I had hoped the surgery would calm her down a bit but that doesn't seem to be the case.  She is even back to trying to have relations with the cat, who thought he was finally safe from being taken advantage of.

Sounds like she has the personality of her name sake. Maybe next time try Ethel, Myrtle, Becky, .........

I wasn't sure the Trazadone was doing a whole lot...till I stopped giving it to her.  OMG she is a wild one!  In the morning I will be giving her half a pill (maybe a whole one) so she doesn't freak out at the vet clinic.

I think she just said "Take the cannoli. Leave the gun."

He's a him, and just the lovinest dog ever. He's got a happy soul, which given his first few years of life is amazing. He's my Good Bear.

Change of plans. There is a vet tech shortage at the clinic so Harley can continue dreadlocking her fur till Thursday. Sure glad I didn't already drug her for the visit.

Apologies. Do I now owe him double treats?

Let me ask him and see, brb.




































He says "YES".

Stitches are out and collar is off. Now will begin the getting rid of knots fun and games. I am going to wait till tomorrow and give her a bath and slather her with conditioner in hopes that I don't have to use scissors too much.

Shirt to protect incision.  Jimmy Buffett theme complete with that lost shaker of salt.

Pardon Quinn's ears, they look awful.  After the dental yesterday and him dipping them in the water today they need some work.

He's quite stylish - may it be noted I have never dressed one of the dogs before...this was the vet's idea.
