Ouch!

Buddy started licking his paw a couple of days ago until he had it so sore and was limping that I decided he had to go to the vet. I thought he probably had something in his paw, but that wasn't the case. He has a bacterial infection and it had to be shaved, scrubbed and medicated. Needless to say, he is now on pain killers and antibiotics to get the whole mess cleared up. Just the way he wanted to start off his 4th of July celebration,
one that he has grown to hate over the years. The fireworks never used to bother him, but seems the last few years he doesn't particularly care for them. Oh well, he'll have his mommy to hold his paw.
