Poor Marley



Well one of those days.  Drew and his friend was doing a "handoff" of the puppy for Drew to put on his shoes and Marley jumped out of their arms and hit the hardwoods.  I was teaching science in the office and did not see exactly how he fell or what he hit.  Drew says his paw hit this wall table we have in the foyer.  I am personally not sure because I did not see it yet I was only 5 feet away.  Anyway he would not put pressure on it and kept crying we he tried to walk.  Luckily our Vet is at the end of our street (literally 30 sec.) so we ran down there for x-rays.   1 hour and $130 later our final diagnosis, Marley has a small fracture in his paw.  No pain meds because of his age and they do not want him to walk on it.  So I am carrying him around like a baby when he is not sleeping so he will not walk on it.   He will have follow up x-rays on Tuesday along with his 3rd round of shots.  Anyone like to donate to the Marley foundation?  LOL.  Oh well, that is having a pet for you.  At least he will be OK.
