Just thinking back to one my funniest memories of Minnie. When we had her in for surgery to remove a very large growth on her neck she had a very large scar and lots of stitches. For anyone who has had stitches, they itch like crazy! Our vet made a very thick and sturdy shawl taped to her to make sure those stitches never came out, and she looked so funny in it. Like Little Nun Minnie. I wish I would have taken pics now; it was adorable. For about a week until the stitches could come out I'd have to watch her 24/7 with a hawk eye, because she would constantly try to walk with her head rubbing along the side of the couch to scratch her neck. My vet did a great job ensuring it was a really sturdy shawl though, so we got through that week without any problems.
