There was a time when Thunder was not his crazy self. It was about a year ago when something sad happened....
It was a cold November afternoon at the South Burlington dog park. Thunder was running around crazy with another dog when all of a sudden they hit a mud puddle. They slipped and rolled over each other. When Thunder went to get back up, he cried and fell down again. Adam, my boyfriend ran up to him, but the dog he was playing with all of sudden turned, starting to bite Thunder and Adam. Adam had to fight off the other dog to pick him up and run him to the car.
His leg was broken and he needed surgery. Three-hours and $3,000 later, there were two pins and a wire holding my puppies bone in place. Luckily we had pet insurance that covered half the cost of all the vet bills. Unfortunately 9-month old Thunder had to stay calm and inside for 3-months!
Here's some pictures from his recovery:

Wow poor puppy. He looks so sad laying down like that.
Aww, that is so sad! I can't believe that other dog freaked out like that! I'm glad that he got better!
Oh my goodness... Poor pups, but so funny! Wow $3,000- animals can be so expensive but so worth it! My puppy Charlie <3 -RIP- suffered from epilepsy, and the vet bills were so expensive!
Yeah, it's great to have pet insurance when these things happen! I'm sorry to hear about Charlie, that must have been rough to watch your pet go through that.
