McKinney State Park
Today, Joan took off on her bike early this morning and left me in the house. But Lee is visiting us, so he took me on a sorta short / long run/jog. It wasn't Joan's 6 mile run that I know she went on and that I have been on before with her, but I got out. Plus then I got to sit outside protecting my backyard against squirrels and walkers with dogs (the worst!).
This afternoon, we took a drive out on the highway and went to the park, McKinney State Park. By the time we got there, my nose was bleeding because I kept smooshing my nose under Joan's seatbelt to see what was going on, and then my scabs pulled off and then my nose was bleeding. I don't really care about this, but Joan seems to. She tried to wipe it off and then we got back in the car and continued down the road.
We went on a nice walk but it was really really hot out there! She said something like 85 or 87. HOT. I drank lots of water she brought for me, and one time I rolled around in the grass and then smooshed my nose in the grass, and guess what? pulled more scabs off and then my nose was positively totally bloody! I tasted it a bit when I licked my chops once or twice. They tried to put water on it but I move too fast for the humans. hee hee hee.
We finally made it back to the river and we set up downriver of the kids swimming etc. and I got to go in the river. I would just SOAK in there - boy was it nice. That's the way to cool d-o-w-n. In the process, I also cleaned off my bloody nose while swimming around.
Joan thinks my nose isn't any better. Well, it just looks different but still really bad. She keeps threatening the CONE HEAD. She said she's gonna talk to the vet about me pulling off all my scabs ....
Tonight I also couldn't help it and threw up a couple times in the dining room. I had eaten a bunch of grass on our park walk and my stomach didn't like it so much. OOPS. Joan didn't even find it right away.

Ouch! Bosco, that looks like it hurts. My mom would be really upset if I did that to my nose too. Don't they understand we just have to stick our nose every place it doesn't belong? It's part of being a dog! Woof!
Smell ya later :)

Hi Bosco.
Your nose looks like it really hurts, and my Mom is really worried about you. She knows though that Jone is taking good care of you, and I think she's just freaking out a little bit because if it were me with that ouchy nose, Mom would be just freaking out about it. Well, I promise to update soon and tell you all about how my PT is going.
get better soon,
woof woof from your friend up in still cold MN.

Ouch! I hope your nose gets better. You don't want to have to wear that CONE!
