A pretty new cast (purple!) and a more secure cone

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

Update is up! Thanks for asking. Her pretty purple splint/cast is showing some wear and tear. And she lost the little heart. ;(
But she's still her happy self, she hops a lot more with this splint, I think because it's a lot more substantial than the first one. It's like a little club leg, she's bonking me in the face with it whenever she tries to get next to me on the couch. She konked Cowboy in the face a couple times, too!
How about an update on Tess' toe, the cast, and the collar you were going to try?
Thank you for the well-wishes.
The purple wrap is a little less cute now after collecting a fair amount of dust and dirt (and some wear-and-tear already on the bottom) over the last 24 hours. But the heart is still cute.
I left her this morning with her cone firmly in place, so we'll see if it's still there by the time I get home.
I've only had Tess since March & this is the 2nd semi-major health issue we've gone through. A high-maintenance dog, I predict.
Aw, hope it is all over soon. That heart on the fancy purple cast is pretty stylish, indeed!
