On top of that Menchi has been fighting a nailbed infection since November. This meant monthly trips to the vet and long term antibiotics along with daily foot soaks. Then when we were finally gaining ground on that she ended up with an infected anal gland... so more antibiotics and warm compresses everyday for that until it started to resolve. Then the day before our last vet recheck the poor girl had a freak accident involving getting tangled in some electrical cords and getting shocked...so now she has healing electrical burns on her poor muzzle.
The accident was a scary thing as it happened when Sabe and myself were at work and we can not be sure exactly why she ended up under the desk in the back by the electrical stuff, when she has never ever displayed a desire to be there in her life. I came home to find her with a swollen muzzle and a mess in the office...one of the more scary moments of my life was to put together what might have happened, and realize that she had electrocuted herself. A vet check later she has a clean bill of health though, and all her medical problems are on the mend now. Even if her freedom card has been revoked, and she has to be crated when we go out and leave them along again.

Today was the first day in a while we were able to head to the dog park...I managed a couple of shots. Excuse the bad lighting...it was pretty cloudy.
