Pet First Aid and Sam
Every time the boys and I go for a dog walk, we have to go by some rose bushes. Well today one of the thorns got ahold of Sam's ear. I didn't notice it until we got home and I saw blood on the wall. The first thing I checked was his tail. He has split that open twice before. No, it wasn't his tail. Then I checked his mouth. It was up on the wall about 2 feet so I knew it wasn't his paws. Then I checked Buddy. Finally I noticed the blood on his ear. So, my American Red Cross First Aid paid off today. (Or perhaps it was the first aid training I remember as a kid.....) anyway, apply direct pressure. After 5-10 minutes of doing that, it has almost stopped bleed and Sam is glad that I am no longer squeezing his ear. Hopefully it'll stop completely... I keep checking it and I think it will.
Merry Christmas from Sam & Buddy
Sammy is singing along with the Chrimstas tunes.... I think at the time I was listening to James Taylor's Christmas cd. Funny that that is what it looks like and I am very lucky to have gotten this shot.
Buddy is relaxing in front of the Christmas tree on the dog bed he got for his birthday.
Bonnie, yellow lab is available for adoption
Bonnie is in foster care with Lab Rescue NC which is the rescue group we used to find our Buddy. Take a look at Bonnie.... there is a picture of her at the end that is just precious where she is laying on the deck. I've also not seen a dog getting water therapy before so that was interesting to see. Click here to see the video.
