OMG we have toes!

[bunn]

Just taken Mollydog in for rebandaging again, and she has come back with toes visible on all 4 feet!    I haven't seen the toes on the affected leg since August.   At long last she is no longer a partial Pobble*. 

She's supposed to start putting weight on it now, but persuading her to do that when the leg is so wasted is not that easy.  At the moment she's basically using it only as a parking brake. 

* does anyone remember a children's book in which the Pobble sets out to reclaim his toes? I'm sure I remember one quite clearly, but Amazon knows it not.

The original Pobble poem is by Lear, but the book I mean is a followup to the Pobble poem. In the poem of course, the Pobble famously loses his toes after his scarlet noseflannel is snatched by a porpoise: in the book we discover the fearful plot behind the theft of the toes, and go in search of the porpoises. I can't remember if Pobble actually gets his toes back in the end or not, but I do remember the Runcible Cat was an important character.

I don't think the book was by Lear.
