Nice day today! We spent all day out in the yard!
Not Miss Maple though ...

Yes, this works great! Missy sliced her pad open yesterday digging a hole
to someplace; not sure where. Turns out you can get that vet wrap stuff (or
something very similar) at a regular pharmacy. We got in a pack of 6 1in
rolls (each 2.3 yards unstreched) for $6.50. Ask for the "those sticky ace
bandages that don't need clips ..."

We had to use the "cone" on her for while, but there was little problem
when she tried to get into her crate with the cone on. Really freaked her
out. After a while, she stopped trying to get the bandage off; been most of
the day and she just leaves it be. Good Girl!
