soba the fighter
















yesterday i received a phone call from the emergency pet hospital—thank goodness for microchips—unfortunately there was bad news—soba was hit by a car two nights ago and has suffered serious trauma to her pelvic bone. she was in critical condition up until this morning. soba will be going into surgery in the next couple hours. she has been a fighter.

thank you everyone for your support, your love, your prayers, your phone calls/emails/comments. soba, nick and i have felt a lot of love in this hard time. she is so important to us. for those of you who have had the chance to meet soba, you know what an incredible dog she is with the most incredible personality. she has been such a great companion for us—being so far away from family and going through medical school.

continue to pray for her. the main concern is her nerves in her back leg, her brain function, her pelvic bone and her ability to control her potty parts.

we love you soba.

oh my freak! poor 'boba'. emery would be bawling if he knew. i just told him. he is bawling.

no, but seriously, i am so sorry. anything we can do?? you've had a rough few days huh. perhaps you and i should road trip it somewhere and ditch this state. chicago? okay.

call me and we'll come visit poor soba. although maybe emery isn't such a good influence if you're trying to keep her calm and still...

Oh Mich! I'm so sorry to hear about your pup. We had a pretty scary accident with our dog a couple months back too(not with a car, thank goodness), but it is heartbreaking! I totally feel for ya. Hope everything turns out okay. Love you guys!
