Otter and the Lampshade

Sounds like the title of a children's book. Otter had an operation yesterday and has to wear a lampshade collar till his stitches have dissolved. It isn't dignified and he's not a happy dog as you can see. He's had quite a few incisions poor old mutt. A lovely afternoon but he's not allowed out for a walk for a few days so I busied myself retrieving decorations and planning to do some baking.
