Just heard from the vet a little while ago (and Gichi Manitou, chi mi'igwech for Dr. W!). He's responsive, able to lift his head, able to track movement, so she thinks the concussion has done no permanent damage. They had to remove part of one toe that got badly torn, but apparently no broken ribs, and his respiration appears to be stabilizing. She thinks he could probably come home today, but she's keeping him until Tuesday just to make sure. I'm just so profoundly grateful that what could so easily have been fatal appears to be something that will mend virtually completely. (And maybe now he'll stop launching himself over the fence . . . . Nah. Never happen. Gotta get a better cable.) Thanks, Steve!

I hope he recovers fully. We'll be thinking good thoughts to you and your mother's 100-lb. dog. Please take care of yourself too, Lilith. Oh God. I hope he recovers fully.
