Zaph did have a really good time on his mini holiday ---- he came home stinky after rolling in something he thought was wonderful, plus he hurt his dew claw on his front right paw digging in the dirt. I guess "dogs will be dogs".

This morning I decided to call the vet's office as his dew claw was sticking out at a funny angle and Zaph seemed to be babying it. I was told to bring Zaph in. After looking at the claw the vet decided that he needed to remove the broken part of the nail. It wasn't loose enough for him to just pull it off so Zaph was given a sedative. Zaph was snoring loudly when the vet removed the nail ---- hmmmm...... maybe I should think twice before I accuse Ed of snoring. The wake up shot didn't work as well as the sedative. Took about a half hour of poking and prodding to get Zaph to respond to "Want to go for a walk?" A very wonky dog stood up and headed for the door. By supper time Zaph was back to normal wanting his dinner, after dinner walk and after dinner treats.

The basement is progressing.
