Today we have to take a break at tennis-ball-in-the-fountain because Reddy cut his foot last night on a flagstone edge. We put styptic powder on it and it stopped immediately. Very impressive.
Dogs have some major arteries in their feet. The toenails are especially full of bleeders. If your dog ever snags his toenail, be aware that he could bleed out and die pretty fast from it.
Apply pressure and styptic powder. Petsmart has it in little plastic containers great for your dogs first-aid kit.
We got this picture at an earlier session. Reddy doesn’t completely sit when he’s playing ball, his butt almost touches the ground, but he keeps that tension in his haunches. Ready to spring.
Wow, can that dog ever jump.
Reminds me,““““` I didn’t have success yet in contacting the fly-ball folk. Think I’ll try that again.
I had thought of Nununda (Shawnee) for a fly-ball dog, but now since I been spending so much time with Reddy, in school, and him being the only puppy left, I see that he’s a good candidate, too.
Some dogs show it earlier, I guess.
