Garrison's torn paw pad has healed nicely. He was given a clean bill of health from his vet a couple of days ago. If only his health was still clean.

Every month or so, the kids (Lucy and Garrison) get their hair and nails done. They have a hair dresser (or groomer if you must) named Beth. Only Beth decided to get knocked up and had to take maternity leave. She didn't consult us, so we kind of felt like maybe she valued her family than us. :o)

Because our kids were looking nappy, we had to opt for an unknown hair dresser. Shouldn't be a problem right? I mean, how much could she mess up a haircut? *sigh*

Manda picked the kids up from their appointment this morning, only to notice Garrison was bleeding from his back right foot. Odd. He wasn't bleeding when we dropped him off.

Before Manda could even get an explanation, his nail fell off. Yes FELL OFF. Off to vet he went again. Free of charge this time. Free because the hair dresser people paid for it. (The kids get groomed at Petsmart, which thankfully also has a vet)

The hair dresser's only comment? "It could not have happened when I was clipping his toe nails." Hmm. That's kind of like a kid saying "I'm not doing anything" without being solicited.

Thankfully. Her coworkers were much more apologetic. They explained it was a direct result of his nail being cut too short.

Watching Garrison walk now is quite hilarious. He lifts the wrapped foot up much higher and sticks it straight back when walking. Poor guy. Not only does he walk funny. His hair cut is bad. Next thing you know, he'll start getting pimples and require glasses.

Hopefully, Beth's pregnancy situation resolves itself quickly. The kids won't have another appointment until Beth is back. Not just because Garrison is now missing a toe nail. But because his hair cut is atrocious. Atrocious like a two year old cutting their own bangs with dull scissors.

Beth. Use birth control next time! :o)

Does anyone know where I can get some Lee Press Ons for puppies?

Peace Out.
