Today was Cooper’s last trip to the vet, to get the stitches taken out. His paw is healed! I still can’t take him out to run after the tennis ball at 90 miles an hour or to race over rocks to swim in the waves, but we can go for long walks.
Whew. Glad that’s over.

I’m happy for both of you. I’m also a “dog person” and if he gets sick or hurt I go crazy with worry.

What a sweet looking pup! Doesn’t that face just make you want to kiss it all over?
I hope he gets to do all his favorit things soon enough!
Good on you for taking such good care of this cuty pie.

Congratulations, Cooper. It is such a relief to know creatures who don’t feel resentment, who never conspire against their fellows, who are–as it were–free from sin.

I remember how hard it was to keep my dog, a shelter rescue who wasn’t neutered until he was about 18 months old, from licking his incision. Those cone collars definitely have their place, no matter how guilty it made you feel to use one. But I’m glad he doesn’t need it anymore.
