Faith my puppy

So Faith has had quite the time lately. First she was having some stomach problems, then she injured her front right paw playing Frisbee. Then while we were at the school near by throwing the Frisbee Faith sliced her back left paw. My roommates father said she could walk like an Egyptian...haha (get it right front paw and back left paw injured...ok so you would have to see his impression to make it funny).

Well, Since she sliced her pad on her back foot I have been playing nurse, soaking it, disinfecting it, putting second skin on it and wrapping it in order to heal it up. She is quite the drama queen about the hole deal as well. The first 2 days when we would go walking outside she would limp past her favorite guys at the sweeping company next door to get their sympathy...then as soon as we turned to corner she would trot. She loved to make sure that her bandaged foot was on display for all to see and her sad face was quite pitiful looking.


Initially I put a sock on her foot because it wouldn't stop bleeding. She really didn't like this and kept slapping and kicking her foot in the air and then plopping down with a sad pitiful look. At this point I realized I was going to have to do something else.


This was the final product after soaking the foot, putting second skin on it which acts like a glue, and then wrapping it. She was much more tolerant of this one though this is the one she like to prominently display for all the boys next door to give her sympathy.

After days of not being allowed to run or chase the Frisbee she has decided she doesn't like me too much and enjoys being with my roommate and her guitar. Months ago, not being able to be active would have been a very bad thing as she would have gone crazy but now as she is about to turn 3 she really seems to be settling and though she would rather go for runs with me she seems to be enjoying lazy napping all day.
