Sunday trip to vet (final update 8/22/14)
When I got up this morning the first thing I seen was Lassie with a 3" gash on her snout. I called the vet and he was already at the clinic for another emergency. I took her in and he put in 8 stiches...

Ouch!!!!
"Bottom of chain link fence": when we bought our current house, I noticed that the neighbor's CL fence was installed upside-down, with those deadly barbs at the TOP. It was kind of unfriendly, I thought, although it wasn't the existing neighbor who had installed it. So imagine my horror to look up one day just in time to see Ike, my Aussie, jump OVER the 4' fence to play with Rocky, the neighbor's malamute. EEEKS! Just one slip and he could have been eviscerated.... I ran out with a big pair of Vice-Grips and started bending over the barbs. The neighbor saw me, asked what I was doing, and when I told him what had happened, he grabbed his own Vice-grips and started at the opposite end to meet me in the middle!
