It has been quiet recently. Today we had a lovely long walk along by the river, catching the last of the summer sun. Kizzie and Murphy charged about, splashing in the river, got covered in mud, then washed it off again.
When we got home Murphy was behaving strange, running around, laying down, back up again and bouncing on and off the soda. I saw a trail of blood across the floor and my heart sank. Got some tissue and patted the bottom of each paw, nothing.
I went over to Kizzie and the first paw I checked, blood. She has a nasty cut. Rang the vet for an appointment and gave her a cuddle whilst we waited. She was as good as gold as she was checked, her cut was cleaned and glue applied. She barely noticed the antibiotics injection. She waited patiently in reception whilst I paid the bill. Poor Kizzie isn't herself and has been asleep ever since we got home.
Murphy is fine, he seems to understand that Kizzie can't play, he has been quiet and he took himself off for a sleep in her crate this evening.
The hard bit is to follow, Kizzie can't have a walk until the weekend, and then only on soft ground for a few days. EEk

Poor Kizz. I hope she's feeling better today. So, what's 'soft' ground? Presumably the garden?
