Before you all think I've gone over the edge with the chubby dog issue, Cabana is not wearing Spanx or the Kymaro Body Shaper! The e-collar is an ordeal to get off and on, since it attaches to her flat collar--plus it makes Cabana go a bit bonkers, which is not desirable at this point. So this morning, I made her a soft lycra knit "belly band" to cover her incision, just for a short amount of time when I can't keep an eye on her. It's a simple tube of stretchy fabric with elastic on the top to help it stay in place. I was glad to be able to use materials I already had on hand, and it took less than 5 minutes to make.
Cabana doesn't seem to mind wearing it one bit. And it gave me peace of mind while I was in the shower this morning.
We went for a very early walk this morning, hoping to minimize the number of dog meetings, which would be too exciting for Cabana. The sky was all pink as the sun rose, and then voila, a big orange sun! Cabana wanted to run, or at least walk really fast--but she finally got the idea that we were going to keep a leisurely pace. I can tell that inside, she's saying, "Why so slow? I've got a need for speed!" But the only thing we want to be speedy for now is, hopefully, her recovery.
