In the overall scheme of things - especially this year - a dog's injured ear probably doesn't rank as a major deal. But when you weigh all of 15 pounds and lack discernible language skills and opposable thumbs, a bloody boo-boo is still a pretty lousy speed bump in an otherwise charmed life.
She's been in her cone of shame for the entire week, and we took it off for a bit today to eyeball the injury and give her a bit of a break. She hates it, and all the explaining in the world won't make those sad eyes any happier or quiet the near-constant whimpering.
So she gets extra treats, lots of cuddles, and near-constant attention. The ear seems to be slowly trending in the right direction, and the hope is another few days in her snazzy cone will hopefully be enough.
As cones go, it's a keeper, with green paw prints and a lovely textured finish that magically doesn't get stuck on the trees and roots she inevitably goes after on her walks. We take small victories wherever we can find them.
We know all too well that this little chapter in a little life may not merit headlines. But given how much she already has on her shoulders, we nevertheless need her back at full strength.
Something tells me she understands this with absolute clarity.
Feel better soon, little one.
