Just setting the scene , it was not pretty 
Yesterday morning we had to be at Derriford Hospital for Pauls CT to check on his pancreas and so early morning I took the dogs for a quick run at Golitha Falls , all good so far x Elder grandson Adam was calling in briefly to collect his crash helmet for his motor bike as he passed his test last week . On arrival home , I thought the marks on the hall carpet were mud , it was blood, lots and lots of it too , a trail leading down the hall into the kitchen then sitting room but worse was to come . Adam has left his crash helmet in the bedroom and after fetching it, he did not close the bedroom door , so the trail of blood continued onto the carpet and on the bed which had clean bedding on it . A close look at Reuben revealed a slice of pad skin missing , bleeding like a running tap and we had to leave home . He was such a good boy, letting me gently dab it dryer and give it a squirt of leucillin . Oh the mess when we got home three hours later, poor lad ,it looked very sore but no limping and so the clean up began , took me all afternoon but thankfully the blood flow had ceased, all was well until Silas got back from school when Reubs got excited and off it went again I have ordered some cleaning stuff for getting blood out of carpets, it is arriving this afternoon, our hall way looks like a murder scene . Needless to say , Reuben has not been to Playgroup today , just had a short walk and that will do . same tomorrow I think xx
