(sophia after her visit to the vet)
There are many things in the world that are heartbreaking.
Getting dumped, the lost of a love one, when someone you love get hurt. This past Friday was a nightmare for us. Our young puppy Sophia some how managed to break here left "Pinky" nail on her paw. There was lots of blood and of course one gay daddy freaking out and the other trying to stay calm about it. We call the Vet to see what could be down. They told us that it happens all the time to dogs and that they would have us come in with her and rip out that nail. My heart raced as i took in this. I didn't want our baby to feel pain or have to go through that. At 2:30 on Friday the Vet saw sophia and gave here some numbing jell at first to have it set in. They took her into the back office to start the process. John and I waited in the front room. Mind you that his vet office is an old house, so not much barriers to stop the sounds. We both her sophia yelp. I wanted to jump to my feet and demand that they stop and let her go. Than a second, and a third. I held back my tears, knowing that this will be good for her and she would not have pain. But during those yelps, I felt her pain. How scared she was to be in a strange room with someone about to pull out a broken nail. I just wanted to be there to pet her and give her comfort. I held on to John hoping that it was over and we could just take out baby home from such a tough day. It ended well with she was fine, just shaken up. She has to wear as collar so she can not lick her wound. As well she is on some antibiotics. She has been sleeping all day and will try to lick her paws. I am glad that part is over and hope that she does not have to do that again!
