Shay’s Back to 100%

Last week Shay had an emergency toe nail removal. Sounds painful, but I think it was pain relieving compared to the pain of keeping that injured nail. She came home with bandages, medications and a cone she had to wear.

Little baby was a trooper. She didn’t complain about the cone, and when we took it off she did not bite at her wound. She took her medicine, with just a little complaint. Mostly she was the best.

Today she went for her check up. She knew we were going to the vet. She would not get in the car. It took ten minutes of chasing her around the driveway before she finally gave in and let me pick her up. With all the running and hopping she was doing playing keep away from me I knew she was fine.

She got a clean bill of health from the vet and even the two other issues she has have gone away this week. Who knew that a split nail could be so bad.

Dog are such important family members. Even dogs we only know peripherally. Today we got word that Ripken the Durham Bulls bat dog had passed away. We loved Ripken and are so sad for his owners. He brought great joy to us at so many baseball games.

Love your dogs. Their time with us is much too short.
