Sydney, our one and a half year old Boston terrier, has had a rough week. On Sunday she cut her leg open in a freak accident and had to get stitches. Since then, it has been tons antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and pain meds–most of which she has been coaxed into taking thanks to a hell of a lot of cheddar cheese.
But by far the worst indignity is having to wear the “Elizabethan collar,” not exactly fun for a rambunctious dog. Still, can you see the resemblance?

Did you see the animated movie “UP”? The other dogs call it the “cone of shame.”

Finally, something that can bring new atheists & accommodationists together – agreeing that she is one cute little dog and wishing her a swift recovery!

Actually, Sydney is an ardent atheist and would take quite offense to being some sort of peace-broker between the new atheists and accommodationists. She currently has a book in press that will take this issue the another level. Although she does agree that she is very cute.

As a fellow Boston owner I sympathize. Here’s hoping she will be up and doing the “Boston 500″ again soon.

The cone of shame sucks. My boston had to have double knee surgery (luxating patella) just before her first birthday. For weeks, she wasn’t allowed to jump or run or really do anything. It was difficult to watch, but she made it through and you’d never know she had issues.
Feel better soon, little Sydney!
