Yesterday we went to a car show that had over 1,000 classic cars on display. Matey was the perfect puppy, sitting when people asked to pet him and friendly with all the other dogs he met including an especially cute Goldendoodle named Cissy. We were having a wonderful day! When we arrived home I put my car in the garage and got out to get Matey, (I lift him out for I do not want him to jump out yet for he is only 13 weeks old and don't want him to hurt himself). When I held him and closed the door I closed it on his toe!
I thought I would be sick The poor thing cried for only a minute and then gave me kisses as I held him. He limped a bit last night around the house. No walks or playtime. This morning he still had a limp so I took him in to the vet and they had to sedate him and xray his foot and his toe is broken! I feel so awlful! The vet just called and said that he will have to wear a splint until his next appointment in 2 weeks. He will miss puppy school tonight (he has been the smartest most calm puppy in class too!) and stay inside except for potty breaks so the splint stays on. He has to wear a plastic booty to keep it dry when he needs to go outside. I will post pics of the poor thing in his splint And yes, I believe I do get the award for the bad doodle mom of the month
