Last night Gretchen and Kim were over and I had locked the Pack outside. Randi Unadopted took it upon herself to try to get inside via climbing on top of the swamp cooler in the window which is at least four feet off the of the ground. She scaled it several times and I had to get up and yell at her and finally I let them in because I didn't know how to keep from her from doing it again. Gretchen said, "You know you're rewarding her bad behavior." And I replied, "I know, but I'm wearing a back brace!" (Actually Gretchen offered to discipline the dog for me because I am in a back brace.) When I let them in, they were remarkably all well behaved and didn't bother anyone and Randi had even put herself to bed at 8:30pm, which is not normal.
Well, that's because today I discovered that Randi Unadopted ripped off her toenail climbing on the swamp cooler. It's the one that hangs off the side of her paw- whatever it's called. She ripped the entire outer covering and part of the nail. No wonder she was so docile last night and this morning. I called the vet because when Clark did that it cost me $150, which was shortly after Sarah had to have a mass removed from her ass for $300 and so I was trying to figure out how I was going to get Randi to the vet and who was going to take her. Lucky for me, the lady at the vet said all I need to do is "soak it in benadine for 30 minutes every day." No problem. Now I just need to take Randi to the vet to get the tranquilizers to get her to sit still for 30 minutes a day while she gets a pedicure.
Puppy Clark when he ripped out his toenail.
(He was so doped up from the medicine that he couldn't remember how to lay down and I had to move his feet for him.)
