My Sore Foot

Been a long time since I posted, but I just haven't had much to write about lately. Last week Mama noticed I was limping, and when she looked she saw I had a raw spot on my pad. She watched it, and the next morning I was licking it constantly cuz it was botherin me. Well, Mama insisted it was getting worse and my licking was what was doing it (she's so dumb). You dogs know what she did? She put something called Neosporin on it and wrapped it up! That's right! She wrapped my leg from the knee down! I looked like the biggest dork on the planet, because not only did she wrap it, she wrapped it in HOT PINK vetrap stuff. Now...tell me how rediculous I looked being all white with a HOT PINK leg!

I tried to protest by wooing and showing her that there really was no way I could possibly lie down like that. I tried and tried, laying down except for that one leg, and then getting up again and wooing at her. You know what she did? Huh? She ignored me! She didn't even look at me. Well, the dramatic response wasn't working, so I finally gave in and just lay down.

It was sooo embarassing, the other dogs were making fun of me big time! I couldn't even go outside without stupid humans asking what was wrong with me. So much for being incognito in my dorkiness. Ugh.

Anyways, after a couple days of the neosporin she decided my foot needed to dry out, and the neosporin wasn't working for that particular purpose. She started cleaning it with peroxide (ouch!) and then putting gold bond powder on it per one very experienced human's suggestion.

It's been a week now and I've been bandage free for a few days. It's still a little tender, but I'm not licking it anymore and it's healing. She still puts the peroxide on it every day, but it's getting better.

I better be getting mucho dog park time for this!

PINK???? What was your human thinking? I'm glad your paw is better--at least you don't have to wear pink anymore!

Woos,

Oh, how awful! The humiliation!

I'm so sorry! I think you should claw her especially hard because the bandange was hot pink!

I'm so sorry about your foot!!! But don't use the peroxide too much, because it actually kills the skin and impedes healing. Use an antiseptic cleanser instead (pet stores should have them) as they will help kill any bacteria, but not harm the new tissue trying to grow and heal the wound.

My human is a pro at this sort of thing after a more than a decade of dealing with us and all our cut, scrapes, scratches, sores, etc.!!

Hope your foot is good enough for you to blog now. BTW Poseidon, do you have a Dudley nose too?

Oh, you poor thing... that sounds really sore, and putting a pink bandage on it is adding insult to injury! We wouldn't be seen out in such a thing, no way!

Hi Poseidon

The Dona Nobis Pacem (Peaceglobe) Day has really caught the imagination of some blogging dogs. Up until now, the Catosphere has dominated, but Mimi, founder of the Blogblast for Peace (yes, it really does have that many names!) has sent out a plea for more peace-loving dogs to join:
