And Frankenpooch is home :)

[wraithfodder]

The dog, now nicknamed Frankenpooch, is home. Considering the sewn-shut eye, redness, swelling (all typical of surgery), he seems to be doing fine. He's sleeping a lot, but that's okay too as he's on some painkillers. He's got a good appetite, and he hates the cone of shame, nickname for the plastic e-collar he must wear. He looks like a zombie dog, due to all the shaved-off hair and surgical stuff. For those curious and who are not easily squicked by post surgical shots, a photo of him in the e-collar can be viewed here

The cat has sniffed him up and is glad he's home, and so far doesn't mind being locked up downstairs during the day because I just don't want the two mixing up and getting into trouble - like dog wedging head somewhere ;)  And he's gotta wear that collar for at least 12 days till stitches are out.

Fortunately it's raining outside and dog does not like rain, so he'll stay inside more.

The cone of shame. Oh, my dog hated that when she had her surgery but I think the cats hate wearing the cone more. Good thing you separated them though; you know cats, as much as the cat may love the dog, (s)he wouldn't be able to resist causing a little mischief because of the dog trapped in the cone of shame - talking a little cat smack with a tail flick etc.. LOL

Thing with cats is they have four feet they can use to remove the cone. the dog is much less, er, flexible, thank goodness. However, he 'coned' the cat this morning. Cat was in his path and dog turned and it got knocked aside.

The old 'oops' eh? (dog LOL). Who says dogs can't be subtle. ;)
