Simone is getting along fairly well. She certainly is not used to the e collar. She rams into objects (and us) on a regular basis. I tried to give her a respite from it this morning, but she had to remain in my sight. I know as soon as she would be out of my sight, she would begin the licking and gnawing on the stitches.
I took a picture before we removed the bandage. I will upload it this week.
Even if I get it uploaded this week, I doubt that I will be able to post it until next week. We are off, through the fires, to the SSB. I say through the fires because unless we go WAY out of the way to drive through San Antonio, we have to go through the Bastrop area. So - through the fires. I think they are a little more contained than they were. At least I hope.
The problem with being at the SSB (that stands for Sting, Sticks, or Bites - because that is what everything there does - it is rough land!), is that my dear phone - with its supposed internet capabilities - does not work well there. AND I still have about a year on the contract. Then I can go back to my old carrier. You really do get what you pay for. This was a tad cheaper, and the service is waaaaay worse. Lesson learned.
If I cannot visit you all, have a safe and pleasant week. We will be back here in Swampland (that is quickly becoming desert) next Tuesday. I will visit you on Wednesday!
Peace

I hope the SSB is a good respite for all of you. BTDT with the e-collar. You've probably already experienced being rammed in the back of the knees and being taken down to the floor. I hope Simone has a fast recovery - for all your sakes.
I hope Simone heals fast so he can stop crashing into things! Funny you mentioned what the SSB means because I looked in your archives a few months ago because I was curious about it! Sounds like a rough place! Hopefully at least it's on a lake or something!
Give Simone a big hug from South Carolina.
Have a good week and we'll chat next week!
Well - we changed plans. We are putting off the trip for a week. I feel much better about that!
The SSB is near NO water at all. It is at the edge of the Texas Hill Country - where the zone is becoming desert. It is rough. We have no surface water on the place - only our well that we are praying will hold through this drought. Lots and lots of cactus - hence the name!!
Thanks for your comments!
I always feel so sorry for them when they have to wear the collar..they look so goofy.
