Poor Aggie

Poor Aggie. The other day he came into the house limping a little. I didn't think much of it. But then I noticed he was really licking his paw. He sat down by my feet and then I looked down. There was a little black thing. Turns out it was his little claw. The thing had snapped right off. His poor little paw was bleeding.

Kristen sprang into "super mom", she got some gauze and tape and bandaged him right up.

When he first walked in he was hardly limping. Once the bandage was on he was really limping. Milking it for all that it was worth. The next day I got worried. I wasn't sure if he was limping because of the badge or something worse. So I tried to take the badge off. But Aggie wouldn't have anything to do with that. He was yelping like crazy. So I changed tactics and cut the bandage off. He tolerated that. The rest of the day he sat on the couch trying to look pitiful. That was a couple of days ago. He's no longer limping and back to chasing the birds in the back yard.
