Snip-snip time? 🪓
Geddy had a post-surgical thing like an infant’s “onesie” that worked wonders after he got fixed.
Darned thing got dirty and “soiled,” but was pretty easy to deal with versus a cone of shame.
Ollie was in a cone for 4 (?) weeks once after a Mast Cell Tumor surgery and it was a challenge.
I sincerely hope no serious health issues?!?!

First one of his testicles did not drop so we were worried longer term about cancer. From our understanding that can increase probability. So that was the reason. we really weren’t sure if he had another one…they found it, and it was not normal size so it’s just as well we had this done now (we were sort of on the fence about it and we did not want to do it earlier until we thought he was done growing).
second, since we were taking him in we also went ahead and had his stomach tacked…we’ve done that with all of our shepherds if they are going in for another surgery.
everything seems to have gone well…he has a learning to navigate doors, furniture and stairs and with the added enjoyment of the cone of shame. Doesn’t seem to be ready to try the doggy door yet
. He’s normally pretty active and in his heart he can fly…so he will be doped up to keep him sedated and we will also keep him leash.our older female I swear she smiled when we brought Huey home today.

Huey seems to be getting back to normal activities…he even made a 4 hour trip. we still have to keep him sedated but he seems to be recovering fine. He will not go to the bathroom with the damn cone on though…so we shuttle it on / off a lot. Otherwise he’s fine. Still able to mooch food and has figured out how to flip it up with the cone and catch it.

Hardy loved fishing for Springs.
but he loved his ladies a little bit more. He sired amazing litters. Gone at 7.5 years old due to diabetes. Been a year now but sure is missed.
The "new" pup is now 1.5 years old and slow learner compared to Hardy. Glad to have Sako all the same even though he's a pain in the azz!

Geddy has never had toasted marshmallows.
Mom and Ollie had them for years and she was reluctant to share them with the “new guy,” even though he is over 2 now.
I think he likes them . This is #2.

My ol boy finally got a bath…and a professional blow drying with a leaf blower!
Something wrong with this dog!
It's 92 degrees out. That driveway must be a zillion degrees, yet she loves to lay in the sun. The yellow lab wants no part of it - he heads for the shade on days like this and parks his butt there.

That’s is different! Can’t be trying to get a tan.?. Maybe trying to bleach her hair to be a blonde or yellow lab like her brother?. Lol

Ouch!!! Black lab on sunny blacktop at 92 doesn’t sound good.
Gosh - our Boxer seeks shade and cool grass above 80 or so.

Must be a black dog thing, our Rott goes out to the deck and lays down in the full sun. I understand this in the middle of winter, but like your dog, he is doing it in the heat of the summer. We have a shade tree or part of the deck that has an overhang or he could go under the deck, but no, he lays out there in the sun.
