Poor Maverick...

Poor Mavy had a run in with a very unfriendly creature this morning. Sometime between going to be last night and about 6:30 this morning Maverick was bitten or stung by something that his skinny little body didn't like. He was running around like crazy rubbing his face on everything that he could and I just thought he was being hyper (we were out of town all weekend). Then Blake took him to go run and noticed his face beginning to swell. This is what he looked like compared to what he normally looks like.Blake thought he might have poison ivy (Blake's parents took him hiking this weekend) but our trusty vet, Blake Malone, didn't think that's what it was. Blake immediately took Maverick out to Bellvue to visit the good Dr. Malone. Blake gave Mav a steriod shot and told Blake to stop and pick up some Benadryl for Mav, too. Blake Malone took good care of Maverick, as he always does.

I, on the other hand, was a mess this morning... crying and worrying about Maverick like he would never recover. He, of course, is recovering just fine. He got to go to work with Blake today as a result of his accident. Thank goodness WPLN is a dog friendly environment. Here's to a healthy puppy.
