She added 'You've been brave, unselfish and very right - well done - don't worry, she's a super fit little dog, we'' look after her - promise'.
I'm glad its all over - she was microchipped, tows clipped and all her little 'meggies' (Whoops UK anachronism for teeth were perfect)
So I felt justified in the small risk after all the great help and support here. I've had some super dogs in my lifetime and loved all of them, from a boy up. However this little thing and I have been in love from the first day we set eyes on each other! She was a rescue/re-homed dog, aged 5 months and smothered in wood-chippings and tangles. But such a funny quizzical little look and I could feel her character 10 yards away. We've never looked back since.  |
If your wifes good on the sewing machine, a onsie is a great idea.
Tescos sells 3 for £7 and they are very good quailty. I've used them for Pippi while she's in season, cut the bottom half for knickers, and kept the top for a t-shirt. So after you've finished with the onsies, you can have some cute t-shirts, if needed.
Also perhaps if you need a cone, you wife could make a cloth one, they works well, but are so much more comfortable. There are pattens on the net.
So glad Crystal has you to comfort her. Hope she's herself soon.
