Woos on Wednesday

The Trials and Tribulations of Phantom


First it was this thing.


Then last week they tried something new to stop me from scratching my face.



Think it worked? Not really, I am a sibe, and I can figure things out very quickly. There was no way that sock was staying on my foot no matter how much tape she tried to use.

But as you can see, my face is healing. After I roughed it up a few more times (well, OK, a lot more times), I finally decided the pain wasn't worth it, so I stopped.


Here's my better side.



And the somewhat better side.




Not so bad this way.




One of the Pack



Two of the Pack.




And you guessed it, Three of the Pack.




And so you might be wondering, why so somber?



I have a new ouchie:( And that meant another trip to the vet. Somehow I managed to cut myself without anyone seeing it. By the time Mom found it over the weekend, she was convinced it was a nasty hot spot. It was really ugly so I will spare you the gory pics; this one is the good one with things really starting to heal. The vet said it is not a hot spot, but it looks like I snagged myself on something sharp and it got infected. Now they have shaved me in a new spot, AND I had to get two injections, AND now I have to deal with the Momster ramming pills down my throat for two weeks. I know, it would be a lot easier to cooperate, but that's just not me. At least they aren't making me be a conehead again (so far).

So I don't have any smiles for you today and Mom isn't very smiley either. But I do have a few other smilers around here to perk this post up a bit. Enjoy.


Some of you know why TD has a big smile on his face.



What? What did I do? Just doing what comes naturally.




Is that my dinner you have there?




Just keeping an eye (and a couple of paws) on my gardening.




Ha - how is this one for some happy faces - the twins do try hard to cheer up the Momster.

  1. The twins are super cute as are all of those furry smiling faces. Despite your medicine regimen and ouchie, I think you're still very handsome and that's something to smile about, right??

    Hugs to your mom!

  7. Oh man, it just isn't your month, is it? Try not to run into sharp things! That gave me the chills!

    Good on you for not scratching your other owie - it's worth it to have the cone off, huh?

    Get better soon!

  9. Oh, you Sibes are driving us humans crazy. Couldn't you cooperate just a little when it's for your own good? We had a run to the vet this morning for Mr Tsar's infected nose. It's not going to stop him from poking it where it doesn't belong.

    Phantom, you need to eat more. Come snack on potato skins with my girls.

  26. Oh Phantom. Muzzer says you seem to be even more injury prone than I am. We always have a good relation with our vets...people who leave lots of green monies with them are welcomed, and told to come back often.

    We hope you heal up quickly. And we do thank you for the smiley faces..we came to visit you right after we read that Petey's cat-bro Mica had crossed the bridge, and muzzer needed a few flickers of a smile.

    kisses on the owies from Teka and best of luck with the pill stuff from Gussie.

    pee ess...I am a pill pro...but I do like a bit of peanut or cashew butter. Oldest trick in the book, and muzzer falls for it every time!

  31. Phantom, you have as many shaved spots as Quinn does! Glad that the new infection isn't hot...and that your face is finally on the mend. Don't change a thing about your stubborn unique self...it is what we love about you!

    Ciara, Quinn wants to share his first ever just for him award with you. He says you will understand how important firsts are. When you get the chance, please visit our blog.

    Thunder, thanks for your happy balanced nature. You make momma smile.

  32. Oh poor Phantom, you really are in the wars aren't you? I hope you feel better soon.

  33. I'm smiling after seeing those smiles at the end! Phantom, I think you like to just keep your Mom on her toes, but I think you need to find a better way to do it! One that's less painful and lets your mom keep more treat money around for you.

  36. Mom saw your comment and is sorry momster is in a funk but totally understands. For her Fall is kind of a bittersweet happy/sad time.

    Anyway we DID see yesterday's comment but mom is MAKING me share the good news about Quinn's award with all the friends he wants to share with...something about it being good for me to be gracious and humble and let my brother shine...go figure!

  39. Oh Phantom! You are just having a terrible time with all your owies! That looks terrible! Thank goodness your mom finally found it. I hope she figures out what did it so it doesn't happen to anyone else! Please heal fast! I hope you are getting extra treats!

  44. Oh dear. This really needs to stop, wouldn't you say? How about you stop hurting yourself and turn that frown upside down? Oh, I know you're not really frowning, but I don't know if "somber look" rhymes with anything.

    lotsa healing licks, Lola

  63. We is so furry sorrys 'bout your boo-boo. Handsome dudes don't need to have bad boo-boos. Our momma would like to know how come your yard isn't full of holes that you digged. Scout digs lotsa' holes and he ain't no Sibe. So, we would like a bloggy post about Sibe holes to China or are you one of those Sibes who doesn't dig - yeah, right...

  64. Oh Phantom, so sorry you got hurt again. Feel better and heal quick! You are handsome with or without the cone, but no more injuries!

    The twins are beautiful!

  65. So many ups and downs for you. I was so happy to see Phantom with the pack early in the post. He looked happy! But then that terribly owie. At least he doesn't have to be a conehead. My fingers are crossed that he heals quickly.
