puppy surgery

I have spent a lot of time in the house this weekend, because our puppy, Ellie, got spayed on Friday and I have been a really good den mother and have tried to subdue the eight month old pup so she can heal. Do you know what it is like to try and keep a Jack Russell calm while wearing a cone around its neck? I think I would rather rip out my own toenails. It has been enough to make me crazy, but look how pitiful she is...
