Xray

Caring for our dog, Scout, has led us to so many lessons and life learning.  We got Scout from a local breeder when the kids were 4 & 6  years old, so she has always been apart of their lives.  

Scout loves bird hunting, camping, and being with her family.  She is everyone's dog.  Hunts with my husband and son, runs each day with me, tucks my son into bed each night (leaving his bed only once he has fallen asleep), and enjoys all my daughter's training ideas and homemade treats.  

A few years ago on a bird hunt in the snow with my husband and son, she stepped into a badger hole and hurt her back leg.  The next day when she wouldn't put any weight on it we took her to the vet.  He performed and exam and x-ray then informed us it was fractured.  We cared for her diligently for weeks, sitting with her carrying her outside to potty, and keeping the leg wrapped.  

This was the first X-ray, we experienced so the kids also were interested in the body and bones, how they break, and how they repair.  So between caring for Scout, we dove into the human body. Exploring diagrams, games, and puzzles that demonstrated how the bones work together in your body.  

Always learning.
