Herky's Owie

Herky has a story to tell:

My first birthday is this weekend, and I thought you were supposed to get nice presents for your birthday! But instead I got a present that was no fun today. While my mom was at class today and my dad left to run some errands, me and my big brother Kinnick thought it would be a good idea to do some counter-surfing. Kinnick knows that the bread is kept in a wooden bread box and he likes to try to get the bread out sometimes. Well apparently, when he pulled it off the counter, I was standing a little too close and the sharp corner came down and hit me in the face right below my left eye! OUCH! When dad came home, he was surprised that I didn't really bleed much, but he knew the cut was pretty deep! He took me right to the vet and they gave me medicine to make me really sleepy and then they put 5-6 blue stitches in the cut! I am home now, but I do not like my birthday present! Plus Mom says now we can't go swimming for my birthday this Saturday...the silly vet says I can't get wet for 10 days...boo...I hope my first birthday has some better surprises and presents than this!
