Tubby’s Hurt Foot

30th August 2008

Tubby was let out tonight (not by me though, because I was outside watching TV hehe).

So, when I came into the study room to check up on him, I noticed red paw prints on the cardboard castle. I was told that Tubby had fallen down & I suspected it was from Tubby’s paw, not Winnie’s.

My suspicion was confirmed when I saw that the skin of Tubby’s left paw had peeled & bled. There’s no way I could have taken a picture of him, because he was so squirmy .. even when we tried to put antiseptic on his paw. Afterwards, he even tried to lick his paw!

I’ll be keeping an eye on him for the next few days & hopefully he’ll have a speedy recovery.

Here are pictures of the bloody paw prints on the cardboard castle:

    Thank you.
    For now, he’s not allowed out for a few days, as he lovesss making such high jumps .. don’t want him to get into another mayhem :-)
