The hematoma in Evan's right ear is still very big and in the healing process. We've shared multiple photos of it over the past couple of weeks, so today we're going to share a photo of Evan that was snapped before the hematoma showed up.
As long as he gets his painkiller and anti-inflammatory meds, Evan will sleep almost that soundly these days. Naptime does involve a few more attempts at getting comfortable for poor Evan right now, what with a giant, heavy ear in the way, but he will eventually settle in. He tends to get most comfortable when he can cozy up with me on the couch or in bed, which I'm not complaining about one bit. Even so, I'm just as eager as Evan for his ear to heal.
Happy Monday, friends!

Tip of the Day
Today, our Spay/Neuter Awareness Month tip is all about behavior. Yesterday we gave some examples of how spaying and neutering can benefit a cat or dog's health, and the same can be said for their behavior. For example, a cat or dog who is not spayed or neutered will often be more inclined to escape outside, such as to run off and find a hot date. Nobody likes the scare of a loose or lost furbaby, and especially not if they come back with news of a surprise pregnancy. So, to reduce any hormonally-induced escapes, of course have your furbabies spayed or neutered. This is not the only behavior affected by hormones and spaying and neutering, though. Cats and dogs who are not spayed or neutered are also often more likely to display aggression, also often due to their hormones. In addition, there is the chance that they will spray or mark their territory, as well as the chance that they will be more vocal and might yowl, such as at windows or doors, especially if they are in estrus and therefore instinctively calling for a mate. These and other potential behavioral concerns can often be reduced or eliminated altogether if a cat or dog is spayed or neutered. So, in case you didn't already have enough good reasons, please spay and neuter your cats and dogs.

A good nap makes everything feel better, doesn't it, Evan?
Poor little guy. I hope he can get some relief soon.
Poor Evan. He is such a trooper. Nice drawing and great tips. XO
We send Evan purrayers and POTP that his healing continues !
Hang in there, Evan, everything heals up sooner or later.
I especially like your doodle today.
