Happy Belated Chuseok (Thanksgiving) and Tobey's Update

Happy belated Chuseok everyone!

I hope everyone had a good Chuseok and you guys ate dduk (rice cake). :) It's Korean tradition to eat dduk on this day, as well as, New Years. I hope people are thankful for the things you have... hehe~ I know I am on this day! :)

The reason why I am thankful is because Tobey is okay!!! :) My day I spent it in the emergency room, as well as, taking care of Tobey. So for the people who don't know what happened I took Tobey to the dog park. I do this every morning or almost every morning since I started in March of this year. I walk him around the dog park so he, as well as, I will get some exercise. Typical Saturday I woke up early in the morning to take him to the dog park. We walked around until I got tired than I sat down at a bench. Some dog I have never seen sneaked from the back and took a big bite out of Tobey. All I saw was a chunk of hair gone and his skin. A minute later it started bleeding like crazy. I took him to the emergency room. They told me the bite was pretty deep so they had to sedate him, shave around the area, clean the wound, and stitch him up. Poor baby!!! :'(

I took pictures of Tobey and his stitch that night. Since he's able to lick/take out the stitches, they have him wearing a cone around his head.
It's gigantic!... lol~ He's not able to walk through the door, jump on the bed, and so on. Doesn't he look cute though!?!?


WARNING: The Next Picture Is Graphic!!!


That's how the stitch looks like. There's one staple I noticed and everything else was stitched up with a thread; I would say about 10 stitches.

I just have to put this picture up, because he just looks so cute!!! :)

This past weekend was really stressful for me. Tobey was the strong one... lol~ I was the emotional wreck. :X I couldn't stop crying because I felt guilty. I blamed myself what if I did this or that. If only, then he wouldn't have been bitten. I know it's no one's fault but that dog, but it really broke my heart seeing Tobey hurt!!! :'(

I just want to thank the people who listened and comforted me during this hard time. Thank you for the people in Twitter (vansmakeupride, MrsZeus, & miraclekoh) and especially two people who really comforted me through direct messages (rasilla and spankedelic). My real life friend through Facebook (Kathryn) and MSN last night (you know who you are... hehe~). I really appreciate it!

Thank you!!! :)
