No pain, no gain?

Hello friends,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome from all of you doggies.
I have made new lovely friends: Maggie, Girl Girl Hamster, Sparky and of course, adorable Snowy and Crystal and still keep counting.
I'm happy. I know now it is my smile that makes my Mom loves to click click her camera on me. I bet your parents love to click click too. I'll hide that camera someday!






Last week, without warning, my mom took me to the Vet having that you-know-what procedure done. Vet found out that I had umbilical hernia ( what that means?) too so 1 shot kills 2 birds: embarrassing neuter ( now I know what that means!) and painful umbilical hernia repair. Here I am in pain but still forcing a smile after being discharged from the Vet. By the way, my newly adopted brother Chubs the Pug had his neuter done the same day too.






My velvet hair got shaved for IV and Lab works in such an ugly way that I thought it was a chicken leg!






I tried to take care of myself by licking the incisions then guess what? Mom took me back to the Vet to have that lamp shade stuffed on my neck! She explained to me that thing would protect my incisions from being infected! I was not convinced at all!
Even worse, my brothers made fun of me!






I've tried to remove that stupid lamp shade for days until now, while posting my story, that shade is still in the way! What can I do? Help! Free me please! Mom?





But I'm happy and optimistic! Look at the bright side, at least they didn't make me wear this!





Or this!
