Awww, she looks so sad.
A week seems long. When Riley got neutered last fall the vet said to keep it on a couple of days but we didn’t use it at all as he didn’t bother with the stitches.

[…] rinse out the night before. It was raining. Emma and I had to drive Piper to the vet’s. (See yesterday’s post.) She barfed in the car. And then pooped outside the car. And I had no choice but to put the poop […]

She was still doped up in this photo, but yes, dogs look pretty sad in their cones. We’ve been getting a lot of sympathetic looks from passers by.
A week does sound long, doesn’t it? A website I was looking at said TWO!
We’ll be going back for a checkup later this week so I will ask about it. She is trying to get at her stitches, so for now we are definitely leaving it on. She is a little better today, thank goodness. It breaks my heart to see her so sad.

Oh, poor puppy. The cone makes it worse…it’s hard to look dignified wearing a cone isn’t it? I hope she feels better soon.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
