Here's a little dose of Suki cuteness. She had her surgery yesterday (yea, that one... she's never gonna be a mother. tear!). I spent last night snuggling her and it's the saddest thing to see her not being her normal, extremely playful self. I'm sure she'll be better in a few days, but if nobody's looking send her a little kiss ok?
In other news... It's COLD. I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods, but here in Missouri it's insanely cold plus we live in a 100 year old house and work in a 100 year old building. haha! Here are our cures for the common coldies... Hot tea 24/7, heated blankets are heaven, tights are a daily must, boots and socks, blankets and quilts and of course... snuggling puppies. XO, elsie
Our pup just had the same surgery two weeks ago Thursday. She was almost herself by Friday and was at full perkiness by Saturday. Hopefully Suki's recovery will be equally as quick! :)

My poor little dog kept biting at her stitches so they made her wear one of those cones around her neck. It was really pathetic and sad, but completely adorable at the same time.

Awww, I hated when my dog, Lux, got "that" surgery, but it's way better for them. And she still looks adorable.

Here in Texas it's been 70+ all week. A strange way to begin winter!

Sending get well wishes to Suki! Seeing your fur babies not feeling well and there being nothing you can do for them is the worst.
I had a twinge of guilt when I took my Chihuahua in for the dreaded surgery but my vet actually said that getting it done early will prevent certain cancers AND female dogs can have a huge personality change after birthing pups.

Aww...poor little Suki. My puggle Oliver sends his (also neutered) love to her! She'll be up and at 'em in a couple days, but I know how sad it is to see your baby mope around :( We also live in an ancient house, which I do love, but the draftiness gets pretty unbearable when it's cold. All the better for snuggling, coffee and quilts though, indeed!

I hate to say it, but snuggling them tight when they aren't 100% is so nice. They need you so much!

Such a wee cutie! I hope she's feeling better soon! xoxo

Aw, bless her, kisses to Suki.
It's ffffreeezing in England!. My mother in law to be hasn't even been able to go to the loo in her house, because the loo pipes were frozen solid!
Stay warm and have a lovely Christmas. :)

My little Egg Roll was the same way right after surgery. But she was up and running the next day. Used her cone to scoop up dirt :-P

Aww Suki is so cute! Yup, pretty cold here – lots of snow and ice which means lots of tights under jeans, long socks over jeans and socks over those socks – yup a whole lot of layering!!
Merry Christmas xx
