BELLE

I would like to tell you all a little story about a dog named Belle. Belle was a digger. Now the owners of Belle would like to blame it on the back neighbors' dog, but that wouldn't be honest, so we will all just have to say "she's a lab." Last weekend sometime between the hours of 3 and 6pm this said dog sliced up her paw in two places. Garrett (the owner) calls his poor wife (the innocent one) and tells her Belle has cut up her paw, there was blood EVERYWHERE, and he was going to take her to the vet.

Over $500 later, the Maughan's have a drugged up dog (only for about 4 hours [unfortunately only 4] after giving her a sedative) that still seems lucid enough to have figured out how to gently untie the bow that holds her "dog bag" on. (The dog bag is an IV bag w/ the top cut off to keep dirt, moisture, etc off the bandage).


The amazing thing about this dog is how she has figured out how to take the IV bag off by untying it instead of what she had done before by just ripping it up. At least she is saving the Maughan's ANOTHER trip to the vet to get a new one! Of course, the vet didn't believe it when told that Belle was able to get to her bandage (by taking the said bag off), but once seeing the evidence, the vet believed the story.

I hope you feel sorry for me! :-)

Your little one is just too smart for her own good. All I can say is you need to watch the "Dog Whisperer" on animal planet or call him before you have to spend another $5,000 on her.
