Why Me?

What have I done to deserve this?

First you bundled me in the car 

and took me to that dreaded place

where every year the nice lady 

sticks needles in me even though

I try my very best to snap her hand 

off, but you won't let me. Then a week

later you took me there again and

the nice lady stuck another needle 

in me. The next thing I knew I was

behind bars, it seemed ages until 

you arrived. I felt all dizzy, but

I was pleased to see you until

the nice lady came and helped 

you to stick this stupid thing

around my head before you took

me home in the car. Now I can't lick 

that bald patch on my leg, I'm sure it

tastes good, but that puffy collar gets

in the way. I hate wearing it except at

night when I go to sleep 'cos i've

got a built in pillow. I don't mind that, but

I can't wait for the day it comes off.

Ah! Bless, I think you summed up very well what your poor dog must be feeling.

I understand about the jabs too...had enough of those lately, and I have to have a shingles and pneumonia jab next week, these things have to be done I suppose.

Such a lovely photo too, I hope your dog benefits from his ordeal and is soon on the mend.

Jenny.

The Tacha is doing OK it was a small incision to remove a cyste on her hind leg, but of course she will lick it so she has to wear the collar for a few days although I take it off for walking. Now she is used to it, she doesn't resist when I put it on.

That's a lot of jabs for you, I'm no stanger to needles myself unfortunately

Tacha is OK now she is used to the collar it's a clever thing it fits on a normal dog collar so it doesn't cause dicomfort. The vet loaned it to me.

BTW this has given me an idea for an IP ...... how about PET HATES ? that should bring out some interesting results. :)

Poor one. Though that collar is so much better than buckets with the bottom cut out, which used to be what our dogs got when I was a child. I hope she is better soon!

Tacha is used to the collar now, another three days or so it can come off and I'll return it to the vet who kindly lent it to me. It's a clever thing you use a normal dog collar inside to and it just clips on. I take it off when we go for a walk.

It was just a small incision to remove a cyste on her back leg
