Piglet sleeps with his tail curled up, just like a pig’s tail.

Ear of Judgment
I’m still not sick of taking photos of my cone-free dog. Maybe tomorrow I’ll find something more exciting? For now, though, that face is the best thing ever.
Bath Time for Frances
I had intended to give Frances a bath last night, because she was ridiculously stinky after being in a cone for a month, but I decided against it. I felt like she had had enough excitement for one day.
So today was bath day. And new collar day. The vet had used her old pink skull collar to strap down her cone, and it was too stinky to salvage.
Aside from her bath, Frances spent the day alternating between napping and playing rolly-poly.
Find the Staple
Frances had her stitches and staples removed this morning. HALLELUJAH! I brought her home and went straight to work, because I was afraid I wouldn’t find parking if I didn’t hurry.
Which means I didn’t look closely at her belly. I took a photo when I got home and posted it to Facebook. Someone pointed out the missed staple, and thankfully the vet’s office was still open, so no harm done.
The staple was removed, and Franny is now 100% free of all sutures. No more cone. No more pills. No more restriction from getting on the furniture.
Frances is a happy, happy girl.
Somebody’s watching me
The SuperPhoto app is making the rounds on Facebook. It has several Banksy filters, and this one is killing me. Srsly dying here, folks.
22 Hours and counting…
The Countdown Continues
Twenty-four hours to go.
That is all. As you were, comrades.
38 Hours to Cone-free
“Are you there, God? It’s me, Frances. I just want to ask if I’ll ever get rid of this cone?”
Piglet the Genealogist
I spent all day working on resolving ONE problem on my error list. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe it.
And the reason I was at home playing amateur genealogist, instead of at work where I belonged? Last night the lower section of Franny’s incision started to get a little oozy. I was afraid it had gotten infected or that she was having a reaction to the stitches, so I stayed home today so I could take her to the vet to get checked out. Verdict: seroma. Not an infection, and not a problem with the stitches, so we’re still on track to have everything removed on Thursday morning.
While we were at the vet, Piglet decided to get on my laptop (um, literally) and do a little genealogical research of his own. I came home to find he’d been familiarizing himself with Legacy Family Tree.
I Requested a See-through Cat
Piglet stole my seat, and then when I moved him, he parked himself in front of the TV. Jerk.
In other news, Frances is counting the hours until Thursday morning. Suture removal cannot come quickly enough. She’s sick and tired of the cone and of not being allowed on the furniture.
