Yesterday was a really sedentary day at work until about 4:30. We had fed the dogs and all of them were outside in a run. We were inside cleaning cages but a lot of them were barking so I went outside to tell them to hush when I noticed Koko. She had her teeth caught in the door (the doors are fencing like a chainlink fence) and couldn't get them out. She was bleeding and I totally freaked out. I ran inside trying to find a doctor and I finally found Dr.D up front on the computer. Thank GOD we were not busy! She ran to the back and tried to get her loose. With all the commotion Dr. Mitchel ran outside too. All of the dogs were still barking ... of course the whole time they were barking at Koko. While I started taking them in the doctors had to give her a sedative and once it took effect they literally took plyers to pry her off! We brought her back inside and waited for her to wake up. She had a lot of teeth pulled and this is the only way she was able to get her teeth caught in there.
I should have known -- about a month ago she got out of her run inside ... which was locked! She ate all of the dog food :rolleyes: She is a chocolate Lab, though, and what Lab doesn't eat all the food? LOL
And, ironically, another chocolate Lab named Cocoa (same name different spelling) came in as all of this was happening. She has a lot of medicine and I was telling Destiny that at medicine time she becomes a butthead. She won't take it in food, so you have to shove it down her throat. She has 6-7 pills each time and you have to do them all at once and run away or she'll eat you :( So I held the dog while Destiny shoved them and she started to try to get away, so we tried to back away and as we did that she bit both of us. She broke the skin on me and one of my fingers is sore and pretty much unusable. I wonder how I'm going to cook Thanksgiving :(
CRAZY DOGS!
