You're right, Mary. All I can do is wait. I have been looking at some completely different items to list (some fast food t-shirts, for those who collect advertising materials, etc.) just to keep it moving.

Rain this evening. Good timing. The bandage is off. The toe isn't completely healed, the swelling has returned some. I'll be using a disinfectant to add to a pan of water and sit with her foot in it for about 10 minutes once or twice a day. She may have some kind of a yeast infection (not the kind that is cured by yogurt) that the disinfectant might cure. If not, he may have to take the nail off completely back to the nail bed. After payday, if that happens.

Anyway, the foot is stinky after being bandaged for a week. I gave Poppy a bath (I have to declutter the drain strainer of lots of dog hair) and I'll give Cinnamon one also. Though it's wet, it's warm out, and she'll dry quickly since her coat is so slight. I'm not sure if I'll have them in tonight or not, but if so, they'll smell better. They weren't stinky before, but they were definitely doggy scented.

Oh, to keep her from licking the foot, he said either the bitter apple spray from the pet store, or rub some roll-on (not any other type) deodorant on the foot. Something about one ingredient that tastes bitter. Old Spice, here I come! I think my son might have left some in his room.
