Spike vs. Thunder

This is what happens when a little fuzzball pisses off a husky:
The vet had to staple this wound up and put in a drain tube for a couple days.
Of course, it happened shortly before we had to go to Gwinn for the race, so he spent a lot of time in the truck while he still had his drain tube in.
The drain tube after we removed it.  Its about four and a half inches long.  EEWWWW.
Hard to get a good pic, but you can kinda see the staples.  He's lucky to be alive-it was very close to his jugular.  He's been a very good, easy patient, though.
Normally, all the house dogs get along just fine, but the dog that is pretty new to our house hold, Tika, went into heat and everything just went nuts around here.  No more problems with fighting since, though, and we are being very careful now, keeping them separated or supervised as needed.
