Kona...or....Cone-A

Our little Kona got spayed and micro chipped on Friday...She did really well! We dropped her off at 7am on Friday morning and was advised to pick her up at 5pm that evening. When I picked her up, I walked to the front counter and said,

"Hi, I'm Kona's mommy,"

Their faces lit up with delight! (hmmmmm I thought....that can't be good. Why are they so happy to see me?) They brought her to me looking like your regular ole' circus dog, with a cone for her to wear for 10 days.

"Is she always this hyper?" the doctor said.

"Uhhhh, pretty much" I told them.

The doctor said she did great, and that most dogs should be groggy for the next two days...except something tells her that Kona is not going to be groggy.

"Great" I thought. "Leave it to MY dog to be the psycho on pain meds, and for me to worry abut her ripping her tummy open."

We got home and I take the cone off for a rest. She doesn't even notice the stitches....GREAT! After several hours, I was thinking this would be an easy 10 days. Just as I thought that to myself, Roxy, our other dog runs over and starts licking them for her. At tha moment, Kona realized she had something strange on her tummy. THANK YOU ROXY! Kona only wears the cone when we are leavng the house or at night time while we can't watch her....and....she doesn't even mind it one bit!

She under estimates how close things are to her, sh she runs into EVERY wall, corner, door or person.

Thre is showing off her shaved tummy, and her little shaved spot where she had her IV.

Looking beautiful...even while wearing "The Cone of Shame"
