My dog is nails...

Stella still has her dew claws, due to her first owner not bothering to get them removed.  When she was playing football in the field, it was frozen ground due to the high water content in the soil, and she slipped. Shortly after I noticed blood on her ball and checked her over, and noticed she'd ripped the claw off.  Time for home then young Stella Bella Umberella!!

Erm, don't think so!  Twenty minutes later she was still playing football.  I got her towards the gate, where she decided she was going to wash the blood off her paw in the puddle.  That'll be the one that's frozen solid will it Stella??

Then she noticed her new friend Stone, the black Labradoodle was coming into the field, so ten minutes of playing with him kept her busy.  Right up until he TOUCHED THE BALL!!  And what's more, he did it deliberately to get her attention.  Epic fail there Stone, nobody touches the ball and is allowed to play! 

Finally, just when I thought we'd managed to get to the gate...came Maisie!  She's a 7 month old Dalmation and loopy as a loopy thing.  So, yes, on the same level as Stella.  Off they went for ten solid minutes, running around in circles...for some reason Maisie will only run in circles.  When Maisie fell over on the ice, Stella was in such hot pursuit that she landed on top of Maisie...who was nipped on the bum for tripping Stella up! 

It was around this point that she remembered she was meant to have a poorly foot....
