Well today was a bad day for poor little Maia! And I had the day at home to mark papers, too. Not much done on that front!
First, when I got up this morning, she was coughing. My first thought was Kennel Cough... Don't know, she hasn't coughed since then so we'll see, maybe she just had mucus in her throat or something. Then, she went outside with Sam for a while, I went out to check on her and saw half her face covered in blood!!! I panicked but settled down and wiped all the blood away to find she has a little cut inside her droopy eyelid. Her eye was filled with blood as well as her face. I washed her up and the cut stopped bleeding. She was happily chewing on a bone and not worried about it in the least.
Finally, later, she fell in the pool and got soaked ... over her head, too. She swam to the stairs luckily! Boy do I feel like a bad mom today... everytime I wasn't watching her, something went wrong. So then, we cuddled on the couch, her wrapped in the Mexican wool blanket, until she stopped shivering. What a little klutz!!! She's bouncing around now like nothing happened all day.
