Saturday morning my plan for a relaxing weekend at home was abruptly turned around in a different direction.
My soak in the foot spa, new cucumber mask, and hot oil treatment self spa day will just have to wait because for the next 5 days my little buddy is back in his "lamp shade of shame."
Exhibit A:
The Bronxster is not a happy camper and hasn't been all weekend. It makes me feel so bad for him but I have to keep reminding myself that it is for his own good. I guess I wouldn't feel as bad if he hadn't just gotten out of the damn cone 6 months ago, which he was in for over 3 weeks!
Unfortunately, a nasty little infection around his incision site where his ummm, jewels were removed last week has left the poor fella on antibiotics twice per day and to help speed up healing time and prevent further infection he's back in the cone until Thursday.
Sadly, playing hasn't been the easiest option for passing the time and since he can't run yet and its pushing 100 degrees outside lately several short walks are all we have been able to fit in to expel some of that built up energy.
So, is it Thursday yet? We are BEYOND ready to banish the Lamp Shade of Shame!
We've spend the weekend tending to him, maneuvering him around the house and trying to keep him comfortable. Its been a chore but its just one of those things. When your babies get sick - Mama doesn't get a break!
But I wont lie, it hasn't been all bad - it is somewhat funny to see him bounce off of door frames and the island bar because he hasn't yet figured out his head is now 3 times wider than normal! Ha!
aww, that little (well BIG) fella looks pitiful!!! I hate when the fur babies are sick. Gracie was not a good patient either. I am glad that is over with. Hope Thursday comes fast!!!
