My poor sweet boy!

Poor Toby, he just can't get a break. Yesterday while Toby was out in the back yard, some how he managed to rip off a toe nail. I think what happened is when Dave went out front to mow the front yard with our new John Deer riding mower, Toby went nuts charged the fence and while in his neurotic behavior caught his toe nail in the fence and ripped it off. Dave said he heard Toby yelp but continued doing his neurotic behavior. A little later I watched to see if Toby had hurt his foot or leg. Low and behold, on his back foot was a red bleeding nasty looking thing on his foot. As I looked closer I noticed that he did not have a nail on that toe. It was the most nasty looking thing I have ever seen. I just can't imagine having a toe nail ripped off. So I called my friend and she told me how to take care of it. I was up all night with worry. This morning I dropped Toby off at the vet on my way to work. The Vet was able to put some type of surgical covering over the nail and give him something for pain. My poor sweet boy. I was able to bring him home after work. By this time he was starving like Marvin. So I fed him and now he is working he sympathy card big time. At least now I know I can get some sleep tonight. Which I am off to get Toby his thumper ears and we are going nightie night!
