I witnessed the craziest thing I've ever seen since I've had this dizzy dog. He sat at the back door and whined to go outside, so I let him out. He immediately took off into the backyard where I saw a squirrel just sitting in the middle of the yard. He bolted towards the squirrel and chased the squirrel into a little u-turn and toward the tree.
Then Dillon actually caught the squirrel and for about a second had the varmint in his mouth!! The next thing I saw was the squirrel pull a houdini and escape from Dillon's mouth and up the tree! Mind you this happened in a flash! I didn't realize until about a half an hour later when we let him in that Dillon had this awful looking gash on his foot! This picture doesn't really do it justice. We scoured the internet to find out how to treat it. After mixed reviews, we sprayed some peroxide on it and tried to wrap in gauze. This was a bad idea though as he began to nibble at the bandage. After I took it off, it started dripping blood on the carpet! Ugh! Anyway, he just started licking his wound which is probably the best thing. Looking at the wound, if this was a human, he would probably get a few stitches. I hope we are taking the best course of action by letting it be. We will monitor it for a few days.
