Rut-Row!

When I was in the park today, I cut my left front inside toe. At first the cut didn't look so bad so we thought it would be OK, but as the morning progressed it began to separate more and mom realized it would need stitches. I didn't know what those were, but from mom's expression I knew it wouldn't be good. So Mom and Glenn rushed me to the vet.


My normal vet wasn't in the office, so I saw Dr. Yim, who was very nice and allowed me to lick her face.
After she examined me she told mom that I would need to stay with her for a couple hours so that they could sedate me and put in the stitches. I didn't like the sound of that and when they took me away I was really upset.


Once I got upstairs in the in-patient area, I met the rest of the staff and they were all so nice to me. Once Dr. Yim was ready they shaved my arm and gave me some medicine that made me so sleepy.


After I woke up I was told mom was on the way and I couldn't wait to see her. But there was something wrong with my leg! I couldn't move my foot very well. There was this funny starred bandage on my foot. How did that get there?

Before they took me to see mom, the vet-tech put a cone on my head! Yikes! I remember wearing one of those when I was a puppy. I look like a space dog. And now I can't chew off that bandage on my foot.

As I came downstairs, I saw mom and Glenn and I cried and was so happy to see them!

We went home in a cab and I spend the rest of the afternoon sleeping on the couch. I couldn't keep my eyes open. Good thing Glenn had the "lounging on the couch" experience so that he knew how to keep me company. Mom and Glenn put in Lawrence of Arabia and we vegged for the rest of the afternoon.

What a day.
