My poor Penny didn't have a happy weekend. Well, if it comes down to her it was probably an ok weekend but I don't think she really knows.
We had some errands to run in Salt Lake so J and I took her with us. A 3-minute trip to Costco, get gas - cheaper in the valley - and go to J's work to get some tools. Oh, did I mention that?? He left today for Colorado. AGAIN. I hate Colorado!!
Anyway, the parking lot there was empty so we thought it was a 'smart' idea to have her play fetch there, that way her nails will get filed on the pavement. Well, turns out - and now that I think about it, it was pretty obvious - it's not good AT ALL!! We saw blood on the ground so we called her to check her paws thiking her nail broke off or something. When she came to us we realized the pads under her toes had been scraped off. There was just a big bleeding hole and some skin hanging off. (Sorry if it's TMI) I felt so stupid!! How could I have even suggested that? Penny was still happy and ready to catch the next throw of the freesbie. Poor thing. We washed her wounds and bandaged the hurt paws (3 of them.)
When we took her to the vet yesterday he gaves us some medicine for her and said she will be ok but she has to stay inside, on soft ground and not go for walks for at least 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS!!
She is going to be so mad at me. I feel so bad.
