Bandage removal!

This morning, I admit I wasn't as careful this time when crawling under the blankets. Mommy had to help me by lifting them in the middle of the night, but I slept just as well as I did yesterday! I'm beginning to like this spot very much! Again, mommy woke me up when she lifted the blanket, and again daddy tried to snap a picture of me with his phone. But, you'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool me! I expected it and quickly pulled myself deeper under the blankets.



Naturally, his camera was faster than a kitten with the handicap of heavy yellow bandages, I didn't get very far with this embarrassing getaway and he caught me before I could gracefully slip out of sight.

I decided I'd had enough of these bandages today. I started to violently chew at one of them. This must have been a clear hint to mommy because after she came home from work today she saw the damage I had done and decided to help me with the rest.

Removing the bandage was more painful than I had expected. Mommy pulled out something shiny that bites through cloth and she nibbled away at the sticky yellow tape until she got almost all the way to my paws. I felt the weight of the bandages pull on me as if they were really glued to something very sore. The tug was enough to send me screaming as I ran to the next room to escape it, but it followed me! Every step sent sharp pains into my toes and I howled for help in making it stop. Mommy tried to help me but every tug sent more pain and I think when I cried again I accidentally bit mommy too. She yelled at me and tried to hold me still but I couldn't take it anymore. I ran all over the room to make it loosen it's grip on me and finally it gave up and let me go free.

What an awful, nasty, smelly thing that bandage was! I will certainly not miss having it on me. I carefully examined my paws for the damage I was sure that thing caused. I saw four little holes with some clear rocks packed in them. They were really itching me but I was more concerned about how sore and weak my leg had become in the past 10 days. I made sure to thoroughly wash my whole leg clean of that horrible smell. Mommy must have understood how horrible my situation was because she set me down in my favorite chair again, and didn't move me at all for the rest of the night.
