Giggling, Esme watched as Stacy started trying to nip at her fingers while her fur was being brushed. It looked like someone had about enough of this even though there was a bit to go. "I'll be done soon," she said reassuringly as she continued to work away with the brush. There was quite a bit of fur accumulating on the ground by now though of course some of it flew away. At least it wasn't staying on the little crup. "There," she said at last. "All done. Now doesn't that feel better?" As if in response, the little creature licked her face, causing Esme to giggle. Looked like she was making a new friend already and that was amazing. She was more than happy to work with a friendly cutie pie.
Now on to the teeth brushing.
That... probably wouldn't go over as well. Yeah, Esme was a bit skeptical because she had never done this with Lucy and she couldn't imagine dogs OR crups enjoying the experience. Professor Draper made it sound easy but then he was an expert with magical creatures and probably wouldn't have any problem with doing it himself.
Biting her lip, Esme picked up the toothbrush and cruppy paste (she hadn't even known that such a thing existed until now). After applying a pea-sized amount on the brush, she gently opened Stacy's mouth wide enough for the brush. The poor thing didn't want any of that and started struggling in her arms. "I'm sorry, girl." It made her feel a little bad but it was a necessary part of crup care. Speaking sweet words of encouragement, she began to work to take care of the teeth, starting from the back of the mouth and slowly to the front. Always making sure to move from the gums to the teeth. Every once in a while she cleaned Stacy's mouth out using Aguamenti but it wasn't easy with the poor thing trying to get away. "I'm really sorry! I'm about done."
It was a good thing that Esme was used to dealing with a struggling dog because that was Lucy every time she needed to have a bath! |
