Two vet visits in two days for two cracked toenails = about $400 and a big bandage on one of Piney’s feet. I did feel strangely proud when yesterday’s (awesome) doctor told us that the reason he keeps cracking his toenails is that he is VERY ACTIVE. It was the kind of pride that two sedentary parents must feel when their kid goes to the Olympics. I feel like it makes me seem like less of a lazy slob, though of course the truth is I just look worse for the comparison. Doesn’t help that yesterday’s vet trip made me miss my yoga class.
Side note: Why are (almost) all vets so awesome? Ira says it’s because they love animals. That’s probably right.
UPDATE a month later: Well, that was very funny wishful thinking I was up to back then. It turns out that P’s nails were not cracking because he was so awesome, but rather because of a vitamin-B deficiency. How brief was my time in the dizzying heights of MY DOG IS AN HONOR STUDENT hubris!

I had to make a trip to the emergency vet yesterday and the veterinarian and her entire staff were awesome! My guy was fine and I'm glad to hear yours was, too!
