The trouble with that is of course, that I cannot decide on one, so I would appreciate any opinions anyone has.

The choices are:

https://www.nonstopdogwear.com/en/product/fjord-raincoat/

https://paikka.pet/collections/raincoats?filter.v.price.lte=76&filter.p.product_type=Visibility%20Raincoat

(Only the ones with lite in the name from paikka)

(I have discount codes for all, so they end up being about the same price)

(Poll is set to 1 week but I'll have to decide in 3 days before the hurtta code stops working)

We were at one of the beaches at the Rhein river and she got the zoomies because omg sand. Ran around like a maniac and then tried to jump over those big rocks they put there to reduce erosion. Unfortunately she misjudged the distance and her jumping power and crashed.

Did not let that stop her of course and just kept running, but I could see red on her leg.

She managed to get a big gash on her wrist and more shallow scratches all over the leg, so we went straight to the next emergency vet and were fast enough they could use staples.

She was so good for that, I used up all of my treats, but she didn't even flinch and just kept eating while they did whatever they needed to.

The bandage she's clearly not a fan of, but she's leaving it alone so she doesn't need a cone or muzzle.

She's quickly mastered the art of looking very pitiful because her leg does not work with a bandage on

Outside where she's distracted she's using it almost like normal however xD

Honestly, we got really lucky, the way she crashed it could have easily been a broken leg instead of just this.

Also gonna get on my soapbox real quick here, get pet insurance if possible! Xivu isn't eligible because of the leishmaniasis, so this visit was 470€ already and that's not including the follow up. If we would have had to go to the actual animal hospital it would likely be over 1k.

And for those like me who're curious, a picture of the leg just after it happend under the cut

It is 22.5°C in my room rn and she was feeling cold without a coat on.

We're taking a class on toy play by Shade Whitesel and while we're still at the very basics, I'm happy with the progress we've made already.

Current goal is just teaching her that engaging with me and the toy I have is more fun then running off with the one she has.

Toy play and especially toys as reinforcement are something I basically know nothing about, Magali never cared about them so I only know some theoretical stuff.

She managed to get some small foreign body stuck between her toes, leading to some swelling.

She never seemed to be in much pain ( walked normally, didn't lick the foot) and was just a little bit bothered if I touched the swelling. She was very nice about it tho, just pushing her head into my hands and trying to redirect it into cuddling/playing.

I noticed it Sunday but we kept an eye on it for a few days cause we initially thought she might have gotten stung by something, but it got worse yesterday.

Luckily our vet had an appointment for today and could extract what was in there by just squeezing a bit.

I had muzzled her just to be safe, but she was very happy to lick her parmesan paste and let them do whatever they needed to do.

Now she's supposed to take it easy for the next two days until I can remove the bandage on Saturday.

At least she's not very bothered by it and leaned it alone for the most part, so she's avoided the cone of shame so far

Pictures of the swelling under the cut for those curious, but they're not very dramatic.
