Well. We've had a long day.

Well. We've had a long day.

We'd been planning to take a day trip to GA at some point while we were off of work. Since we go back Tuesday we were running out of time and went today. We went to the aquarium and then Dave & Busters for dinner (and of course so the boys could play games). Got back home around 1 this morning. We didn't leave until afternoon, though.

Since Scooter had been doing so well I wasn't too worried about leaving him here unsupervised. I guess I should have thought a little bit harder about that. When we got back his incision looked slightly open, even though it had plenty of staples left in it. I guess he decided to mess with it despite his ointment that was supposed to make him feel better and deter him from licking. 🙁

So... I probably have a cone of shame around here somewhere, but I have no idea where. The last one I remember was pretty chewed up by a former foster, so I really don't know. Anyway, I read on the Internet (I freaking love Google) about wrapping a towel around their neck and securing it with tape. So, that's what I've done.

I'm going to stay up a bit longer to observe him and then I'm going to get some sleep. So far, he's had no breathing or licking issues, thank goodness. I guess I will check his incision in the morning and decide if I need to call the vet. Thankfully, the damage didn't look serious, but it was enough that I definitely don't want him messing with it anymore.

He looks so hilariously pitiful right now. He's just lucky it's not a real cone. He's so short that he has trouble walking with those on. 😛
