Maxine's Injured Paw (or Grandmaster Sulk)

You all know by now that Maxine's favorite thing to do in the world is: what?

What do you think?

RUNNING! She loves to run and even better if she can run after another dog or small animal. Everything she was born with and everything she learned as a young pup has been focused on one thing: RUN.

She has a group of dogs that she gets together with in our various back yards. This past Monday it was at our house and she was running around with her friend Marley and suddenly she was bleeding. Well we found a big cut on her paw! She wasn't in pain and wasn't yelping but was VERY upset when we put her inside and she had to watch all the other dogs play in HER backyard. She is very good at sulking.

This picture is from a few days later. She has had to stay off her paw, which means no running! She doesn't get all of that so she thinks we are just being mean! This is an unusual position for her to sit in (we call it the sphinx). She usually sits like this in protest. She normally does not sleep on anything not softer than a thick mattress so for her to even be on the hard wood is unusual. This is why her new nickname is Grandmaster Sulk.
