OH MY DOODLE.... Ouch, ouch, ouch!

[Donna Vee]

My poor little kid.... Last night my son (11) was in a hurry to get from the shower into the warmth of his bed and flew across the floor, not watching where he was stomping. One, two, three giant leaps and he came down hard on top of his belt buckle which he had left laying in the middle of his bedroom floor. Yep, as you might have guessed, the pin in the middle of the buckle went straight up into the center of his foot, DEEP! It was after 9:00, so we cleaned it up, stopped the bleeding and put a band aid on it.

All night long I had dreams of tetanus and infection so I called the Pedi, first thing this morning to find out when his last tetanus shot was. Sure enough, he was due for that and several more. It struck me that we JUST finished with shots for both doodles and Penny was finally spayed less than two weeks ago...IT'S NEVER ENDING!!!!! We will constantly be in either a vet's office or the pediatrician’s for the rest of our lives. Not that I'm unsympathetic, I felt terrible for my poor child. Not only did he get punctured in the foot he had to endure 2 blood tests, 3 shots and the humiliation of having to wee wee in a cup, all in a 12 hour time period.

Moral of the story....Obey your mother, put your clothes in the hamper.

No Dori, I'm sure it wasn't...lol. his had to have something to do with bettering his ninja moves. I'll have to ask him.

[Donna Vee]

It wasn't rounded just bent...but it was still sticking straight up.  I'm feeling queezy now that it's all over and I'm talking about it.  Bleeeehhhhhhh.

[Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper]

Ow, that really had to be a painful experience.  Hope he heals fast!

[Christine & Shelby]

Maybe you can train the Doodle to put his clothes in the hamper - you may have more luck.   However - if you doodle is anything like mine - you are out of luck - Shelby LOVES to steal laundry and is quite skilled and quick!   Hope your son is feeling better today!

[Donna Vee]

My girls are the biggest sock theives EVER!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Ow, that sounds painful! I hope his foot feels better quick.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Oh, poor guy! I can see it in my minds eye because frankly I do the same thing sans the belt in the middle of the floor.

Glad he's so brave.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

This hurts just to read. My feet are so sensitive, you would have heard more than a girly scream from me. I feel so sorry for your son. Yikes. I hope he feels better soon.

[Donna Vee]

Thank you all very much for your well wishes...I passed them on to my sweetie, combined with the Neosporin and Motrin and we're well on our way to recovery.

Doodle hugs and kisses to all.

[Pat and Traveler]

Ah, poor little guy.  Not only did he get that awful ouch on his foot, but all the shots and stuff too!  Lots of doodle hugs to him, and to you.

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

Oohhh I feel his pain! Just two weeks ago I stepped on an old rusty nail right in my heel. I have no idea where it came from because it was in my laundry room. I hope he is feeling better  :-)

[Donna K & Quincy]

Poor kid, that had to have hurt a lot, hope it gets better soon and doesn't cause him too much discomfort. This reminded me of an incident that happened to a friend of mine a few years ago. Her daughter was playing out side, climbed a fence, jumped off and landed on a rusty nail that was driven up right through the top of her sneaker. The little girl sat there screaming while her friends went to get her mom. My friend rushed her daughter to the emergency room ( child still screaming) where they carefully cut away the sneaker to find that the nail had come nicely up between her toes and she didn't have as much as a scratch. True story, you can't make this stuff up.
