me. He kind of broke a house rule with her. "No dogs on the furniture or up on you."fortheloveofgoats said:That is great that you guys took her in and took care of her, and kept her.

Wow the poor girl. Well I hope that she is able to stay out of any accidents until July, well actually forever. I can't believe that you get nailed with a reckless ticket when no one else is involved. I don't think that's fair. I really hope that you can find a Honda Civic for her. Yeah I hear you on the learning to drive with a truck. I had to learn on a manual 89 Ford Bronco. That was so scary, but to be honest, I am happy. Now I can drive almost anything. Although the suv's and trucks these days are getting bigger and longer. I agree, so many decisions to make when raising a family. At times, too many. I really hope that all goes well for you and your family.20kidsonhill said:
