First off I would like to apologize for the numerous posts I have added today. Feel free to peruse the 3 following posts as they were also added today.
Ben and I had this brilliant plan to take Aida up to a tennis court and let her run around and catch the balls we were hitting back and forth. While, in theory, this was a good idea, we did not take into account the hot asphalt and her little paw pads. Aida had a blast catching the balls and running around. Once we got home, however, Ben discovered she was limping while she was out back. He looked at her paws only to find that she had ripped a dime sized shallow hole in her one front paw and did the same to the other front paw except the piece of paw pad was still hanging on. We felt really really bad and we made sure to clean her paws and give her lots of TLC.
Here are some pictures of the good times at the tennis courts:
And now for the "Awwwww, poor Aida!" moment.........
She's fine now. We wrapped up her paws and she has left them alone for the most part. Hopefully she won't need the booties come tomorrow but we will keep an eye on her. Until then, Ben was pretty happy to have found cute girly bootie socks for her. And of course, once "grandma" heard about the ordeal she promptly picked up a new toy for her. So she is still very well spoiled. :)

OK.
1) Let the record show that "Grandma" has officially surpassed me in being an indulgent dog owner. I hand the crown of eccentricity over to grandma Jean. So there.
2) I'm glad Aida's doing well--poor baby. Pink girly socks are all the rage at the dog park, I hear.
3) I enjoyed all the posts--you've been busy!
Love,
Aunt m
