    Never ever leave your already stressed puppy inside with other people if you are his/her favorite person home. They will come looking for you.

    All dogs should come with a warning label that says this. Angel did this to mom and Axel this morning. I had gone out to shovel a pittle area so someone wouldn't freeze our bum off in the snow, therefore leading to the first time she jumped up onto my bed. I was informed this shortly after I came in.
    Sigh..........

    Awwww, but at least she is able to do it, even if she's not supposed to! That means there likely was not too much muscle damage, and we already knew she'd pay very little attention to the bruising!

    Poor pup, no more picking fights!

    I know a temperature seems silly, but I know here in FL it's actually by law that we have to get a temperature, pulse, and respiration on every animal that walks in the door. Trust me, it's the last thing we want to do on an upset patient!

    The more I listen to Axel's chain of events, the more I'm convinced it wasn't another dog, rather, it was a coyote.

    Given that I'm going to assume it was a coyote, I'm thankful he lost control of the leash, and also thankful that the pup did her job.

    As to the attempts to take her temp, there are, shall we say, less invasive methods of taking a pup's temp than a thermometer shoved...

    Technology has advanced, guys. The instruments may be more expensive, but they also involve no consumables, as there's no contact with a pet with an IR thermometer.

    Well, all I know is, I was enjoying sitting on the loveseat with a puppy on my hip all day. It was very warm and toasty.

    I am also thankful that the boy let go of the leash and that the pup was able to come back to the house on her own. It could have been a lot worse than it was. And I have one very boy who is very happy his puppy is home and feeling better.
