What do you want for your birthday? A puppy and tacos

THUD! You win! -
We've found that using a product called My Pet Peed also removes blood stains in the carpet. The blood literally turns clear when you spray it, then just blot up the liquid. The stuff is amazing. I think her nails are weak and break easily after the pool incident. I think she either snagged a nail on the carpet, or did it outside in the yard earlier in the evening. For a hound that never raced, she runs like a race doggy in the back yard every chance she gets. Bleeding is still stopped, but it's a typical Monday at the vet which means we aren't getting in today unless it's a true emergency. We have an appt for tomorrow morning. Gracie is doing fine and walking on it without issue. The vet is more of a precaution at this point than anyhting.

Last night I went to bed early and was in dreamland when Chris came into the bedroom and said that she needed help. Apparently I have sleep startle. There were bloody paw prints all over the living room and trailing outside. Gracie apparently ripped a nail at some point, and after going out for the last turnout of the night, Chris came back inside and found the bloody trail. We still haven't found the nail. I ended up having to muzzle her and rinsed the wound with warm water from a spray bottle, and eventually had to use some styptic powder to stop the bleeding. It was not going to stop bleeding and Gracie was not going to let me put pressure on it or bandage it. Gracie doesn't like to have her feet touched. Prior to coming to live with us, she fell into the pool at her previous owner's house and ripped out a lot of her nails while clawing at the sides of the pool until she was found and rescued. As a result, she does not like to have her feet messed with. The little girl who lays her head on my chest was growling at me like Cujo last night. We are waiting for the vet to call and see when they can get her in. I'm hoping they can numb the area and do a good cleaning on the wound. She is KNOT going to let us do it. The quick is exposed and she keeps trying to lick the area. It's always something.....

Mark goes out between 2 and 3AM to make sure the sky is still up there. At least I guess that's what he's looking at. But you didn't call DIBS! -

Definitely x-ray time at his age. Hopefully it's just from the corn but with the added swelling a vet exam with an x-ray is the only way to know for sure. Our LaVida started randomly limping one day but continued to run, jump etc like nothing was wrong. We did an x-ray the next day and it was Osteo. There was no sign that anyhting was wrong until the limp started, so we are always safe rather than sorry when we see a limp start. Hope it;s nothing and Blue is back to his old self soon.

You have no way of knowing what's going on with the teeth and bone under the gums without anesthesia and xrays. Scaling tartar is okay if the dog can tolerate it, but many cant. It's also not a replacement for a real dental check exam and cleaning. Doing those while your dog is young enough will help avoid having to put him under in his senior years to deal with problems that weren't caught due to the lack of real dental care.

Pretty girl, Myka! You know, we might need some broodie pics here too. (hint hint)

Mark says "thank you" to all of the enablers here. He had his fries tonight! None fell out where teeth are missing.
