Despite constantly being given a hard time from our families about the cold weather up north, as of late, Indiana has actually had much worse weather. Last week they had some extremely bad ice storms causing a ton of people to lose power, some for a couple days. Upon our arrival, basically everything was covered in ice. Lana has been feeling guilty lately that we haven't been getting Titus out as much. We had some down time at the Rohrer's so Lana decided to take him out to play ball across the icy landscape and Titus ran his heart out. Titus even tore up a strip down the center of his nose as he picked up the ball while running full speed on the chunky ice (not that he cared).
About 10 minutes after they came in, Lana was messing with her new red coat and noticed a lot of 'fuzz' on the floor below her. Upon further inspection, she noticed it zig-zagged clear across the floor and wasn't fuzz. Apparently Titus not only cut his nose, but ripped up one of his paws and was bleeding little dots all over Grandma Rohrer's carpet. I don't even think Titus knew or cared that his paw was ripped up or at least you couldn't tell by looking at him.
So we all promptly sprang into action. Mark carried Titus downstairs to the workroom and Lana stayed there to tend to his paw. In the meantime we starting using carpet cleaner like it was going out of style. Fortunately it all came up rather easily. Lana improvised and emerged from the basement with a rag duct taped to Titus's paw. He was a really good sport about it, however the road salt drying out his paws and the jagged ice definitely got the better of him.
