Really, 10 Days?

It was time to have the last of the farm animals fixed.  So yesterday, we picked up Zoey from the vet, praying that she handled the hood a little better than Willow.  Willow stood in the corner for hours, refusing to move with it on her head.  Even the vet techs made fun of her.  So when Zoey was sent home not wearing hers, I knew we were in trouble.  We slipped it on, she was none to pleased.  More frightening was the vet's instructions to keep the girls separated for the full 10 days until she has her stitches removed.  I don't care how big your house is....keeping the playmates apart for 10 days is going to be a challenge.  Willow is currently sulking just this side of the hallway gate, pining away for her friend.  It's only day one.
