The Cone of Shame

So the Mad-Dog has had a crummy few months.  Back in November we had to have her ACL worked on...animal surgery isn't something Brian and I would normally do but the vet said a dog her age would recover very well...so we did it...she healed up nicely after her 10 weeks...and then one day she just started limping again...back to square one...the vet re examined her and found out the band in her acl had broken again...so the poor Mad-Dog had to go through surgery again...this time on the vet's bill..which was so gracious of him! Needless to say she is not  happy camper right now!
Here we are on our way to surgery number 2...
This is the day after...the cone of shame...it is a terrible thing!
"Seriously guys...I hate my life right now" She is red colored from the heat lamp in her house!

Poor Maddy! Surgery is no fun for dogs. Plus the cone has to be gigantic because their snouts are so long (at least for Lizzy). At least she is able to get into her dog house :( Hope she's feeling better soon!

Poor doggy! Hope he's feeling better. Fiona hated her cone of shame too, she was always trying to figure out ways to get it off of her head.
