On Thursday afternoon, Sophie and the sitter went to a pet store to pick up treats and other things. As they were leaving the store, a loud thunder freightened Sophie, and she ran into an oncoming shopping cart and hurt her paw. By the time they got home, it was bleeding a bit, and was swollen. We took her to the vet when we got home, and she had two broken toes, and an exposed wound. We had to try to keep her from running, and putting too much weight on it, and let me tell you it wasn't easy. It's a good thing she has plenty of chew toys to chew her frustrations away! This morning, I took her back to the vet to get her bright lime bandage changed, and they made this cute bandage with a little heart on it. I love the staff there, they're so friendly and caring. I have to go back on Wednesday, and the vet will decide then if she needs to be bandaged for another two more days or not. Wish us luck!

Poor little thing!!! She must be hurt!!! I hope she ok soon~~~
Thanks Charles! She was visibly in pain the first day, but by the second day she seemed to feel better. Now she's just frustrated because we can't let her run, or play with the kitties :(
oh no! poor sophie!! I hope she recovers soon, and meanwhile spend lots of time with her new blankie!
Oh no, the first time I come to visit your blog and this bad news!! Poor Sophie! Tell her I wish her luck!
Elisabetha: Since I knitted that blankie, it has become her favourite. I'm sure it's mostly because of its warmth, and size. As far as size is concerned, I seriously doubt she will outgrow it ;)
Jessica: Sophie appreciates your well wishes and promises nicer news in future posts :) Thanks for stopping by, and feel welcome to visit us anytime.
Ouch! How is Sophie doing now? Have you visited the vet again?
Jason: Thanks for asking! Sophie's toes are healing well. The vet removed the bandages, but as a result she now has to wear an Elizabethan collar. I will post a pic sometime this weekend, and updates on her condition.
