summer in the backyard, ages 13 months & 8
everyone says they'll be buddies one day but for now George mainly sees jude as a food source. jude has a habit near the end of meals of simply chucking pieces of food over the side and giggling hysterically each time.
so back to george's injury... look closely at his eyes in the closeup picture below.
regular cute dog
somehow on wednesday he put a gash below his right eye. the vet's best guess is perhaps he ran into a bush. the 45 minute wait at the vet was a challenge for the baby and his mommy. fortunately a little surgical glue made the cut close and it should heal normally, but poor george must wear a cone for 10 days.

this presents two challenges in the Miller house. first, we have to keep jude from grabbing the cone and shaking it around, as he has attempted. second, we were told we can remove the cone to let george eat. but he has gotten a few paws by his eye even as we watch him closely. it certainly adds another level of fun to breakfast and dinner around here.
ps We have not seen 'UP' the movie yet, but our neighbors tell us there are some great dogs-in-cones scenes. i think we'll have to try and figure out a way to check it out.
