Ouchie

Life with Tess is one thing after another...not complaining. Since I like to ride my bike, I thought I would introduce Tess to a new type of exercise. I took her out last week(we had a heat wave) and she did really well on Tuesday. So I decide to take her the next day. I don't ride fast, sometimes she will get up to a lope, but I don't overdo it for her.

Well on Wednesday we went out again...down the road, over a bridge, turn around, over the bridge, STOP! Yup, she decided to stop right in the middle of the bridge. And being how I still had her leash in my hand, I dang near fell over. Don't know what made her do that, but we continued on. Then she stopped again half-way home.

When we got home, I got off the bike and was going to take her inside when I notice blood on the ground. Wasn't mine. Tess had skinned one of her front pads. Funny thing was, she wasn't limping around as she trailed blood all through the house(luckily I have wood and vinyl floors, easy cleanup). So I bandaged her foot up to stop the bleeding. She didn't mind it, but she decided to walk funny once the bandage was on. I used some neosporin plus to help it along, and so it wouldn't hurt. She's all better now. Actually within a couple days she was bouncing around like a normal Vizsla. And last night she got a case of the zoomies(one of these days she's gonna break something).

Here's a pic of her worn out with a bandaged paw:
