Stella the Pug: A very rough day!

Oh my goodness, something bad happened this week. On Friday night around 2:30 AM I woke up and while still half asleep I knocked out one of my toenails. Yes, you read that right. It was so painful that my Mom heard me gasp! She had woken up around the same time I had with the noise I made (shhh!, I grunt a little to get my Mom's attention) and she had just turned on the light when she heard a noise, followed by silence and then she saw me walk around the carpet leaving a trail of blood. She quickly scooped me up and saw what I had done. I did not mean to, believe me...

My nail was broken really short and it was still attached to my toe and turned upside down, not a pretty sight or comfortable outcome. Mom took me to my dad and she quickly grabbed her first aid kit and tried to make a funny boot for my paw. Then she grabbed me, wrapped me up in a blanky and she and I went to sleep in the spare bedroom.

During the night I managed to get my boot off. When Mom got up to get ready to go to work she noticed my handy business. She did not mind. Mom just made me another boot with one hand while holding me with her other arm--my Mom is a talented lady!!! Then she got ready for work and we left so that she could drop me off at the vet. There, my nice doctor and some nurses took care of me and made me another boot. This one was blue and very professional looking.

I know that shoes are all the rage now with SATC2 and whatnot but I do not like to wear boots, especially non-pink boots! So as soon as I got a chance, I lost my blue boot as well. So now I am bootless, my toe is not bleeding anymore and I am taking antibiotics. I hope my nail grows back straight because I don't want to wear any more boots blue, pink or any other color...
