My intention to read all the fic in the world and catch up with other stuff has failed so far this weekend.

It was going okay yesterday, and then on the night our dog slipped somehow and managed to rip off two of his nails. All I heard was a huge thump, and then Tex going onto his cushion, where I soon found out he was bleeding badly. By the end of the evening the house was resembling a grisly crime scene, bloody footprints everywhere, on the carpet, round and round the kitchen, along the passage. Cleaning those up when I wasn't feeling that hot anyway wasn't fun at all. Then for added not funness, one of the cats puked on the sofa.

Calling the emergency vet she gave advice, which is how Tex ended up with a stump sock taped loosely around his leg. She said if he was younger we'd have had to take him in, but he's an old man, over 17, so he doesn't walk far. He's asleep right now, but I'm keeping an eye on him. And also asking for a do over on these last few days. Anyone able to make that happen?

ETA: Neighbour has been and finished fixing the fence. There are some very lovely people in this world.

Poor Tex! That sounds horrible and painful.

I wish I could make do overs happen. My life would be so much more productive and happy.

Oh no! Poor, poor Tex! It must have hurt like hell. I hope his paw will heal without any complications. *keeps fingers crossed* And poor you, having to clean up all of that blood AND cat puke too. You totally deserve a do-over, I wish I could provide you with one. But yay! for nice neighbours!

I hope not. He's stretched out on the couch sleeping right now. It's been a shock for him.

Ouch. Poor Tex. Toenails bleed like a bitch. My dogs have solid black toenails so you can't see the quick when you are trimming their nails. Every once in a blue moon, I'll cut too far and hit the quick and then there are bloody footprints all over the house. I hope he's okay!

:hugs you: I hope you have a much better day, hon.

I was freaked just how much blood there was. Thankfully he seems to be okay today, a little stiff, but that's not surprising.

Thank you ♥

If he's in a lot of pain, you can give him baby aspirin to help take the edge off - maybe even a little bit of ice to help the swelling.

Yikes. Poor dog. :( That sounds terrifying. Hope the next few days get better for you!

(Also, 17?! Wow, what kind of dog is he?)

Yeah, it was scary.

He's a cross breed. Supposedly a yorkie/jack russle cross, in reality he looks like neither of those. So who knows?

Ow, poor Tex!

Your entire family has been having a rough time of it, it seems, including the fuzzy faces. :( I hope everybody starts having an easier time of it and gets on the mend soon.
