Cry Havoc! - by the "Dog of War"

Bow... OW!

So.. mom had to take me to the vet again. Yep. This time, I was playing with my brother and my friend Mila out in the yard, and mom saw I had blood ALL OVER my legs. Not that it slowed me down or anything... I AM a Border Collie, after all.

So what does she do? Makes me come INSIDE, and lets my brother Apollo stay outside with Mila! How unfair is that? I'm the one that gets hurt, and I'm the one that has to be inside. So mean. She's always doing stuff like that to me.

Anyway, mom looks at my leg and doesn't see anything wrong, then she looks at my feet. OW! That toe HURTS! She was really careful, and washed all the blood off my legs and my feet. I let her, because she was being good and didn't hurt me. It turns out that my one black toenail is bleeding all over the place... and it won't stop! And it's SIDEWAYS! OW!

Off we go to the vet, and it's someone I don't know, but he was nice and gave me a cookie, so I like him just as much as I like my other vet. He looked at my toenail, and made mom hold my nose so I'd keep my face away. I wanted to watch! I guess it wasn't too bad, he just clipped my toenails short.. and the hurt toenail EXTRA short. He said it's so it won't snag on anything. We have to watch it to make sure it doesn't get infected. I told mom I'd keep it nice and clean so she wouldn't put a bandage on it. I hate bandages. Bandages lead to things like The Cone. *shudder*

It looks like I'm going to be fine, so I'm off to nap on the couch! Bark atcha later!
