Brutus broke a nail
We took him to the groomers last weekend along with Buddy. We knew his nails were grown a bit long, and wanted them trimming down a bit.
Unfortunately, he managed to break one in the holding cage.
Even worse, it was broken all the way in the bed. It bled quite spectacularly, apparantly.
This last few days though, he’s been enjoying lots of attention, and like a good pug, he’s milking it for all he’s worth. He runs around fine, until he sees Beth, then he limps. He won’t jump off the bed, but will hop up and down on the sofa with no problems.
The groomer didn’t touch the nail after that to trim it, we want to let it grown right out. We’re now going to be taking him back every other week for a trim, so we can get them back under control again. Hopefully when the weather warms up and the sun comes out, walking him on tarmac around the houses here will help. Right now, our back yard is frozen mud and grass, and not enough to wear nails down.
Silly pug!
