New Pic Link

Blogger has been giving me trouble whenever I try to upload pictures. However, my dad got a new camera and was testing it out on Wiki. He got some good shots and I wanted to share. If you would like to see them, they are toward the end of this album on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2001762&id=71700864&l=ed12bba60f.

Lime Disease

Wiki has caused me to develop lime disease. Not lyme disease. As many people know, Wiki likes to play ball with various kinds of fruit in the backyard: lemons, limes, apples, etc. The other day she got some citrusy slobber all over my leg. I went and rinsed it off in the pool and thought nothing of it. Then, this weird rash-like thing started popping up on my leg, but it wasn't bothering me, so I ignored it. A couple days later, I woke up and the "rash" was spreading all over my leg, looking more swollen, and hurting like hell. It turns out the lime juice and the sun caused a pretty severe skin reaction. It's not pretty, but it deserved documentation. This is also very much a warning for anyone who gets citrus juice on their skin: Go wash it off thoroughly!!!
Here is a picture of part of my leg almost a week after the lime juice contact:

Paw Injury

Wiki has been a little bit accident prone lately. Last week, she tripped outside and got a gash in her paw. She's had stitches and a bandage all week, the bandage bothering her more than the the injury itself. With every day that passes, she gets better and better at removing the bandage. This means that I also have to get better on putting the bandages on. Above are some photos of her paw and bandages. She has had green dinosaurs, pink hearts, and bright orange bandages. We avoided the bumblebee ones because she's afraid of bugs.
