Ouch!

Mylo so needed to have his nails clipped. They were so long! My sister in law came over to help cut his nails. It took all three of us to hold him. All was good until the last nail. CLIP! just a little to short. Poor pup, his nail was bleeding. It bled for a while, and I made a bandage out of cloth and duct tape. He was fine until the morning when he took it off and ended up banging his foot up against the kennel. 

Once again he was bleeding. So off to the vet where they put some liquid on his toe and bandaged it up with blue gauze.  These pics are from after going to the vet. He's got a little baggy on it to keep it dry as we were getting ready to just go out.

He's much better now. It only had to stay on for a day. But next time I think it'll be less stress to just take him to get it done.

Silly Pup

So Friday morning my alarm woke me up at 6 am. I was wide awake but did not want to get out of bed, So there I laid. Mylo has gotten used to me being up early to walk him before heading to work, so he was waiting for me to take him out. I heard him whining and I ignored it for a few minutes, until he came all the way upstairs and pushed his way into the bedroom. So that of course woke me up. Mylo accomplished coming up the stairs! 

So downstairs we went to go for a short walk so I could get home and ready for work. While I was getting ready Mylo was running up and down the stairs. Then of course it was time for me to leave for work and Mylo was upstairs. Do you think Mylo would come down stairs?

Of course not. He started whining and laying down when I tried to pull him down, he wouldn't follow me, I even tried treats. Finally it was 10 minutes before I had to be to work - I was already late so I figured he'd be fine since he had been going up and down the stairs earlier several times plus Chris would be home soon. I left his toys and treats on the bottom of the stairs hoping that would convince him to go down.

Quarter to 9 I called home to check on Mylo. Mylo was freaking out in the background. Chris said he hadnt come down the stairs and he cut the conversation real short to get back to Mylo. I was so worried.  I guess Chris tried to get him to come down and finally his Step Dad Dave came over and together they got him down. Mylo didnt go back up the stairs at all that day but of course... 

Saturday morning at 5:30 Mylo came running up the stairs to wake us but when we went to take him downstairs he pulled the same stunt. This time though we just pulled him down and he came with us. So that morning since I was up so early - Thanks Mylo. I headed to walmart before work and bought a gate for our stairs. Mylo has not been up since.  

We wont be blocking him from upstairs forever. Just while we are sleeping so he doesnt pull that stunt so early in the morning and lets us sleep in a little bit.

Mylo still has not bothered with the stairs to the basement ... yet.
