JOURNAL I broke my widdle toeposted on 02/03/2009 Mommy had to take me to the doctor's on Saturday because I was limping and my foot hurt. Dr said that I broke one of the toes on my back foot. Unfortunately, it's one of the weight-bearing ones so it hurts to walk on it. They wanted me to come in for xrays today and get fitted for a splint. Mom and Dad talked and decided to just see how it heals on it's own. They know me all too well and know that I will probably chew off the splint about 5 minutes after they put it on me. Plus the xray alone costs $350 plus getting the splint would be another $700. They need to see if this cost is covered by my insurance (yes, I'm a dog and I have insurance). My toe only bothers me if people mess with it. I sometimes cry. :( My toe isn't affecting my bad behavior though. I took a mud bath over the week-end which Mommy wasn't too happy about. Have you ever tried to wash a Malamute with her winter coat on?? Apparently it's not very easy since my under-coat is designed to resist water. Kind of hard to give me a bath when the water just falls off me! Mommy managed to do her best and I came out fairly clean but had to stay in my crate until I cleaned myself off so I looked pretty again.
