Well, here's an update on our little pup.
Last weekend Perry was changing oil on his dirtbikes and had the dog with him. She was keeping her distance for much of the time, but when a pan of oil was set down, she had to explore it. A couple of gulps later, Perry scooped her up and began to wash out her mouth and nose. Then he called his aunt, Terri, and she saved the day by telling him to soak bread in hydrogen peroxide. That made Izzy puke and thus getting the oil out of her system. She napped for an hour after that, but the next day, she was back to normal - jumping and nipping and being a puppy.
So, last night, as if she hadn't had enough fun with the oil, lil Isabel decided to fall off her kennel and break her leg. I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when I heard the yelping. I asked Perry what was going on and he said, "Oh, she just fell and broke her leg." I thot he was kidding. Turns out, Perry took the day off work and took the dog in for an x-ray, and sure enough, her leg was broken (see picture). Bummer. Guess we won't take her for any long walks real soon.
We're learning a lot tho, just by having a puppy in the house.
