Yesterday morning we had a vet appointment for our Monty. We discovered a bump on Monty's ribs and wanted to have it checked out.

| Name, rank and serial number... Dat's all dey'll get from me |
After much examination, some nail trimming and a very wild getaway attempt, it was determined that Monty's bump would have to be removed.

| Dey tried to bribe me with cookies... |
Monty is scheduled for December 2nd to go under the knife. Keep paws crossed that his bump is nothing to worry about!
Now, I wish I could say that was the end of our day and we were able to tell you about some exciting adventure we were able to take the pups on, but that isn't how the day turned out.
Aaron and I had just returned from grocery shopping when Harlow, in a bout of pure happiness, caught her toe in the edge of her crate and twisted it. She yelped and immediately started limping. I inspected her paw and felt something that wasn't right - her toe felt loose. After a frenzied phone call we put her in the car and rushed her to the vet.
 |
| Hurry, Momma. Da paw is not well! |
The vet confirmed what we were thinking - her toe was broken. There wasn't a lot they could do and sent her home with pain medicine and instructions to keep quiet.
 |
| Momma gave me dis pink bandage. |
Trying to keep Harlow quiet is sort of like trying to cage smoke - it isn't possible. We are keeping her on a leash and keeping a close eye on her, but she's still managing to use her paw more than we would like. I went ahead and wrapped her paw very loosely this morning to remind her not to jump on it.
 |
| Da paw isn't working right. |
Since we didn't see our normal vet yesterday, I fully plan to bring her to our normal vet this week just to make sure there isn't anything we can do to help make her feel more comfortable.
