My Snow Day

I realized just now I forgot to tell you all about my very fun snow day! Last Wednesday, I had to opportunity to stay home with my two kids and dog and my husband had to leave for work. It was a pretty quiet morning. Ainsley slept, Jack played and watched TV, and I worked around the house. We took an adventure to Target (the roads weren't bad at all--waste of a snow day in my opinion) and came home to have a yummy lunch. After lunch and before nap, I decided to cut some of Roxy's hair behind her ears because it was matted and I needed to comb it, but before I could actually comb it, I had to get rid of the matted hair. So...I began to cut her hair. One cut...a-okay. As I was cutting that first cut, I smelled somthing funny. I began thinking that Ainsley was stinky, but let me finish Roxy's hair and I would change Ainsley's diaper and off she would go to napland. Second cut...YELP!! Oh no--I CUT ROXY'S EAR!!!!!

Okay, now she wasn't gushing blood, but when I looked, I felt like it needed more attention that me forgetting about it. So, now I had to call the vet. As I called, Ainsley begain climbing on the dishwasher--a FAVORITE activity of hers. She is so helpful at removing things for me! As I was on the phone and talking--actually trying to describe what I did wrong and I was pretty sure they were going to call social services for animals on me because of what I was doing, I smelled Ainsley and realized I needed to change this diaper immediately. I picked her up and was wondering why her butt was wet, but she was climbing on the dishwasher, so I'm sure that's what it was.

As I am in her room and finishing the conversation with the vet, I undo her pants to find POO!!! EVERYWHERE!!! Outside the diaper, inside the diaper, all over the butt of her clothes. Then it dawned on me--that wetness was POO! UGH...Load two kids back in the car, run Roxy to the vet, go inside the vet, wait, get back in the car, go home and wait for a phone call for Roxy...which didn't happen until the next day!

Good news--Ainsley has not had a major poo incident since then. Roxy spent the night at the vet because she had to get stitches. When she got home, she was acting drunk, which is common after animals go under anesthesia, and all 4 paws weren't working together. As of today, she is fine and is just waiting for those pesky stitches to be removed!
