Hi, I’m Lucy. I know I said I wasn’t going to start blogging until after I had fully recovered from the cut the vetdoc made on my belly. But I think you, my new friends, need to know what has happened around here. First, I kept waking Amy up during the night with what she called my incest licking. Or something like that. I couldn’t help it, the glued-together cut on my belly has been bothering me. She punished me by going out all alone with Jeff to a place called church this morning. When they got back, Amy took one look at my red belly and put this thing on me. I don’t understand why she would put something on me that she said would interfere with my prayerful vision. Or something like that. I can only see what is right in front of me, and I am freaking out every time I get a glimpse of something off to the side. What if aliens are coming at me? Or squirrels?
I know there is a boat in the driveway, so I thought maybe this was my life vest and we were going boating. Nope, just a walk down the street and back, and not a very long one at that. I am being a very good girl. Can anyone help me get this off?

Oh, you poor thing! Like some of the others have said, a donut is better than a cone and looks somewhat comfortable if you actually lay down on it (???) We are humans so we might now understand 🙂 I hope you get better soon!!

Amy tried the hard lampshade first but it was too small and I woke her up again licking. I am getting the idea that is not a good thing to do. She kicked me out of the bedroom. Well, not kicked as with her foot. But she opened the door and told me to get out then shut it once I got to the other side. Who is Mom #2?

OMGoodness, L. Not having “prayerful vision” sounds dangerous. Plus boring. You could miss floor food, crumbs, spiders, or toys out of your sight. That ring looks more comfy than the cone I had to wear. I looked like an idiot in that thing. Plus, Mom’s old dog took her own stitches out once, so there’s that…. Stay strong, sweetie. Soon this will all be behind you and wild and crazy playtime will be ahead.

Hi Lucy: Humans do these things for our own good (although I don’t always agree with them!). I’ve never had to wear one of those things but, a long time ago now, I was feeling really sick and a vet pushed a humungous needle thing into my lower back. I could not find a comfortable position to rest in after that and hardly slept that night. I later had two more repeats! Anyway, after being confined for a few months, I started to feel so much better so I guess they knew what they were doing! Be patient friend Lucy. Woof! Ray.
