Our first emergency room visit

Don't worry everything is okay; it was just a little scary for a few minutes. Ross got up to take Winnie for a walk this morning. I was still in bed reading when they came home. He burst into our room and is a little panicky, rightfully so. Turns out that Winnie slipped into a sewer grate while they were walking and was limping pretty badly. We headed to the after-hours vet. While we waited for almost an hour in the waiting room, Winnie's limp greatly improved. We even thought about leaving, but we wanted the piece of mind, so we decided to wait to see the vet. The vet told us exactly what we we suspected; she had a sprain above her paw - equivalent to the wrist in a human. She's going to be fine. The vet recommended that we take her home and put ice on it, which is what you see in the picture. The funny thing is, Winnie-girl was looking at us the whole time like, "Why are you guys freaking out?" Ah...the joy of parenthood.
