The kids leave, I stagger to the kitchen to make tea, and Hugo - TopicsExpress



          

The kids leave, I stagger to the kitchen to make tea, and Hugo nudges me -- I look down, and blood is streaming onto the floor. I cant bend or stoop yet, so I sit, and he puts a bloody right front paw on my lap. Looks like hes chewed his dew claw off. A frantic call to my ever-tolerant husband, more calls to Petcos for an XXL soft or inflatable cone -- none in stock -- and then to dear friends Global Animal Transport, theyll bring it right away, and Hugo and I sit and wait. My favorite vet retired last year, the back-up is terrified of Hugo and insists he be muzzled, and hes not available today anyway. So Roger comes home, we clean up dog and floor, make an appointment for the weekend vet, whom Hugo does like, and I crawl back to bed -- way too much activity for one day. Anything happens to Sir Huge, and theres no point in trying to recover from this godawful surgery.
