We're trying to help Cookie see the bright side of her new head cone, but so far she's not impressed, and can't figure out why we've made a big deal about a little flesh wound. While on a free-wheeling hike around the neighbourhood yesterday, Cookie managed to run into something that gashed her front right leg, just above her elbow. It was a big laceration, and although she was walking around fine, when we called the emergency vet, he recommended that we take her in to have it stitched up this morning. It looks like it's held together with 12 or so stitches, and she's got a head cone on, and somehow we have to keep it on her, and keep her indoors, for two weeks!

| Smiley is taking this as hard as Cookie- she can't stand being inside, but howls and howls for Cookie when we bring her outside |

| It's snowing, and the pups are looking outside longingly |

We'll pass on your get well wishes to the patient :)
Love Lauren and Colin
Awhhh poor puppies indeed! If you want any tips, I've been through it a few times. Neosporin in good for the wound, and healing ... it's non-toxic enough that it won't make Cookie sick if she does lick it.
