Doggie Trauma, Cameron's Quilt, Shower!

Yesterday, Dan took me out to dinner and when we got home, the dogs were suspiciously quiet. We didn't think anything of it and let them outside. We looked in the office, and sure enough, the dog food was pulled out, and they had been eating it right out of the bag. We let them in, and I noticed bloody paw prints all over the house! I told Dan- one of the dogs is hurt! I wonder if they stepped on something outside!
On further inspection, Cocoa and Buddy were both hurt. They both had scratched up bloody noses, and Cocoa's foot was torn wide open. She should have had stitches, but it had been too long so I did some major wound care and cleaning with Dan's help and bandaged her up.
The only thing we can conclude is that her and Buddy must have gotten into a brawl right before we got home over the dog food in the office!! It's always when you are gone that the naughtiness comes out!!
I know she is in pain, she won't walk on her foot at all, and pants really hard. I called the vet. I am keeping her foot clean, watching for infection, and luckily she can have tylenol without having to take her in!




I decided to get crafty and make my first quilt by myself. I have tied multiple quilts before, but never pieced one together, and never finished one. I found this way cute pirate ship and pirate theme material in a shop in Gardner Village and I made Cameron a crib sized quilt. It isn't perfect, the edging was kind of hard but I am pretty proud of it!!



Then today, my best friend Sheri threw me a baby shower. It was really nice. I had a few friends is all but it was so nice to visit and get some items for Cameron. My camera battery was dead, so unfortunately no pictures. I appreciate all my friends taking time to shower me and baby boy with love!

Dogs always show their true colors when Mommy and Daddy aren't home. I have my share. I'm just sorry that there were injuries, but it's a good thing so far that you're able to take care of Cocoa without going to the vet. Vets' are expensive.
You did a great job on the quilt. SUPER cute quilt.
Already I know you're going to be a pro in no time when it comes to Mommy roles. Congrats, I can't wait to see pictures of Cameron.
