OK, today has been a terrible day. First, it was my sons 5th birthday party, out of town, where we used to live and all my family still lives. Thought it would be more convient. Woke up late. Had to get Jolene to the groomers, in my hometown, by 11:00. Got a frantic call on my cellphone about 11:45...we've cut Jolene's ear and it won't stop bleeding! I freaked out, flew across town to find my precious baby girl, standing on the table with her ear covered in blood. No, they did not "cut" it, they took a chunk out trying to trim them. I was horrified. We held pressure for a total of an hour and a half waiting for the emergency clinic to open, and finally got it to stop bleeding. I used everything nursing school had ever taught me to stop a bleeder, finally resorting to styptic gel and ice. What a mess!! She is now on antibiotic ointment to her ear. Do you think she needs an oral? The good thing is, the groomers obviously took care of the bills and really felt horrible. Probably wouldn't use them again if I didn't know it was an honest mistake. THe groomer was in tears as well as the entire shop!! Well, I finally made it to the party, 15 minutes late and covered in blood, but hey, I made it!! Jolene of course was the belle of the ball as she got extra TLC from everyone there. So much for taking some cute pics of her to download.....
