There I was getting all excited about losing this wretched cone and now it looks like I shall be wearing it for at least another week. The main part of my scab came off yesterday and whilst that\u2019s sort of good news as most of my leg is healing, it showed there was still a staple which needed removing. Our Mistress discussed with me whether she should take it out and I just gave her that look! The one that says \u2018do you really know what you\u2019re doing?\u2019. Anyway, she concluded that she didn\u2019t and that I would not appreciate it if she got it wrong, so off we went to the vet. It turns out it was a good job she didn\u2019t try as you need a special tool to get them to come out easily and we don\u2019t have one of those. Our Mistress was half expecting to say I could take the cone off and she was being over cautious. However, what the vet actually said was that it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry and it\u2019s probably going to be another week before I\u2019m ready to be left to my own devices. That means another week wearing the cone for me and another week on the settee for our Mistress. All I can say is it\u2019s a good job she\u2019s got a nice comfy sofa bed now else she\u2019d be even less thrilled than she is\u2026 or make me sleep on my own, which would be horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilma is supposed to be working hard on her training ahead of next week. She did ok in her class this week, but our Mistress says she\u2019s going to have to do better than that without the treats next week. Her biggest sin this week was talking in class\u2026 or more to the point shouting, which she did at regular intervals because she didn\u2019t know the other dogs and because she was bored. Hopefully next week will go ok or our Mistress is going to be very fed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
