longer version of the story- my poor buddy.
he had a growth btn his toes, and it’s been driving us both bats for a couple months now. he licked it until he had a yeast infection that took 3 wks of antibiotics to tame, all the way up his front legs.
the only thing that wd keep him from licking was a full cone, and he cant wear that 24/7. wont fit through the dog door, and there‘s not enough room in the bed.
decided he was never going to stop licking til it was gone, so that happened tues.
he came home w a pressure bandage he needed to keep on for at least 2-3 days. it lasted 1. and of course, i have no tape in the house. so he currently has a mcgiver of oversize bandaids and a smartwool sock.
somewhere in my spacetime continuum is an extra large cone, but i’ve looked and looked and it seems to have a cloaking mechanism or something. it vanished several times in all this. still trying to figure that 1 out. the sock stays on til the cone returns.
on the plus side for him, he needs meds that have to be taken w food. so he not only gets to eat twice a day instead of 1, he gets a bedtime snack. good thing i’ve managed to get him down to a rly good weight.

i’ve decided next time i take a flight, imma borrow the donut. it looks comfy, and i’ll get some laughs. and it’s a lovely shade of purple.
