double duty

Last week, April took Bella on a walk on a nearby county trail.
She often lets Bella run off her leash, and she is typically very well behaved.

Last week was a different story.

Bella took off in a full sprint for about 300 yards when she saw a deer in the woods she came back when called, only for April to discover she was spurting blood on her little paws.
In her crazy olympic speed run, she ripped the skin off of several of the pads on her feet.

Per a call to their veternarian, Bella was subjected to peroxide, gauze, and finally levi's socks.
She went to the vet the next day, and they said she was doing remarkably well for the amount of skin she ripped off.

She will heal in 10-14 days.
