  • Injury filled week

    This is been a week from….
    Got my sides and leg scratched up from a squirmy miniature poodle with claws on it that went right through my jacket and shirt and pants right into my skin. Following day had a 2 1/2 pound Yorky puppy bite me three times and draw blood. Who would've thought. Third bite was right on fleshy part of my right hand so it hurt every time I moved it. The little bugger! On Wednesday 110 pound dog decided it was going to bounce up-and-down on my toes. Had to be the day I decided to wear sneakers instead of grooming clogs. My fault. Friday was handing a dog back to the owner and they decided that they weren't going to catch it properly so the dog scratched my chin. Don't ask me how but it just happened that I was dripping blood everywhere. Today a six month old Maltese puppy decided it was going to leap off the table and try to hang it self. I caught it with my left hand – unfortunately my forefinger got hyperextended and is now swollen to three times its size. And it hurts like the dickens. Fortunately I cancel all grooming for tomorrow – even my own dogs are getting brushed. Got a splint on the finger I hope that everything else heals. Some weeks it's just not worth going to work (wink)

        Thanks guys . My sister took me out for an Italian dinner, with wine, and I've got my feet up snd my pups beside me. If it wasn't for the time change I'd be real happy.
        Oh!!! Did I mention that on Thursday on my way back from a relaxing acupuncture treatment some 30 something on spring break backed her pickup into the side of car? I'd start this eeek over but I just want to be done with it. ��

          I hope you recover soon. I can relate to having more than one injury in a short time. I had a hurt knee, then got bitten by a cat a few weeks ago. My guess is that when a person has one injury, they're more vulnerable to a 2nd injury because they're sort of off-balance physically or emotionally. I have a theory about everything of course, ha ha.
          Take good care of yourself.

              Ouch HC, hope you can take a day off and relax at least twice a week. This sure would have me stressed. Like you say, let's get it out of the way!

                  Thanks all. Went in today and all went well. Even the 15 yo bichon with arthritis that hadn't seen a brush in months was manageable. Only 3 more days this week.
                  Taking Saturday off to work a booth at the Humane Society 'Walk for the Animals'. Taking my two small girls with me ( as shills')
