He's gonna have to learn to look both ways first

Herbie our mighty burmese hunter probably wishes he hadn't bothered getting up on Thursday. We wish he hadn't bothered, (and so does the bank account). Thursday night he struggled home with only his front legs working and well covered in blood. It appears he's been hit by a car, which probably isn't surprising since he has always considered the road is his own and the land across the road his too. He was luckier than he could have been, having a dislocated hip, a broken bone in the other hind leg, multiple bits of skin missing and some unidentified internal injuries that do not appear to be life threatening. He came home from the vets today and is going to have to spend three weeks in a cage while the hip heals and another month or two inside.

Eight lives left.
