Ok, I couldn't resist the title ;)
But seriously, poor Cam had an incident tonight with a cat food can. Nicki is AWFUL at taking cat food cans out of the recycling bin to lick them out.... then she leaves them laying around anywhere downstairs. I've been rinsing them out, but it seems grandpa is too lazy to do so. He KNOWS Nicki steals cans from the bin so rather than rinsing them like I do, hubby tosses the gooey can in the recycling bin.... right out in the open & right at the perfect height for a sneaky pup who lives to lick out cat food tins.
You can obviously see where this story is going..... hubby fed Pouncer his wet food this afternoon and he dropped it in the recycling bin. While Cameron napped, Nicki raided the recycling bin and licked out the tin. She left it in the livingroom, where nobody except a crawling baby noticed it.
Apparently he managed to slice two fingers pretty badly. Blood everywhere. He was freaking out, Ashey was freaking out, and nobody else was home to even take him to the hospital. She finally managed to get him cleaned but he still cried for over an hour. He stopped crying when grandma got home and asked to see his boo-boo. Somehow I have a magic salve to stop baby tears (made me feel AWESOME) One cut is minimal, the other is "iffy" - somewhat deep and looks like it could reopen if he bumps it just the right way. We put antibiotic cream on it and wrapped his hand in gauze and covered that with the little mittens they use to keep their nails from scratching.
Poor little dude. :(
But, hubby learned a very valuable lesson tonight: do not leave temptation where its too good to pass up. Miss Nicki's not in trouble for something we know she can't ignore. Its the fault of the stoopid hooman who was too lazy to do what he KNEW he should have done.
