The other morning I was excitedly running around the yard enjoying the snow and cold air as my human, K, sat in the car warming it up. Yes, you understood correctly: K was in the car, I was not. K - in car; me - not in car. I am working on fixing that. Anyway, during my exhilarated state I slipped on something and just like that my dewclaw was gone! Ouch! I did not make a sound, though, so K was unaware I was injured until she saw some blood where I had been sitting. Then she saw more blood at my next sitting spot. It was actually very little blood, but the bright red on such wonderfully white fluffy snow made it appear more ominous than it was. Later K found my dewclaw and I tried to get it back on but that did not work. K also tried to wrap my wound but that did not work either. The pain has not been bad. I was able to take a short walk up the road the day after my injury, but yesterday and today I took my full walk and did just fine, although I limp a bit, every once in a while. I heard once that after a human loses a tooth a Tooth Fairy comes by and rewards the human in exchange for the tooth. I wonder if there is a Dewclaw Fairy? If a Fairy will give money for a human tooth, I am sure there must be a Fairy that will give meaty bones or bunnies for a dewclaw. I'm just sayin'...
