So there I was, playing around in the mud, having a good time. The next morning, when I woke up, Dad said, “Hey, your nose is swollen!” Huh? I didn’t feel swollen, but my Mom also got a little worried, so they decided to take me to the vet. I like my doctor and the nurses, and they are pretty good about giving me treats. I usually like to show off and jump up on the examination table for them. But this day, I was little nervous and tried to stay out of that room. I guess docs are smarter than dogs, and that is why they have “no stick” flooring. No way, I could pull my way out of there.
I don’t remember it happening, but the doctor thought that maybe I was bitten by something because I poked my nose somewhere it didn’t belong. But just to be sure he also took a sample to see if it was some kind of bacteria. For the time being, he thought some ointment would work well. That is OK then. I was so relieved. But a few days later, that part of my nose was even more swollen, had no hair, and was pinkish red! Mom was really worried, stroking me every day, willing me to get better. I went back to the doctor and he said the bacterial test was negative, so gave me a few more days of steroids. Not too much because Dad doesn’t want me to ‘roid out.
Now, I feel like the handsome man who fell down. My nose is healing, but will I ever get my good looks back? As it is, for the time being, when someone pulls out a camera, I cock my head to show my good side!
ご機嫌に土遊びしてると、なんかチクッとした。次の日の朝、起きたら、パパが「コロの顔がはれてる！」って。ママも僕の顔をのぞきこんで「どうしたのぉ～？」ってすごい心配そうな顔をしてた。僕はすぐに病院に連れて行かれた。病院の先生は好きなんだけど、診察台の上で一体何されるか、いつもドキドキ、ビビってしまう。。。
幸いたいしたことはなくて「多分、何かに刺されたんでしょう。ステロイドの薬がよく効きますよ」って、先生言ってた。だから僕はたいしたことなかった！って安心してたんだけど、先生に診てもらって2，3日したら、腫れてたところは、完全に毛がなくなって、なんか間抜けな顔になってしまった。。。ママは「ちゃんと治るのかなぁ。」って言いながら、毎日僕のケガのところなでなでしてくれる。会う人、会う人、コロちゃん、どうしたのぉ～？せっかくの男前が落ちたや～ん、なんて言われると僕もちょっと気になってきた。だから最近、勝負写真は右側だけにしてもらってる。。。
