This morning when mom was combing me she noticed this and freaked! Yes, I did scratch my surgery area but I didn't scratch the stitches! I was careful to go around them but she saw 3 claw marks on my face and told me that I had to wear the soft e-collar! OH NO!
I can't believe that mom could be so cruel! I purposely bump into her so she notices how bummed I am and takes this dumb thing off!
See my tail? When it's curled around my hiney like this it means that I'm am not a happy girl at all! I'm just miserable! I walk around and I just can't get comfy at all!
Please mom! Won't you please take this thing off? I'm begging you! I promise not to scratch anymore!
My new year is sure not off to a great start!
Happy New Year to everyone else but ME!
Love,
Maggie
hope the e collar is off you in no time !!
ReplyDeleteOh no is right!!!! OK, maybe you can just go back to following your Mom around all the time so she can watch you???? Just a few days maybe??? It will get better, I promise.
ReplyDeleteLots of Licks, Ruby
Poor Maggie. I think the clear plastic collar is better because you can see where you are going. Plus it hurts more when you ram Mitch with it.
ReplyDeleteI hope your boo-boos heal soon.

Hope you get better soon and get the collar off! I hate those things....

Oh no Maggie! The collar is for the best. Once you are all better it will be gone and you won't even remember it. I know it's hard.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got spayed, I had to wear one. They only put it one me one time and the second that it was on I placed my head on the floor and would not move. BOL!
Keep getting better friend!
Kisses

Hi Maggie, Its not too bad really. This will just mean that your new year can only get better.
ReplyDeleteHeal up soon, Maggie.

Ohhh noooo the collar! how awful! Tesla the kitten had to wear one a few times, and every time she jumped on something she'd bounce right back off! hahahahahhahaha its much funnier on a cat!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year maggie, Mitch and Mom.
ReplyDeleteOh Maggie! We are sending you lots of hugs. Your momma is just taking good care of you. Don't worry, you are such a fast healer that you will not have to wear that collar for very long.
We love you!

I'm sure your fast-dale powers will heal in no time!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Maggoe, Mitch and your Mommy & Daddy!!
ReplyDeleteI am so bad. I just found out about your surgery. What kind of friend am I that I haven't been by to visot with you guys but I blame it all on the Mommy. Please forgive me.
We had a wonderful time with the Dachsies at Christmas but I was naughty and the Mommy was very ashamed of me. Looks you had a pawsome Christmas to.
Here's hoping you have a lovey day. We had a very scary start to 2009. The Mommy is gonna blog about it tonight.
Sonce ya got some snow can you send the some pictures of you playing in the snow?
kisses and huggies....Mona & the Mommy too!!
Oh, Maggie! You poor thing! Maybe if you PROMISE your mom not to scratch and give her the sad eyes, she'll take that monstrosity off of you! :(
ReplyDeleteThis is no way to break in the New Year!
Love,
Ammy
Oh, poor poor Maggie! It makes me sad just to see you in that awful torture device - I mean e-collar. I hope your boo boo heals fast so you won't have to wear it much longer.
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Joey
Poor Poor Maggie! You know momma does it for your own good because she loves you so much.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon and stop scratching!
Happy New Year!!!!!
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie! It's going to be itchy as it heals. Just be glad your mom isn't making you wear the plastic lampshade! And no more scratching! Don't worry...your 2009 will get much better!
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
pooooorrrr Maggie. when we saw your tail like that, we knew it was serious sad times. we don't like to see you in such misery. try to talk your mom into putting socks on you so you can't scratch yourself. maybe she can have you wear a protective scarf around your face. there has to be some way for you to not wear that miserable cone head. pooor poooor Maggie.
ReplyDeletewoofs.
Poor Maggie..... Ok, maybe week 2 of 2009 will be better.
ReplyDeleteKisses, Faya
Maggie...
ReplyDeleteBless your heart!! I pray you heal super-duper fast!!
Love,
Janie
Oh Miss Maggie... I was afraid that would happen. Those things are EVIL, pure EVIL. Mama reminded me that when I had my foxtails removed from my toes I had to wear SOCKS, which was almost as awful. If I took off my socks I was going to have to wear an e-collar. So maybe a sock (well, ok, maybe NOT a sock but something tied around your head) might work?
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking about you :)
Much Aire Zen & Big Aire Kisses to you, and a big Happy New Yaire to Mitch and the family!
Love,
Bogart
Maggie,
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry your new year is off to such a rough start. Maybe if you look really really sad, your people will feel bad and at least give you more treats (maybe even the great pizzas they eat!!).
Once your booboo is better, we hope your 2009 turns out to be amazing!
Comet and BLU
Oh No!!! We haven't been visiting(since Mom has been poorly) and we come here to see you had splurgery!!!! Oh Maggie, we are so happy it went well. Now, listen, I know that thing is a real pain, but really it is lots better than the hard plastic cones. And if you bust open your incision, they'll have to start all over again!!! So please,please try to put up with it for just a little while so you can heal all up, ok??
ReplyDeleteWe love you (and Mitchy too)
Happy New Year
Hugs
Sunny&Scooter
Oh, Maggie, that's so sad. But your mom wants you to heal and not get an infection. So hang on, it won't be forever!
ReplyDeleteOh NO! E-collar torture!! we are sorry :(
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you having to do dat torture stuff but we hopes you will get better real soon. We also hope you all have a wonderfurr New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh no Maggie! We hope the collar will come off again in no time at all :( Maybe if you keep looking miserable your Mom will have compassion on you.
ReplyDeletePoor Maggie, you do look unhappy and miserable, and we are so sorry. We know your mom just wants to make sure that you don't get the stitches pulled loose or infected, so try to bear the collar with dignity and grace, OK?
ReplyDeletegussie
Gee Maggie...

I just found out about your surgery, too. I'm glad you got it over with at least, but that collar's just goes with the territory. Mom puts it on us and doesn't care how silly we look. She'll even laugh if we get our face down and we look like a lampshade's on our heads. She's so mean...
ReplyDeleteGet well soon,
Rudy
Oh, poor Maggie! Ozzie can sympathize with you about that terrible cone. He knows all about that! We sure hope that your boo boo gets well soon so that you can get rid of that thing! Hope that you all have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOzzie & Rocky
Me's SO sorry you have to be a cone head. All moomies get mean like that sometimes. It must be for your own good to wear that thing but that doesn't help to know that, does it. My moomie says things will get better soon when me's not happy. Let's hope it's true for you.
ReplyDeleteLevi
Hi, Maggie

Please be careful!

Let us know if you need some help...I can bring Scruffy along to play some poker with Mitch, kay???

Laciegirl XXOOXXOO
Oh Maggie, you have to wear the lampshade? Looking at your shaved side of head made me leaked!
ReplyDeleteLet me kiss it to help it heals quicker!
Happy New Year to Maggie and Mitch.
You year 2009 will be a better one!
Muahhh!
Sweet Maggsie!
ReplyDeleteI could tell by the curve of your tail that you were bummin'. My girl says it's for your own good, but we sympathize with you girlie!
We noticed in your last post that you've been getting the royal treatment, except for the e-collar torture. We're sending you big juicy goober smooches to help you heal, and please share some with Mitch for being less of a PIA, and some with your sweet mama for taking such good care of you, and with your dad for sharing his ice cream!
Whew! Get some rest, sistah! Can't wait to see you without the collar!
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley
Oh.. you sure dont look happy there. I'm sure it'll be off very soon Maggie. Be patient
ReplyDelete~ Bae
Dearest Maggie
ReplyDeleteI love you whether you have the stupid lampshade on or not.
Precious one.
Hope your lampshade is lifted very soon.........and hope you feel better soon too!
thinking of you, and barking for you.
Marvin xxxxx
Oh Maggie - I can relate - Ma made me wear one too when I had a boo boo and I got it off by driving her crazy. I wouldn't lay down or sit for hours - I just stood there and stared into a corner - she finally gave in. Psst... try it!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Maggie. We Airedales heal really fast.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, you poor thing!!!! I'll see if I can find an article for you to show your Mom that says e-collars make you heal slower. I'm sure there's one out there somewhere!
