and he needs some good thoughts again.
Score nailed him last night, as they squabbled over something in the kitchen...and got a tooth in Rip's face. I'm assuming it's Score, as those were the two that went skittering out of the kitchen when I yelled..."HEY!" after hearing a scuffle and a yelp. Being a face injury, it's not deep, but it's all swelled up. Poor ol' man. :nono: I cleaned it all out with first aid wipes (non stinging), and put antibiotic cream on it...and he's on 160 mg. of aspirin.
I guess Score's getting him back for the 2" scar Rip gave him a while back while they were chasing the basketball. :rolleyes2: Can't trust these 11 year old Aussies...they're feisty.
Rip's doing okay, just laying here waiting for more treats. :D He can't go to his reading program today...he'll be sad about that...he loves the kids.
Due to $$$ (or lack there of), I'm gonna hold off on a vet visit unless it gets really bad. It just looks horrible because of the swelling, and because it's on his face. If it were anywhere else, I wouldn't stop and think about a vet visit.
