Awww bless.

Today my little dog had surgery to remove her dew claws.  She's either ripped them until they bled or torn the nails off on five different occasions and at last I decided that enough was enough.  When I took her this morning she was doing her usual sucking up rolling over adoration job with the vet until he picked her leg up to have a looksee and inadvertantly touched the dew claw she hurt last week.  Her whimper of pain was so pathetic that he actually blushed.

 

 

I fetched her back at 4pm. bandaged up to the gunnels - not that her gunnels are especially high.  She looks such a sorry little soul and altho she'll be feeling a lot better by tomorrow, her bandages have to stay on for 10 days.  No getting them wet, so the vet says.  Nil chance of them staying pristine for long no matter how careful we are as she's never been very accurate when it comes to lavatorial aim.  I'm awfully sorry for her, but I'm sure not going to be holding her over a drain to wee <g>
