What a morning!

[KYS]

Woof Woof,
Rocky here,
I wanted to thank everyone for all
the great get well wishes.
The vet says my nail will grow back,
because he cut it down to the base.
I have a funny empty spot on
my toe now.
I get to stay in the house with Pepper,
and Sheba for a couple of more
days.
My human mom accidently stepped
on my hurt paw and I cried.
(I think I made her feel very guilty)

Well,
I have to go to sleep now so I can dream
about chasing squirels again soon.
Woof Woof and tail wags

Take care of that sore paw, Rocky, so it will heal soon. Poor little fella...what a bad time you've had. And your mom, too.

I agree with lizbud about Murphy's Law explaining when these pet emergencies happen.

What a scare you had! I'm glad Rocky is going to be OK. Several months ago I had to rush to the vet early in the morning before work. Bella was a young pupster and had eaten some wood chips from a tree that had been taken down in the yard. She looked as though it was stuck in her throat because she kept trying to do this sort of odd swallowing motion. I dashed to the vet and he said nothing was in her throat at the moment but to be on the watch for the wood chip on the way out. I was a little late for work but everyone there knows that my babies come first!

I think cornpowder would probably be corn starch (what is used for cooking).

Glad to hear Rocky came through this ordeal with no ill effects. I know it put a small scar on Mom's psyche. These incidents get the heart racing to say the least. You take care now Rocky.

Who is that Murphy person? Cause I don't like his law at all!!! If emergencies happened when you were bored at home, life would be dull and miserable
Poor Rocky! That's an ouchy!
If it makes you feel any better, my Cody ripped his dew-claw (ewww, creepy, tingly, yuck)and it bleed like crazy as I tried to catch him. Anyway, the vet said it would grow back and it did, the gory details you all can do without! So he was all wrapped up but probably felt much better than I did!!
Kisses to the Rock-ster!

Hi Rocky here,
Sorry I could not get back sooner,
my mommy keeps having darn computer
problems.
I am not a happy camper.
Mommy took me to the vet yesturday to
get fitted for an Elizabethan Collar.
I don't understand what the big deal is, just cause I like to lick my boo boo.
Well I guess because I keep on licking my boo boo, it is not getting any better.
Mommy even put a sock on my foot, but I kept taking it off, than she put some nasty tasting stuff, but I just licked that off too. hehehe
Mommy ordered some boots, so when
we go on vacation in a week I can go to.
If I do not where the boot than the vet office said I might get a nasty infection.
Ummm! Cody, did you vet put a bandage on your leg when you ripped your nail?
I wonder why my vet did not do that??
Thanks everyone, but I sure do hate
that funny collar.

Daisy here. Rocky I was so worried about ya! You take good care of yerself now, and stop lickin' your booboo cuz then you will get better faster. I am real glad you are okay!
Love,
Daisy and her Mom

I had to take Rocky back to the vet today.
His paw looked worse and was bleeding a little. He found a way to lick his paw even
with the Elizabethian collar on.
He now has an infection and is
on antibiotics. The vet put a bandage on
his foot until Monday. Hopefully
Rocky will not lick it after I take
his bandage off, or it will be back
to the vet for him. HE was not feeling
well today, and he left a soft
present on my off white carpet.
(2nd present this week)
His paw should have healed by now.
IF only he would understand not to lick
his boo boo or do that scratch dance
on the lawn.

Please leave your boo boo alone Rocky. You want it to get better and now you have some good medicine to help it heal much faster. Plus we all know how Moms worry and you don't want yours to be fretting over you, do you? Okay? Be a good boy now and make you know what you know where, not in the house.
