Not a happy camper. . .

Or maybe she is, she's pretty doped up at the moment, so maybe she's quite pleased with the situation. . . Most likely not. . . Mini-B is now a fixed pooch, so she won't be a mama. . . This is pretty rare in Costa Rica, as most people opt not to spay or neuter their dogs and cats. . . No worries, we're not going to go Bob Barker on you, but we just didn't want Mini-B dragging back from a night on the town at some point and getting a bundle of little surprises months later. . . She has to wear the halo for 10 days after surgery (she also had a tooth pulled, so it wasn't really a good day for her). . . When we first brought her home, she was walking backwards, as if she could back out of the halo. . . When the drugs wear off, it's probably going to be a challenge to keep it on her. . . The silver down below is something that the vet put on to help seal the wound. . . She goes back in a week to get her stitches out. . . Lucy was nearly in tears when we picked her up at the vet's office. . . Mini-B was shivering and shaking and didn't know what the sam hill was going on. . . I voted to wire her up to the satellite in hopes of getting free pay-per-view. . . That idea didn't go over very well. . .

At least she has a see-though model. Jiji's was opaque and she banged into everything. Tip: If you take it off it is nearly impossible to get back on.

unfortunately, the see-through model doesn't help mini-b out that much. . . she still runs into things. . . i hate to admit it, but it is amusing in a train-wreck sort of way. . . she'll make a break to get outside, and miscalculate and smack into the door jamb, bounce back and look pitiful. . .
