Poor Kobe

We had to take our little Kobe to the Animal Hospital last night because somehow he got a really deep cut on his chest where his leg meets chest. It was a really big gash and he was bleeding bad. It was so sad. We couldn't pick him up without him crying. So we put him on his little bed and carried him to the car in that. He had to be sedated so that he could be stitched up. He has about 15 - 20 little stitches. We are trying to keep him from bothering the stitches. We had a cone around his head but he did not like that at all. He slept from the time we got him home about 8:30 p.m. until about 6:30 this morning. It was so sad. But he started feeling better as the day went on. He is still tender and we have to be careful not to pick him up near the wound. Whenever he jumps off the couch or off the bed, he yelps a little bit. He is on pain meds and antibiotics so we hope he will have a clean bill of health in a week or so. He gets the stitches out in 10 days. Yay! We have no clue how he cut it but I know that he will probably be more careful when he is running around outside. Afterall, he runs about 180 mph in the back yard. It's pretty funny. So, I thought you might want to to know the little drama we had at our house. Other than that, we are all doing just fine. :)
