Well, it seems that I have a habit of speaking too soon!!!! This Sunday, I took Duncan and Jack for their morning walk at the park. When I arrived home, I noticed that someone was bleeding and of course that someone was Duncan!!
He had sliced his front pad right down the middle. At first glance it didn't look too bad. The bleeding stopped almost right after I put pressure on it. He was walking fine on it. I soaked it in epsom salts and put some antibiotic ointment on it. However, when I came home from work he was limping. I took him to the vet this am. I had to leave him there all day because this terrible place I work at would not give me a few hours off to take him to the vet.
I started crying as soon as we pulled up because I felt terrible about leaving him. I thought to myself: "These people must think I'm nuts! I'm not leaving him forever, just for the day. And it's air conditioned in there and it's not at home. And I would be at work all day anyway...." But it didn't matter....When she took him in back and he tried to come back to me on those slippery linoleum floors, I lost it....
BUT, then I thought, in the car, "Oh, I can't wait to get to work and get on Pet Talk. They'll understand..."

He's just so sweet and loving and I just adore him more than anything in the world. I think I need to start dating or get a hobby!! LOL!! I'm addicted to my dog!! HELP!!!!!

Anyway, the vet called, no stitches are necessary. She said to keep it clean, start him on antibiotics and he should be fine in about a week...No more long walks for now though....
Looks like he and I will be cuddling and napping alot!!
