I forgot to tell my funny (well it's funny now) New Year's Eve story.

I was at my brother's with his girlfriend and her sister and we are drinking lots and the phone rings shortly after midnight. It's my mom. So my brother's girlfriend answers and they chat, then my mom talks to her sister, then she talks to my brother and my brother takes off into the bathroom with the phone, which I don't think anything of at the time. So then my brother comes out and says "Phone Robin". So I say "HI MOM HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" and she says "Hi robin, I have something to tell you." in this voice that sounds like, well really bad. I say "What?". She says "Well Charlie is bleeding from his eye." (They were taking care of him for me for the night.) So I am like "WHAT?" She said "Yeah it just happened after I phoned you."

So everybody is drunk, I'm 45 minutes away and my dog is bleeding from his EYE. Anyway, she said I'm sure he'll be okay. So I figured well I can't get back there, and my parents are responsible so he will be okay.

When I get home and see him he's got a cut right beside his eye, and she didn't tell me until I picked him up the part of how it was GUSHING down his face all over his tan coloured fur. Anyway he's fine and we think he must have run into something sharp, like under the table.

Can you see it just a quarter of an inch above his tear duct?

Poor puppy. But a cut next to his eye is better than bleeding FROM his eye...

Poor Charlie!!

Did it stain his fur?
Cooper once got in a wee disagreement with another dog and that dog bit him and then Cooper proceeded to bleed on an innocent bystander dog (light in colour). She was covered in blood, but still wanted to be humped by Cooper.

Hey, I guess chicks dig scars?

Awe. Dogs are pretty tough. My lab will chace and catch a frisbee until her tongue is dripping blood on the beach. It is pretty gross but she doesnt even feel it.

Awww.... poor baby Charlie!

But wait. I'm still stuck & bummed about the whole "brother's girlfriend" part. Oh well. Like I had a chance, eh?

LOL

I don't even think he noticed Tesco, so the funny part is everyone getting so stressed about it. It would have been FAR from funny if whatever happened was a millimetre to the right. Or eighth of an inch to the left for my dyslexic American friends.

ya i was wondering about the funny, thanks tesco...

Robin Alexa said...

Okay you guys, cut it out.

I did not think it was funny at all that my dog was bleeding, I was FREAKING out, I guess the funny means all's well that ends well. Geez. I think the gushing was just because of where he was cut and he didn't whine or cry so he wasn't in pain. GAWD.
