boo boos and band aids

Friday, yay! Busy weekend ahead for me. TWL is coming for a visit and the matty face is excited. Unfortunately I think it is a bad weekend. Matty face and I celebrating our 13 years since he asked me out anniversary on Monday and I wanted a nice weekend to be all silly. He has been working the past 4 weekends and overtime at work so I feel as though I never see him. So I guess am a little frumpy. But a happy frump cause I love when TWL comes for a visit. TWL is one of matty faces oldest friends. And sometimes I think he is more excited about our impending nuptials than we are. The kid even has pics of our dogs on his myspace page. But then who I am I to say anything I have a pic of my friend’s kid on mine. Matty face and I got her a little onesie with an angry bunny and she rocked it like a superstar.

Anyway, so we are going to the “Terror Behind the Walls” http://www.easternstate.org/halloween/ and I am super excited. I wanted to go last year but we never got around to it. Another fun Halloween thing I want to do some day is go to a corn maze. It is a maze built from corn. I mean awesomeness. But back to the haunted penitentiary. One thing you need to know about me is I love scary movies and I have a great imagination. But I am scared to death of the dark. I freak out if matty face turns the lights out on me. I’m okay in the bedroom when it is time for bed simply because there is a street lamp right near our window, but the hallway/stairwell – heeeeelllllllll no.

Oh my, I just remember. You will never believe what happened to my little angel face last night. We had taken the pups to the groomer to get a bath and toenail clipping so that when TWL came they wouldn’t be all smelly and have Freddy Krueger toes. This was like days ago, but they refused to cut Toulouse’s nails. He apparently took off his muzzle and tried to bite the girl. Poor baby doesn’t like to be manhandled. There is a protocol with him that most people don’t realize. Let him sniff your hand, give him a treat, then rub his ears. Sometimes I even have to do it and he LOVES me. They told us to take him to the vet! I hate cutting his nails; he gets all squirmy and scratches me. So matty face likes to try to and do it when they aren’t paying attention. This normally works really well, but it takes forever. So last night he clipped one nail and got a little ambitious and went for another one, but he clipped it too close and he cut into marrow. Poor baby starts bleeding everywhere. He runs off and starts licking his toes. I think he is okay but then I see a pool of blood forming near where he is standing. So I go crazy looking for the liquid band aid stuff and can’t find it. Mind you matty face is sitting there watching tv nonplussed. So I get a bowl of water and try to soak the little paw. I get it damp and than is it. He runs from me. I then scream at matty face to go to the store and get me liquid band aid. He grudgingly gets off the couch and heads to the store. He comes back with a spray which is ten times easier than the other kind. We spray the little paw and he runs off again. Five minutes later he is sitting next to me all exhausted. Now matty face looks at him and says why won’t he love me. I say take him and poor matty face is like he doesn’t want me around him now. He tries to pet the little angel but he runs back to me. I feel so helpless and just reassure matty face that he is okay he is just a little sore and where I was sitting was more comfy. But baby face is still hurting you could tell this morning he didn’t want to eat breakfast or go anywhere other than my lap. I am sure he will be fine by dinner tonight, he loves TWL. Hopefully that will cheer the little monster up.
