I though Saturday\u2019s excitement had come to an end so I wrote up my diary before the evening. I wasn\u2019t to know I\u2019d be calling out the emergency vet before the day was finished. There\u2019s no need to be worried, it wasn\u2019t anything serious, it was just very painful and I couldn\u2019t have waited until Monday. I tore my claw so that it was hanging off but not completely separated. It\u2019s a bit like you tearing a fingernail off and I can assure you, just as painful. Now on the good side, when you have an emergency on a Saturday night, you have to go and queue in casualty with all the drunks and Saturday night revellers. I just had to arrange to meet the vet at the surgery at 9.15. On the downside however, when they are going to do something painful to you, they give you a local anaesthetic so that you won\u2019t feel anything. With me it was one short sharp, painful, tug and the claw was removed. I\u2019m limping a bit and I had to have an injection as well, which I never enjoy, but I\u2019m ok and I\u2019m getting lots of love and hugs.<\/p>\n
The other exciting thing that is happening round here is that Shadow is in season. I don\u2019t think she really knows what\u2019s happening to her body but I have to say I think she smells lovely. Fortunately there is nothing much I can do about it, so there is no problem of having to separate us all the time, but Shadow isn\u2019t going out for walks at the moment so she\u2019s going stir crazy. She\u2019 says it\u2019s a real burden being a girl dog, but I cheered her up by saying I think she\u2019ll make a lovely mum. She\u2019s so caring and washes all of us in the absence of her own puppies to look after.<\/p>\n
