Mishap at the Reservoir

Candy: Well, today was supposed to be an uneventful afternoon spent hitting tennis balls to Chase into Lake Pueblo. However, our rambunctious puppy launched himself off the shore and managed to cut himself on a rock in the water.

It's a shallow cut but it opened up about an inch and a half flap, so we called a vet and she said to just pack it with Neosporin and bring him in tomorrow to look at it. It doesn't seem to be hurting him, fortunately.

We put some stretchy gauze tape on it and, surprisingly, he's not licking it. He's not real sure how to walk with it on his leg, so it's kind of funny watching him move around. Have you ever seen a dog try to walk while wearing socks? Chase is doing that even though his leg is wrapped, not his paws.

We didn't do much else today because we were a little concerned about Chase. He seems to be doing ok and is really cuddly right now. Probably hurts a little.

I took this funny picture of Chase tonight just before he fell asleep. I think he actually likes having the bandage on. Even a puppy must like having a little TLC.

Tim and I are launching our first month-long physical, spiritual, professional, and mental fitness program. We hope to establish some good habits in each of these areas by the end of May, and also hope to achieve some great results from our efforts.

Enjoy your May Day!
