Under the Knife

Howdy all,
Shasta had a bit of excitement this week. Over the weekend she got a nice deep cut in her left front arm pit. Not sure how it happened, but expect that when she was running through the woods that she landed on a branch that punctured her.
She was not in any pain and it was not bleeding so I didn't think it was serious. But, on Monday I brought her in to get it looked at, expecting just a little local anesthetic and a couple of stitches would do the trick.
Well they took one look at it and immediately admitted her. They had to go in and clean it out. So she was admitted and put to sleep, had the wound cleaned and had 12 stitches put in to keep it closed. She stayed at the hospital all day and I picked her up after work.
We had friends from Montana staying with us (Greg, Marnie, Tate, Jeremiah and Geronimo (Shaq's Dad)) so they took care of Shaq. Every now and then Shaq would go wandering through the house to find Shasta. When she came home he came over and sniffed her wound and gave it a couple licks to make it feel better.
Shasta is fine and recuperating nicely, with a nicely shaved left arm pit (very sexy). She gets the stitches out on the 29th and can't go swimming until then, and should not be doing any heavy running and jumping (yeah right). She does not seem to be in any pain and does not lick or chew on the wound so I think she will survive.
Any way that is the update.
