Thorn in the Paw
April 16th 2007
My son had a piece of old rusty metal in his paw. This is the second time since I got him in…2002(?) that he’s gotten something in his paw from our backyard. The first time was an old roofing nail, this looked like an old piece of chicken wire. Old chicken houses that used to be up and were torn down and trashed by the previous tenant are no doubt the fault.
I had to have my friend Jake come over again to hold Bastian down while I pulled it out. Jake used to work at the same Vet that I did, and is the only guy I’d trust to help me.
But at least it’s out, and my son is all better, with a big fattening pigs ear as a treat for how brave the little guy was.

Oh th poor baby, I bet that was sore! He is such a pretty dog!
It won’t get infected right?

Nah, I put some Neomycin on it. I have a decent supply of supplies from my time at the Vet still.

Hi Crys! Long time no chat
Anyways, I hope your lil pet will get well soon. I’ve read some posts about your mother. I think her bond with your sister is the advantage she has over you. A parent-child bond can never be broken, esp if the child’s been attached to the parent since a very young age.
