Rosebud's Injury

The other night as we were getting ready to go play softball, we heard Rosebud out in the front yard 'yelping' uncontrollably.

When we got to her on the front porch we saw that she had a deep gash on her left front leg and was quite upset about it.

After we got both her and Aimee to calm down a little bit we paid a visit to the local pet hospital.

They gave her a local painkilling shot, shaved the area around the wound, cleaned it up and

closed it with a series of staples.

Rosebud was a model patient. She is now on anti-

biotics for a week or two and getting around just fine.

They wanted her to wear a cone around her head so she would leave the cut alone, but Rosebud was not very interested in having that thing on all the time.

Fortunately, she doesn't mess with the wound and so we don't have to put the cone on her.

We still don't know exactly how she managed to injure herself but our guess is that it probably involved her giving a high speed chase to a cat or something that may have come into the yard.

It's been a few days and the gash is already looking a lot better and it seems that she'll be just fine pretty soon. She'll have a nice scar on her leg but no other damage. She already gets around just fine and hardly favors that leg at all.

Luckily, we were able to get out of the Urgent Care fairly quickly and made it to our softball game just in time.
