Collars Part 2
While yesterday I waxed poetic about all the cute collars I’ve been collecting for Greta, I have to address a collar of a different nature that she has also had to wear.
You know what I’m talking about…the collar that’s more of a cone, and makes your dog look like a crazy drunk party-goer who took a lampshade and decided it would make a nice upside down hat.
Fortunately, Greta has only had to wear her “Elizabethan collar”, as the vets so kindly describe it, once. Oh, it’s not a pretty story, and I will share it in a day or two, but the gist is she was bit by another dog at the dog park, and she wound up with a drain and several stitches, and the lovely collar.
And, of course, it happened the day before we were heading to Lake Tahoe for vacation, so here is a pic of Greta’s first experience with Lake Tahoe.
(That’s Greta on the left, fyi.)
All in all, she was a good sport about the whole thing, up until the day before she was supposed to get her sticthes out, when she got all excited and decided to do it herself. That got her a few more days with the E-collar.
Since then, I’ve done some research, and think I may get one of these or these to have on hand just in case.
Hopefully I’ll never need it!
