which Gwen didn’t get to share

Instead, she spent the day looking miserable and wanting the cone off. We have learned from long experience that dog tongues are rough and can do a lot of damage. So the cone stays. I bought her treats as part of the grocery shopping which she accepted as her due, but still, not a happy camper. Especially since her incision needs to be cleaned and checked regularly. Unlike a human, where you would cover the wound with a non-stick pad and not worry so much, there is this slight issue of fur… you can see the huge shaved area on her back leg and belly.

But there was cake!

and, as my friend Pat and I were discussing – our babies don’t stop growing up. Dani is now 33.
