No Dogs Allowed

Max came running in the house the other day yelling, "Mom, Mimzy's really hurt!" I walked outside, took one look, and knew we had to take her to the vet for stitches. It was 8:00 PM. I called the vet which gave me a recording of a pet hospital which referred me to a closer pet hospital. We took all the kids with us since they were all pretty upset. When we got there the Dr. said it would take about two hours to stitch her up and because it was a school night we took all the kids back home and came back to get Mimzy at 10:30. The bill was so much that I'm embarrassed to even write it. Plus there's pain killers 2x a day and antibiotics 3x a day. But she's much better now and we all love Mimzy. I just have to say if you don't have a dog I would recommend not getting one. :) Apparently, she got caught on the corner of a car trailer we have parked in our back yard. Tanner and his friend got a sock and duct tape and fixed it right up, because knowing Mimzy she will do it again.

 It sure hasn't slowed Mimzy down! We put a little t-shirt on her so she and Libby will leave it alone. She looks pretty cute in it.

Oh my gosh! That is a huge wound! It kind of gives me the shivers. You are the nicest mom ever to let's your kids have dogs.
