Lola had her followup vet visit today to remove her sutures.... and for those who don't have the stomach for that kind of thing, I will refrain from posting pictures... Unfortunately, the vet wants her to stay calm and keep wearing her cone for 1 more week.... ugh
This has been a tough two weeks. Not much play time, no longs walks, and even when we took a road trip to Charleston, Lola only caught glimpses of the horses.... Lola did however get some valuable nap time with Ashley.
and of course, Lola was a true champ in the car, even taking a moment to pose for a quick family portrait...
We have felt pretty bad that she has been cooped up with her cone on this whole time, so Ashley and Patrick have been giving her bits of freedom, and letting her have some supervised time without the cone.
Needless to say she was raring to go, and couldn't wait to try on her new winter coat...
Due to the collar, Lola hasn't seen the sun in 2 weeks... Lola caught up on some much needed napping in the sun.
After everyone had spent 2 weeks giggling about her cone, she decided a tough-girl image was going to be necessary to show everyone who's boss. Lola showed her first signs of being a protective guard dog, and had her first attempt at scaring away intruders.... Victim #1, a young boy outside taking pictures.... (notice the hair standing up on her back!)
