awaiting clever idea for title

those of you for whom i fail to paint a picture with my words will be pleased, as i've uploaded a few images from the week of the leg.

first, here is a picture of star the first night becky and ich were back in town. post injury, pre surgery. most definitely post painkiller prescription.

this is just a delicious pork roast i made

dogs on painkillers, part deux

this is the patient. notice the look of misery on her face. this was just after we hauled her out of the truck and got her settled in for the night. and this wasn't even the worst of it. i lost my journalistic edge and failed to blog her most pitiful faces. there's still time though. were i not too lazy to enlarge the eye, you would notice perhaps that the dog looks wasted which is a great look for her.


and this is the promising part. this is stars new elizabethan collar. its meant to help her resist the temptation of licking her wound, which would do something bad to the sutures. i couldn't help myself when i saw this in the store. once i stop feeling so bad for her, i'm going to want to be amused:


i think a dog with a hot pink collar ought to do the trick.

OMG! The dreaded e collar!! A busted leg and something around your head that blinds you and catches on things while you walk around on painkillers?? Sinister... and something I might try myself in the near future.
