For Brooke: although i don't have a cute child to post pictures of i have a sweet dog.


First of all these are in no particular order. The cone of shame is a recent thing. He was neutered yesterday and he has been very sad. He does not like the cone of shame but he is getting better at walking with it. Last night he wouldn't make it more than a step because it would get caught on the carpet since he walks trying to smell everything.



He did get a bigger home for his time with the cone of shame (thanks Carolyn) but he doesn't really enjoy it. He has been so sad. i feel so bad for the little guy but he's a little better today than he was yesterday and I'm sure he'll get back to himself pretty soon. Side note, he has been very afraid of other dogs since the neutering. every time he goes outside and hears the dogs he starts whimpering and shaking. maybe he thinks the other dogs did it to him. hope he gets over that soon.




The rest of the pictures are from Ray Ray's happier days, the days when he still had his manhood. He loves to chew on things, even the house at times :( he can go through a raw hide in three days. he just loves them. we love them too because they keep him from chewing on the banister and chairs.



He loves David.




He is just too cute!




And surprisingly he likes to be swaddled. We started doing this as a game but it really calms him down and sometimes he'll stay cuddling this way for a few minutes.




He's my baby Ray Ray.

He is such a wonderful little doggie. He'll perk up as soon as he is rid of the "cone of shame."

Love you!

(my posting word was dishes!)

Yea! A post AND a shout out in the title! It doesn't get better than that! Roxy's cone of shame didn't last more than three days. She kept running into things and trying to cuddle with us cone and all. It was just too much. Luckily she left her incision alone. Ray Ray is so cute. He reminds me of Toto. I love him!

We got a cone of shame for Stickers, but never ended up using it.

Poor Ray-Ray.

Ha I'm going to miss the old Ray Ray. Hopefully he's perky again next time I visit :) Whenever that is...

It was amazing to see how much he had perked up between Tuesday and Thursday & how well he was getting around with the "cone of shame".
