dog in post op
the dog’s dreaded cone is off
I am keeping a close eye out
Attempting to keep him from licking his wounds.
Post op surgery is less fun than surgery
of course neither is a carnival
my newly neutered dog is supposed to wear the cone for a week
or ten days
He had surgery forty-six hours ago
He has taken the cone off three times
It causes him lots of stress
We have ordered an inflatable cone
It will be here tomorrow
In the meantime I am urging him to rest and sleep
as he licks his wounds, ignoring my pleas for him to stop
