For several days leading up to Gracie's I just spent as much time doing the things she loved, lots of walks, extra treats, cuddles and playtime. The night before we played her favorite game, Hunt Ducky, for hours.
Then the first couple of days afterwards she really only wanted to cuddle and sleep. So that's what we did. I put everything on the back burner and just cuddled with her. But after the second day, she was back to normal and full steam ahead! It was challenging to keep her quite, she certainly didn't feel much pain thru it all.
She got her stitches out yesterday and tonight I'm hooking up the lawn sprinkler for her to run around in.
Her new favorite thing to do. Then an extra long walkies and then it's bath time 'cause she's extra specially skanky!
I would absolutely try the onesies before the cone. They really seem to hate the cone.
Of course, it could be he'll be like Gracie and not really bother the stitches and you won't have to do anything special
