The best-laid plans of mice and men,
often go awry....

or as Rabbie Burns once said...
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley!

Anyway, today was going to be do a load of laundry
and then a relaxing afternoon of reflexology
or maybe get the ear candles done to ward off the last of my cold.

I haven't had a bad dose,
and the steam inhalations of lavender

has certainly done a good job of making me feel better.

But instead we ended up at the Vets.

Miss Poppy-dog has split her dew claw ( like your thumb nail)
right up to the quick and was bleeding everywhere!

She has had it cut right back,the vet warned us
it would hurt her and she might yelp and bleed a lot!

So we will do it on the count of three.....
1,2,3......nope she didn't bat an eye lid and did bleed
but not as much as Tilly did when she got her claw cut back.

She is all bandaged up and will have to wear her lampshade tonight
as she is very very good at getting bandages off!

She is feeling soooooooo sorry for her self,
and in the huff as I keep telling her to leave the bandage alone!

I have stack of cards to do but the moment I turn my back she is at the bandage,
and she wont settle anywhere except her bed in the kitchen.

Just as well Andrew is at home, he will keep an eye on her while I go to my appointment,
then I will be back before he goes out this afternoon.

The vet also wants Poppy to keep this dressing on till Monday!!

And to keep it dry!!
So she gave us the bag that used to contain fluids for a drip
but was out of date, so they empty fluids out and
keep bags for a make shift boot !!!
It makes a clip clop noise when she walks
and she tries to run on three paws and pull the bag off!!!
It is gonna be a long time till Monday!!!
