Dogs are expensive...

So, yesterday my sweet Lucy (Rottweiler) got a huge thorn stuck in her paw. Hubs was walking her and he pulled it out. He thought everything was fine. Patches and Lucy had been swimming and playing off leash and acted like everything was ok. Not much later, Lucy started limping and then her foot swelled up to about twice it's size. She wouldn't put any weight on it (although this didn't prevent her from jumping on the bed and putting her head on my pillow!). This morning it was even worse so I found a vet opened on Sunday and took her. When the vet looked at her paw she could tell it was infected. She squeezed the paw and loads of gunk came out. EWWW! It's amazing how fast the infection set in. So, they had to lance it and clean it which involved putting her to sleep. And she has to take loads of antibiotics. Needless to say, it was over $500. So much for the cruise we'd like to take this year! She'll be fine but I feel really sorry for her! Oh, and I'll soon be setting up the Save Lucy foundation. Any donations will be greatly appreciated!!

I have 2 exams this week so I probably won't be blogging too much. Still pregnant (as far as I know), still nauseous, same stuff different day. I have an OB appt on Thursday. Still have moments of sheer terror but it's getting better.

P.S. Is the little floating baby creepy to you? A big part of me thinks it's creepy. Should I change it?

Update: The baby was too creepy. It's getting bigger and looks like a freaky alien. Hearts and babies are better. =)
