The Patient

Poor Zoe had surgery yesterday to have a sizeable tumour removed, which luckily was nothing more than a great lump of fat (lipoma). She also had her teeth professionally cleaned while she was under. This will help prevent future gum disease.

I got NO work done yesterday as I was worried sick until she arrived home safe and sound. She is in good spirits today. I'm pretty sure that she doesn't blame us in any way for her ordeal but greeted the vet with a bite yesterday. I forgot to give Voyt the vet-protecting muzzle when he left with the patient.

Today, she needs to be watched, quietly contained indoors and kept from running and jumping (she already ran outside this morning).

Unfortunately, I have to leave Voyt in charge of dog-sitting as I am teaching a class of lovely ladies how to screen-print today. You ask why this is a concern? Probably because he already caused the poor dog to crash into the back door with her Elizabethan-type collar having barely opened it wide enough for her to pass. I am worried. Do you trust your partner?

But I do need to focus on teaching today so stay tuned for screen-printed designs from our class.

oh poor love! I hope she recovers well. I remember trying to keep our darling dog quiet after eye surgery - it was nigh impossible!

Poor little love.
Bronte is still on the slow recovery from her leg operation and somehow managed to chip a bone in her front leg. :-(
I popped into Lilly G yesterday and saw your lovely things front and centre in her shop. Just beautiful

Wishing Zoe a speedy recovery. She does seem to suit her collar, but it must be so uncomfotable.

I love the paw prints on Zoe's collar. It may be uncomfortable but at least he has a fashionable one! I always wonder how dogs eat with those devices but I guess they somehow do. :)

Wishing him a speedy recovery. Enjoy your class Thea and have a great weekend my dear!
