Well, I've never had to write/type "Dog Gone" before... options: Dogone, Dog Gon, Dog Gone. Anyway, that's not the point. Poor Bailey Booster (as Coy's dad, Dr. Scott, calls him) has had a rough 24 hours.
Background info on Bays: He has had a very cush, loving, sheltered life. He has hardly ever even been told "no". This is for two reasons. He is REALLY smart and never does anything wrong and because he is a TOTAL scaredy-cat (pun intended) and so we try to refrain from freaking him out.
So, here's what happened: Coy was playing with Bailey and Ophelia in the backyard last night and our wonderful neighbor, Wiley, opened his gate to let his dogs come play. They ALWAYS play together. Wiley and Allison's pups are SUPER sweet, so this was not their fault at all. They have a precious Border Collie named Rowlin and a Golden Retriever named Lilly (and a Yorkie named Rufus, but he's not a part of the story). They were so excited when Wiley opened the gate that they came running through without noticing Bailey waiting right at the gate for them. He got run over in the excitement and started yelping. Poor Bays had a big gash on his him. We think maybe one of the pup's toenails caught him. We gauzed and bandaged him last night and took him to the vet today...
He got some little pink stitches, his teeth cleaned, and his toenails filed... and he's totally freaking out tonight. We feel SO sorry for him. This emotional stress is going to take him weeks to recover, but now we can let him kiss our noses (his favorite spot) because his breath doesn't stink anymore! The vet said his poor feet will be more sore than his hip. So, we're babying little Bay Bay and trying to keep him calm as his anesthesia wears off:)
On another note: I would really like to let everyone know how WONDERFUL Shelby Lynn's Bakery in Springdale is. We needed some cakes donated for the Children's Safety Center event so we went to both Rick's and Shelby Lynn's to discuss donating. Rick's Bakery wouldn't let me talk to anyone and said they don't donate product... period. Shelby Lynn's donated ALL 15 cakes for the event! They were ADORABLE and DELICIOUS! So, you can imagine that Kate C. and I are a little riffed and Rick's and are both very impressed with the generosity and community spirit of Shelby Lynn's. Being drug reps, part of our job description is to buy tons of food from bakeries, so we're dedicating our dollars to Shelby Lynn's and we think YOU should too:) That's my mission today:)

Poor Bailey! I hope he feels better soon! I must say I just laughed really hard because I was reading about him and you accidentally typed, he "got a cut on his him." I was thinking, is that her way of saying on his penis?!? Then I continued reading and saw "hip" I glad it was the latter of the two!! So funny!
Love the Bailey is going to be ok. Thx for the heads up on the bakery thing. I will send my business to Springdale!!!
