After our internal medicine specialist in Missoula, Dr. Dave Bostwick, removed some growths from blind Goldie's leg a couple of weeks ago, she pretty much left the surgery sites alone. But then she decided it was time to rip off the bandages and begin removing the sutures herself, so we had to come up with a fool-proof way to keep her from chewing on her leg. The answer was a soft foam neck ring that someone donated to us quite a while ago. For some reason, it came in camouflage colors. Now, it's not apparent to me why anyone would want — need? — one of these in camouflage. On the other hand, have you seen all the items available in camouflage colors in a Cabela's catalog? It makes you realize there must be some people who think even the Sistine Chapel ceiling would have looked better with a few touches of camouflage.
In Goldie's case, she's just glad we didn't take her duck hunting wearing this thing. She says, "Oh, jeez, I can hear the dumb jokes already: Duck blind doesn't mean 'place where you hide while waiting to shoot ducks.' No, it means, 'too blind to see ducks.' Sheesh."
