Oh my poor baby!!!!

Ok, so you all know from my previous posts that I've been a little busy. Friday night was soooo much fun! Our last guests left around 2am, then on Sat we had another couple over and they left close to 3am. We joked about seeing them at church on Sunday at the 6pm service rather than at 10am Sunday school or more likely the 11am worship service. To my surprise, C and I were up early enough to go to the 10am service a little late, but we would have made it.... til we heard it... our little baby was in the backyard barking and yelping. You know how you can identify between, "get out of here you stupid bird" and "oh my goodness! I just hurt myself" well, Sunday morning her barks/yelpings were of the "oh my goodness!" file. We went rushing downstairs and she came limping to us... w/ a bloody paw. Apparently, she got her foot under the fence and our new neighbors dog was kind enough to rip a piece of her paw off! She allowed us to cleanse it w/ some water but that was all she was willing to allow. We wound up staying home from all the services on Sunday to tend to our poor injured 10 month old. Monday morning we went to the vet. She told us (thankfully) that we did the right thing, we didn't need to bring her to emergency care on Sunday, we washed it, and we tried to keep her away from it. So they kept her Monday to do some minor surgery and I picked her up later that afternoon. So now I have a frustrated little funnel head. She is sooooo annoyed by the funnel around her neck. She even moans about it. Poor thing bumps into walls and furniture and it scrapes against the ground. She has a hard time getting comfy to lay down too! Since her paw is all bandaged up she doesn't use it, so that means she is hopping around on 3 paws... which makes her head bob, which makes the funnel bob too. Today we take the bandage off and maybe she'll use her paw again so the hopping and bobbing can stop. For now, here are a few of my little "funnel-head".
