Chloe’s Chronicles:Views from the Management Muse
Hey friends and fans! Chloe the Management Muse here, writing directly to you this time. As wonderful as Marti is, rescuing me from the animal shelter and all that, I don’t think she gets what’s going on with me right now. So, I thought I’d take it directly to you and ask for your advice.
A few days ago, my life was going along just fine—wake everybody up, eat, sleep, walk, sleep, car ride, sleep, beg for treat, sleep, walk, eat, sleep. And then, an unpleasant surprise totally messed it up in the most confusing ways.
On my daily walk, I stepped in the river as usual, but this time something sharp sunk into my foot. I think some human must have broken a bottle in the water ‘cause my foot pad was cut and it hurt like mad. I was bleeding and trying to get it to stop but nothing worked. So, off to that emergency pet hospital we went.
Those strange people didn’t even give me treats when they started poking and prodding me. Somehow, they made me sleep and when I woke up, I had this big ‘ole green bandage around my paw and I was really groggy. I came home and could not get comfortable all night. The next day, that blasted bandage was still there.
I keep getting in trouble for trying to get things back to the way they were. I’m constantly told to ‘leave it’ when I try to lick or chew the bandage off my paw. I’ve managed to get it off a few times and Marti or the vet just puts another one on, after all my hard work to get it off! What is wrong with them? Don’t they understand that I’m just trying to get rid of this irritating thing and get my life back to normal?
Have you ever had such a thing happen, where the world as you know it suddenly changes and you can’t get it back the way it was? I’m still sleeping, eating, sleeping, walking, etc, but it is not the same with my paw bandaged up. I can’t get in the river and I haven’t been to play with my buddies at doggie daycare for what seems like forever. I just want it to be as it was. Have you ever had to handle a big change like this? What worked for you?
