Buddy's Boo-boo

Buddy is our almost 4 year old red pit bull. He was born 3 days before Marty and I were married, on Thanksgiving. When  Buddy was 5 weeks old we brought him home with us :)

He was just so tiny! What a little ball of joy!

Anyways, as he got older, he got bigger and stronger and tougher.

But he's still just his goofy self. When we leave him at home, we kennel him for his safety and the safety of our things. He has broken out a couple times and everything was fine except the kennel. We fixed the kennel. The last time he got out, he cut himself up and had blood all over, but amazingly enough, he was pretty much ok. A scrape on his face and cut his gums. He couldn't chew on raw hides for about a week either. So last weekend we left him in his kennel. He didn't get out but he cut himself a good one. To tell you the truth I didn't see it until almost bed time that night. It didn't look like it would be a problem. It's on his back, and he scratches.

Now it looks like this...

He keeps scratching it, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It looks really gross in person. So he has a doctor appointment tomorrow morning so we can get it cleaned up. It just won't heal with him scratching it everyday. Yucky!

Poor Buddy :(
