to check Cora’s wound. He said the wound is healing nicely, which is good news. The bad news is, it will take weeks for the skin to grow back so she can get back to normal excercise. And poor Cora is already going nuts from lack of exercise. We practice tricks every night to get her a little bit tired. But she doesn’t play with toys, so I have to reward her with treats. And there’s just a limit to how many treats I can feed to a dog who gets very little exercise, she’ll gain too much weight.
We’re going to visit my parents soon, and she’ll be expecting her usual, lovely walks in the forest there, which will not happen. But at least my mother has made Cora’s all time favorite treat: homemade burgers made from only the very best ingredients. ;) She’s a very spoiled grand-dog!
The vet said she doesn’t really need to come back if the wound keeps healing, which is good news. Cora hates vets. The vet couldn’t stop smiling and laughing at Cora though, he found her totally adorable. She was hiding in a corner, trying to look like an almost invisible miniature poodle, rather than the proud, big King poodle she really is (which is what standard poodles are called in Norway). It’s impressive how small Cora can become when she wants to. ;) When asked though, she jumped up on the table voluntarily, and then stood there quietly with her head down, being patient at always, but making it very clear that the whole thing was totally unfair. Poor, cute Cora.
