This past weekend was a holiday so on Monday, Kyle and one of his marines went out for a bike ride on some mountain trails. They took Izzy with them and Kyle said she was having a blast! She would run up way ahead of them, wait for a while, get tired of waiting and run back down to meet them. So pretty much she was running twice as much as they were biking. She was a trooper! They were out there for a couple of hours and it wasn't until they were just about finished riding that they noticed Izzy was limping. Like I said, they were on some pretty intense bike trails on the side of a mountain, so there were all kinds of roots and rocks everywhere. Well, Izzy had torn up her paw pads pretty bad. They were bleeding and just ripped up like crazy. I felt sooooooo bad for her when Kyle got home. But she was just too excited and having too much fun to stop and let Kyle know her feet were hurting. Anyways, here's a couple of pictures from the pitiful pup. It was a very muddy trail so Izzy was.... very muddy.
The trusty mountain bike...
This is how I found Izzy. We basically had to carry her out of the car.
Getting a nice bath!
Okay, please excuse her ghetto bandages. Yes, those are papertowels wrapped around her feet tied with ponytail holders. We ended up getting real gauze and tape a little bit later. We wrapped them at first to prevent her from biting her feet. She was hurting pretty bad. We spoiled her and let her lay on the chair covered with a blankie. She was cold after her bath. I'm pretty sure she was milkin' it for all it was worth! ha!
