Puir Wee Doggie

[madrobins]

As if the car trauma wasn't enough, we went to the vet this afternoon, and Emily has broken her toe, poor wight. She did it at the dog park yesterday--heaven knows how. So now the poor object is all splinted up and has two medicines to take--one is a doggie-NSAID, the other is doggie-Valium, in case she gets anxious or panicky about being pretty-much home bound all day. They gave her a sedative in order to set the foot, and thought she'd sleep most of the day. HAH! They know not my hound, who was up, about, and falling over herself to leave the vet's by the time she was brought out to the waiting room. "That dog has some metabolism," the vet said, with admiration.

I particularly liked the fact that the pharmacist, who filled the scrip for the Valium-like substance, put on the paperwork "Emily the Dog Robins." My puppy has a paper trail!
