Widget’s prosthetic eye was not looking good again … she was squinting and the eye seemed red and inflamed once more … so Alayne drove her to Helena this afternoon to let our vet, Dr. Brenda Culver, check her out.  Well, we could have called today’s 140-mile round-trip run the "Hypochondriac Express," because Brenda assured us Widget’s eye is actually still fine.  She’s pleased with how it’s healing and the prognosis remains good.

Rather than worry ourselves sick, we probably should have taken our cue from Widget herself.  Here’s a photo of Widget snoozing away just before we rousted her from her slumber for the road trip today. 

As a result of today’s evaluation, though, Widget will need to wear the cone on her head for at least another week.  Bummer!  Tomorrow was supposed to be ‘Cone Independence Day,’ when the darned thing finally came off.

    Great photo of “sleeping beauty”! Glad to hear the eye is healing nicely. How much longer does she have to wear the lampshade?!

    Widget probably thinks of the road trip as “much to do about nothing,” but what the heck, she gets chauffered around, and it’s always good to get out and about. Bless her. (and all of you)

    I love these pics of Widget – what a sweet girl! We humans can learn a great deal about living – and relaxing! – from our pet pooches.

    I’m glad Widget’s eye is healing properly. One can never be to hyper over medical issues, so it’s good that you brought her to the vet’s; now you can sleep without worrying about her eye. Of course, if you have sleeping problems, take it from Widgee and snooze with your favorite blanket…ahh, life is good!
    I love the photo!
