Fiona Stylin' in Pink BandageWell, we are excited. We thought we had more time to clean up the place but scrambling can be fun too.
Fiona had an accident which has her stylin' in her pink bandage. She was out running in and out of the garden and caught her dew claw on a plant and yeouch it yanked the nail hard due to her trying to pull her leg away.
So, off to the vets we went and they had to pull the nail out. (I have it) It was black at the base and was just hanging there but she wasn't crazy about you touching her. Think what a demon child looks like and you may come close. I don't blame her.
It was fast to remove but hurt. Yes, the nail will grow back.
Our vet still frowns on removing dew claws and after all these years, and all these dogs, this is the first time this has happened to one of ours ... well when she explained the pain, that removing them when they are 3 days old hurts, well it gives you pause. Is the pink bandage still on? Nope...but that's okay. It had to be there till it stopped bleeding.
Jazzy and Katsura have been playing up a storm. When Treasure tries to hog Jazzy, Kat just gives her a look. It's so funny to see their body language.
Jazzy gets a bath tomorrow and heads home. We hope to see him again soon.
Most of the crew got brushed today. You did notice I said MOST.
I have to update the puppies blog, which we will be updating daily from now to the birth till they go to their new homes. I didn't get hardly any photos in today but I promise I will tomorrow. I apologize.
We just been way busy playing, brushing, vets etc. I hope you understand.
RipleyI have been enjoying really special moments with Ripley. He's been playing some with Treasure.
He played with Kat today and he's been enjoying his walks. He is not enjoying having me brush him but I am still his fave person - I think. hehehehe
We share TV time together on my lap but when that brush comes out, he's okay but he would rather just watch TV so we are doing that too.
More tomorrow about this cutie.

Sounds like you guys had a full day, as per usual! I hope Fiona's feeling better and can get around despite her injury -- the poor, wee one! How long before her paw's all healed and the nail's grown back?
Nails grow back as slow as ours. I think it will take some time and be a tad itchy when it first comes in. It could have been worse, we are told and it could have split vs. just a break at the root. Fiona hated the pink bandage. I guess she's not a stylin' gal, after all. :-) But she is back walking on her leg and not holding it up. She's on antibiotics but today it's as if it never happened. For that, we are truly glad. Thanks for posting!
Love the new website. Fantastic. You guys get a "Gold Medal".
