Mischief Monday – My Boo Boo

October 21, 2013 by Millie & Walter

Hi everyone it’s Walter here. Now first don’t get too worried about the title of this post as it is only a little boo boo. You see a few days ago Millie & I were doing our usual zoomies around the yard when I had a close encounter with a tree branch. There was a loud crash and when Millie & I came out from under the tree we were acting like nothing happened. Truth be told not much happened, but mom noticed I had some hair missing from my side. Of course she kind of freaked out and came over and started touching me around the scraped spot. It kind of looked like someone had taken a razor and just shaved off a patch of hair. Mom gave me a good going over to make sure nothing else was bruised or broken and everything was just fine. Thank Dog I didn’t have to go to the VET!

Nothing serious…just a little flesh wound.

This picture was taken a few days after the incident and as you can see a nice scab has formed over the scrape. The problem is that in order to keep me from licking my boo boo until it fully heals I have to wear a shirt all the time.

Is red a good color for me?

I have to say that I have been really good about wearing a t-shirt all the time. The only thing I have to be careful of is making sure I don’t pee on it so mom always hikes it up a bit before I go out to do my business. It’s a good thing the weather has turned cooler so I’m not getting hot wearing a shirt all the time.

Does this shirt make my butt look big?

Mom says I only have to wear my shirt until the scab comes off naturally. I don’t mind I think the t-shirt makes me look tough.

On another note Millie wanted me to make sure I paid tribute to our sweet friend Mr. Pip who went to the rainbow bridge this weekend.

I didn’t really know him much, but Millie said she had a great time when he and Puddles came to visit this past winter. He was loved by all and will be very much missed. We will see you again someday Mr. Pip. Say hi to Angel Nina for us.

Oh noes, poor Walter. You have to be careful of those tree branches – Bridge once dashed under a shrub and got her eye scratched. Hope you feel better soon. You are right, red really is your colour!

I laughed about hiking up the shirt while they pee…I know that one well! Thanks for posting about Pip. Mostly I know about him from this blog, but I am going to visit there as well. Sam

We are so glad you only have a surface wound. That could have been so much worse. You look very fashionable in your red tee.
We were sad to hear about Mr. Pip. We think it is awesome he went on his bucket list tour.

We loved that shirt on you Harrison! Sometimes we get rather rough with each other when we do zoomies.

Yes, you look quite dashing in that t-shirt – oh and tough too of course! Glad it wasn’t a serious wound. Maybe your mom should make you a half-shirt. I think I have one around here from the 80’s… 😉

Walter, you are one stylish looking dude in your red shirt! Wowzer buddy!! We sure hope that your boo-boo heals real soon so that you can get back to being naked once again.

We too are missing Pip, but am sure he’s enjoying all those cheeseburgers in paradise.

Hugs,

We hope it heals fast and you can take off the shirt, but it does look good on you! Stanley had a bit of a mishap with a branch awhile back. But his was in a more personal spot..

Your Pals,

Murphy & Stanley
