The animals are having a rough week!

Poor animals! It's been a rough (ruff?) week in our household for them.
On Saturday night Peter and Frankie were playing (I guess? I didn't see it but have been assured this was accidental) and Peter accidentally yanked out a patch of hair from the back of Frankie's neck! We didn't see it happened, just heard a commotion and came running to see what was up. Peter was standing there with a beard and mustache made out of cat hair, looking all surprised. Frankie was in the kitchen by this point but she wasn't upset or scared or anything. We figure the dog was sniffing around at the cat as usual and she probably gave him the Frank-a-whapper which in turn gets Peter all riled up to play. He probably reached out with open mouth to gum her like usual and somehow nipped a chunk of fur out.
She has since scratched it with her back paw (it's itchy now that the fur is growing back in), that's where the red scratch came from.



Then yesterday happened. I was at work and the babysitter took the kids and Peter to the park. Within 10 minutes of them being there, the babysitter looks down and sees all this blood under Peter. It took her a bit to figure out that it was coming from his foot. He didn't yelp or cry or anything to indicate what had happened. So they walk back home from the park, it's a good 3 blocks away, the whole time Peter is leaking blood. You can see paw prints all the way from the park to our house! They get him to the backyard and get some towels and clean him up and that's when they see one of his back nails is missing.
I had called home to check in on them just after this happened and the babysitter tells me to be assured that while it looks like an axe murder happened in my backyard, that blood all came from his nail. And it certainly did, there was blood spots everywhere!
He somehow snapped that nail completely off. I cannot see any trace of nail left at all. He doesn't want me to touch it and it seems sore today. How does that happen? His nail is as thick as my pinky finger. We just had them trimmed 3 weeks ago, they are not overly long or anything. He must have just stepped on a rock at the park (the park has little river rocks instead of sand) and off it went. Yikes!



He's on antibiotics for a week now, just to be safe. Poor guy!
