Roe

[Bethers]

Glad Roe's on all 4 - was about to come ask and decided I should check this thread. Can't wait to see Roe on the trails here. Hope he's all ready for them!

I have a funny (kind of) story about those cones and Moxie (remember Moxie?) She could not wear a cone. One vet, after removing a broken claw, told me "Sure she can". I told them they could try and after 15 minutes with it on her, let me know. It didn't make it 15 minutes. Moxie hated wearing anything - except her collar which she hated being without, go figure. She would beat her head against all surfaces to get the collar off. She has cracked two (at 2 different vets - this was the 2nd) and was in the process of giving herself a concussion when they said they couldn't chance it. She also wouldn't leave any bandage on - would have it off before leaving the vets. They finally decided she had to be allowed to heal on her own. Without the cone or bandages, I could keep her from licking the areas - usually. Luckily she always healed, because she was known for cracking and breaking claws.

So, I'm glad that Roe handled the cone better than Moxie ever did. I hope Peaches never needs one, but if she does, I hope she handles it. Both vets told me they had never seen anything like it. Well, what would you expect from a dog of mine?

Well my bad. I took him for a walk without the cone & he did so well I decided to leave it off a few minutes when we got home. Soon as I got distracted he sneaked into the other room and had at it....almost got the staple out and caused a little bleeding. Looks ok now, but no more collar off until the staple gets pulled Monday & the vet says ok...he may have to leave it on awhile longer.

I’m as happy as can be, I want you all to know..
Nothing ever worries me, There is no cone on me!



I’ve got no cone so I have fun, licking my paw with my tongue.
I’ve had a cone, but now I’m free, There is no cone on me!

Dear Roe,

I'm so very glad you're all better!
And from the looks of your tongue, you sure didn't need those my Mom sent to help you!

Puppy Hugs and Kissies to you.

Love,
Abby

I'm so happy for you, Roe! Now you don't have to be a cone head anymore.

Anybody want to go for a walk or something?



(They've both had walks since this was taken)

Oh, Liz, I am so glad Roe is up to hiking with you. Looks like Bandit was totally wore out before the walk. Such tough lives for those two!!

Glad to know Roe is doing so well. Good to see Bandit again.
