I did not stop to take pictures but I had a bloody, and pricey, mess on my hands Monday. My dog Spot Boy, aka "Big Head," managed to puncture his paw, we do not know what on. nicked the artery. Had to take him to the animal hospital and have surgery done. That was a quick $500. Reckon I won't be restocking the cellar anytime soon! Sigh. Poor pup is now wearing "the cone of shame" and he HATES it.
I feel for him, I am in a walking cast myself. We are quite the pair, trying to get up the stairs into the house after his bathroom trips. Me trying to pick his front end up, while standing on one leg, and that one with a bad knee. Him in his "cone of shame," getting it caught on the steps and limping. LOL. He growls at me, I growl at him, we get to the top, plop down and lean on each other while we catch our breath.
Here he is as a puppy BTW
And with my wife and our other dog, Spotty, They are not actually related. Big Head is the one in the back
He is a hard headed critter, tends to growl and bite some but he is loyal as can be and we have been working on his attitude since I got him from the....well, since I got him.
Injured pup.

Oh yeah, Spotty is the FIREBUG. Not Spot though. I know, it confuses me too so I just call Spot, the injured party here, "Big Head." LOL His head IS kinda big but pretty empty. Still, he is loyal as can be and sweet, in his own way.
"Spotty" has a pointy head and is slim, sleek, agile and FAST. Spot, aka "Big Head," is built like a fireplug and is my "bruiser." They both watch over my wifes little yorkie, Mollie dog. She is their little sister.

The little devil has learned to use his "cone of shame" as a tool now. Last night he use it to shove me across the house to the sofa where he plopped his big butt on my lap. It was like being pushed by a short bulldozer!
They are NOT related at all but are both half border collie. Spotty, the faster, more agile one is also half english setter. Spot Boy (Big Head), my big bruiser, is half...I dunno, ox? Water buffalo? Rock? Something along those lines.
