Yup, time to rid ourselves of some excess vegetable matter again! This time the vegetable of choice was CELERY. Mom and dad had a bag of it that wasn’t as crisp as they’d like it to be (sitting in the refrigerator for more than a week or so will do that to a veggie) so…

5 more freaking days. Well at least the vet took the bandage off today.  He suggested (firmly) that I must wear the “cone” and I gave mom a look of confusion.  She smiled sweetly while making the face that says “not now, I’ll tell you what that means later…” and we got to leave. Mom…

Today dad took me on my walk (no dog park again, grrrrrrr) and told me that it’s Memorial Day.  A day to honor soldiers who’ve fought in wars. Well, that’s a lot for a little Airedale to wrap his mind around.  So we went to a WW1 memorial statue and I got to hear a…

No dog park for me today… grumble grumble grumble… since yesterday’s little bandage incident I haven’t been allowed to really run free to much which is making me cranky. Mom and dad seemed to sense the crankiness and so we took a longish walk this morning behind our house.  I heard lots of noise, music,…

Well that bandage didn’t last long… I was at the dog park this morning – so happy to be there and run around with my Airedale buddies and other doggie friends – when it happened.  First the sock started to fly off and then, as if in slow motion, the entire bandage came off with…

Well, it looks like I’ve got a few more days with the bandage… we went to the vet this morning and they whisked me into the back, took a look at my paw, then rebandaged me up and sent me back to the humans.  5 more days. Did I tell you how the first bandage…

This has actually been quite the full day for me… on my *hopefully* last day of sock-confinement. Tomorrow morning I’ve been warned that we’re heading back to the vet to have the bandage removed, and if all goes well, I should be ok after that. No more socks. Paws crossed. I had quite the great…

(ohmygosh, do you see how AIREDALE my shadow looks???) I only got to see a little action outside today because of my paw… but I’m proud to say that I haven’t chewed on it at all, contrary to what the vet was sure I was going to do. Mom and dad have outfitted me with…

Obviously from this photo it’s ME. Mom and dad had been going back and forth about the “Elizabethan collar”.  Dad kept saying that I would definitely rip off my bandage overnight and should wear it, mom saying that I hadn’t really even noticed the bandage much so I would probably be ok… The vet had…
