Poor Puppy!

Well … I’m trying to be more like Fred and NOT freak out …

But we just found big, huge drops/smears of BLOOD all over our kitchen floor, living room carpet, back stairs, back landing, etc.

!!!

Apparently, Lilikoi cut her paw on a sharp stick (Soph went into super sleuth mode to see if she could figure out what cut Lili’s foot in the back yard and she found the culprit) and man! Did Lili cut the pad of her paw.

I held her and applied pressure while Fred cleaned up the blood (I was TOTALLY sick to my stomach at a) all of the blood and b) my poor little pup curled into my lap) and now we’re in the clean it / disinfect it / put antibiotic on / see if the bleeding stops / see if we’re making an unplanned late night trip to the vet mode.

Oh oh oh! Blood all over the floor and a sweet, pretty much CLINGING to me pup is NOT what I planned for my night. I really hope the cut isn’t as bad as it seems.

Oh, and I really hope I can NOT freak out. Fred is such a calm little son of a veterinarian (no euphemisms intended–he really is the son of a vet). I need to be more like him.

Back to petting my fuzzy little one while we get our other little one down for bedtime.

G’nite!

Yours,
Tara B.
