One of our girls

with Scruffy was knocked by a passing car on Thursday. We didn't see what happened but the car must have hit just her hind legs cos she was seen dragging her hinds and whining in pain that evening and yesterday evening.

As we knew that we won't be able to get her (she and golden gal and Scruffy has been out of reach even after knowing them for more than a year - the most Scruffy would come near me and eat from my hand warily and sometimes allows me to give her little scratches, but to reach out and hold/leash her is still impossible), I contact L to get some help. I think we may have made a good contact today who could help us with our remaining hard-to-get strays.

When we say our girl just now, she had somehow recovered much and looked almost normal. She could walk and run slowly about, though you can see she is landing very gingerly on her painful hinds and now and then she'll lie down and lick her aching parts.

But she could sense we were there to catch her to the vet and very soon hid herself among the bushes and under the containers. There was no way we could reach her today and we had to give up as we have to go on our route.
