My dog was running around in my yard the other day, and she came inside and was being really mean to everyone. Upon closer look she had a splinter in her paw from wood that my other dog chewed up on the porch that I had not cleaned up yet. I felt bad.
Oh no, did it take you a long time to figure out what the issue was?
Well not really she kept putting her paw up and not wanting to walk on it, I think it took longer to get her to let me see it.
Dogs can be a little squeamish when it comes to that sort of thing. I wouldn't feel bad, it could happen to anyone!
