Roadtrip Time!

 I know, it has been a while.  Mom seems to forget to post anything unless we are traveling.  Well, we are on the road again.  This time, we are headed to see family.  We will be staying at Grandma's for about a week..  I love staying there! We just left this morning and it is a two day trip, so we will be there tomorrow evening.

We were supposed to go to Gulf Shores, AL in February for Mom's birthday, but I got hurt.  It wasn't a serious injury but the folks thought it was best not to travel with me.  It is rather embarrassing to talk about my injury.  You see, I fell off my folks bed and when I tried to stop myself and climb back up, I scraped my leg on this board on the side of the bed.  I ended up going to the vet. It was $155. 😒 He couldn't stitch it because greyhounds have very thin skin and he said it would just tear more.  My wound was the size of a quarter but it bleed every time I walked.  I wore a bandage that the vet put on me for 48 hours as required.  Boy, did I scream when he put it on my leg.  I don't like anything on my legs.  It took three weeks for it to heal which is better than the last time when it took two months.  The folks have baby proofed that board, so I shouldn't get hurt on it again.

My damaged leg.

I am still busy carrying packages for Mom. I think it is fun and people laugh when they see me.

Waiting for the elevator doors to open.

Oh, the other big thing going on is my corns.  I have corns on three feet.  I have some feet with two corns and one has three.  It is driving Mom crazy.  She is trying all sorts of things to remove them.  I don't like wearing boots, so don't even tell her to do that.  Joey had one corn and she thought that was terrible, so imagine how she feels with a dog with six corns.  Joey wore a boot.  I think we are making some progress but it will be a life long problem for me.  


It is almost time to stop for lunch at a rest area, so I will end now.  Talk to you soon!
