I've been feeling a little under the weather, Memo Fans. I found myself back at the vet today after a little accident while running with a stick.
My friends and I were playing chase with a stick. I was very excited that I got it - I grabbed one end and ran away really fast. Unfortunately, my paw to eye coordination was not working as well as my legs. The stick was a bit lop-sided and got stuck in the ground. So even though I ran fast, the stick stopped dead still. The momentum forced the end in my mouth under my tongue and cut it really deeply.
That was a shock and pain that brought the game to a sudden halt!
Boy did I yelp!
I had to have stitches and am now on antibiotics and painkillers. The really bad news is that I'm not allowed to run around or play with tennis balls, sticks or other hard toys for at least a week!
The good news is that I have to have soft food so my kibble comes covered in gravy...oh, and I get lots of attention and naps on the deck with daddy, who seems to think my bed is his!
