maybe i’ll dream about chasing a squirrel

Why does a dog chew on his splint? How can you stop your dog from chewing on his splint? Do dogs dream?

Soon it was time for me and my mom to leave and go back home.

This time, I had a new collar, an even larger collar, to make sure that I didn’t continue to chew at my bandages and splint.

I also was given a new little bag to slip my leg into when we went outside, instead of the plastic trash bag. This new bag, a “protective boot”, slips on over my sock and closes easily. That’s good because it will make it easier for me to go outside!

To show my parents how much I appreciated my trip to the animal hospital, I started chewing on my bandage right away when we at home and I was before my mom could put the new collar on me.  She was not very happy about that.

Here is a picture of me in my new and larger collar, with the bandages slightly chewed at. I’m not wagging my tail in this picture.  I am not very happy about this.  I’ve been much more comfortable.

Life is going to pass very slowly for a while.  I’ll just lie in my bed and sigh. Maybe I’ll sleep and dream of running with my dad, or trying to play with a bunny rabbit, or running after squirrel. Or maybe I’ll just dream about life without this collar!
