Alayne got this shot yesterday of me taking out the sutures from Samantha's surgery site. As I mentioned on her homecoming day blog post, the growth our vets removed did turn out to be benign, so we dodged a bullet on that one. We're not always that lucky, so we were very relieved. Although Sam was a wee bit nervous about me poking around with the scissors, they're actually a special veterinary type designed for suture removal — so it's even less likely she'd get jabbed with an inadvertent move on my part!
The tub in the background is for bathing dogs; you don't actually soak them in it like a regular bathtub, but use a shower-type hose spray to get them wet and rinse them off. The water drains out through a hose in the base.
Samantha was just glad she was only having sutures removed and not getting a bath as well!
