Stupid dog

So Monte was out in the backyard playing this morning and when he came in the house he began running frantically all over the kitchen and living room leaving a trail of blood behind him. When we finally got him pinned down we discovered he had somehow ripped one of his claws in half. Part of it was just dangling like a hangnail and blood was streaming out.
He was in a lot of pain and wouldn't let us touch it (he's a very strong dog), so we took him to the vet to see how bad it really was. I thought we were overreacting but the vet told us we did the right thing. Apparently this happens all the time and when people ignore it bad things happen (infection, massive blood loss, etc.).
So they sedated him, removed part of the nail, and trimmed the rest back. It cost $135.
Monte is now lying on the couch working his hardest to wake up from the sedative, but all he's getting is some heavy breathing, a small whine every so often, and an occasional twitch of the tail or eyes. He's lucky we love him.

He's got cool markings, btw. The white marks on his back and forehead are really interesting.
