Playing rough

Well...Nala plays rough and has a hard head.

We've know that for a while. About six months ago Nala gave matte a blood nose whilst playing. That was quite a shock for both of us. Matte had never had a blood nose before, and found herself kneeling on the floor with her hands cupped under her chin rapidly filling with blood and it oozing between the fingers and dropping all over the floor whilst Nala stood by looking stunned and confused by all the commotion.

On Friday, Matte took her next battle wound when Nala headbutted her in the eye. Today it does not look pretty at all.


And then today, she hurt herself while playing with all of her friends that she usually plays with everyday. We don't even know what happened. Husse was there at the time and only discovered the wound when it was time to stop playing. So...a visit to the vet followed, and sedatives and stitches, and now she is wearing an old t-shirt and lying in bed beside matte feeling sorry for herself...or is she feeling very pleased with herself because she is not usually allowed on the bed.


Here she is at the vet's before the sedative wore off entirely.


And here is the wound complete with 3 stitches.


Not so impressed with her new style!
