The Coneheads!

So the day finally came when our poor little 8monther had to be "altered". The vet claimed that he did very well - a little whiny at times (although he is justified!) and of course, per Sachi, he was standing up in his crate ready to go home once the procedure was done! Thattaboy! You show them who's a pro at recovery!

So when he brought Sachi out to greet me, it was chaos at first (he was a bit excited) then I saw the cone. That cone was HUGE!! I swear, he can probably get cable service from China with that cone. Poor pup! Sachi looked so pathetic leaving the vet that my heart broke walking him out.

Fortunately, my heartache turned to giggles as our poor little dog made three (yes three) attempts to get into the car with this gigantic cone in his way. Finally, he gave up and pretty much ignored the car and my calls to get him inside! I finally had to lift him up, squeeze the cone through the door frame and off we went!

So that brings you to the present where he's as active as ever (wouldn't you think that he would be asleep after yesterday's ordeal??) He's trying to maneuver with the cone (picture a baby trying to walk and just bobbling all over the place!) but he's definitely getting better at it. He seems to have his appetite back and is back to driving Nugget insane (she's now trying to steal his treats and food! Such a silly cat. :) ) Jr has lost all fear in Sachi - I found him attempting to snuggle into the cone as Sachi's asleep (I later found Jr. kneading Sachi's butt. Too funny! Poor pup didnt know what was going on!).

He's doing great, despite the circumstances. I'll keep you posted on how he's doing. :)
