Momma took me to the groomer today. I always go on a Thursday before I go and visit with the sick kids at the hospital. Little did she know I was to become one. When momma picked me up, we made our visits then we came home. I did not feel very well. I took a nap and when I woke up, I did not feel like playing. Momma asked me what was wrong and when she rolled me over to give me a tummy rub she found that I had been gouged with the eletric clippers under my left arm. She called the groomers and they did not know anything about it. No incident report was on file. Momma took me to the vet and he was going to put me back together with medical glue. 15 minutes later, he came back and told momma that when he had cleaned the woud a bit, it was much worse than he first thought. I had to have anesthesia, and have the edges of my wounds cut and sewn. Momma counted 12 stiches on my chest, armpit and left arm. I hate my collar and promised not to lick my owie so momma lets it stay off as long as I don't lick. I tried once and she told me to Leave It in a stern voice and I have not touched it since. I cannot run and jump for 10 days. That's a long long time for me. I have to take antibiotics for 10 days and have my stiches out in 10 days. Momma was going to post pictures of my injury but they make her very sad so she decided to leave my my happy pictures up cause they look better.
