The Cone of Shame

Yesterday we took Andy to get neutered.  Poor puppy didn't know what was coming.

We dropped him off around 7:30.  After they took him back, we finished filling out the paperwork.  As we were doing that a lady came in with 2 cats - Mad Hatter, and Alice.  Well, they took Mad Hatter out of the kennel to weigh him and he freaked.  I have never seen a cat freak out like that.  One of the tech's had to lock the door just in case, because the cat was all over the place, knocking things off the counter, climbing the walls (literally).  The poor cat was terrified.  Finally he stayed in one place and the tech put on some really big, heavy duty gloves, pulled the cat down, and put him into a cage.  The place was a mess afterwards because the cat knocked practically everything off the counter.  Connor and I thought it was appropriate that the name of the crazy cat was Mad Hatter.

Anyway, we picked Andy up around 10:30.  I guess he was the first one that they did, so he was done fast.  He was really groggy, but excited to see us.  He didn't have a cone on because they said that he wasn't licking so they didn't think he'd need it.  Well, after we were home for about an hour he started to lick at it, so we drove back to the vet and got him fitted for a cone.  The Cone of Shame, as they say in 'Up.'

He's doing better today.  He's more playful, although we are supposed to keep him from jumping up, which he likes to do.


He's a very sweet little puppy.  Hopefully neutering him will make him a bit calmer, though.  That'd be nice.  :)
