Archie got through his alteration procedure very well according to the veterinarian. Clearly, he has another opinion and is feeling rather pathetic. As I write this, he's only been home for a half an hour. He promptly went to his squishy dog bed and is now asleep. He is taking pain medication and had a bit of water, but seems down for the count.
With no doggie responsibilities yesterday I had plenty of time to sew. I made three Blockheads blocks in the 6-inch size. The top two blocks are actual Blockheads patterns, but the lower one is one I found on the internet. The block on the top left is Block 12 designed by Heather Briggs. The block on the top right is Block 13 designed by Debbie Maddy.
The lower block is part of Jessica Dayon's latest sew-along, Scrappy Sampler Block 41.
The worst part of Archie's surgery is him having to wear that uncomfortable cone collar. Reader Carolyn suggested an inflatable collar her daughter got when her dog was spayed. I immediately ordered one and think it's going to be a lot better than the clunky plastic one.
Keeping things short here today, gotta go check on Archie.

Good morning, Nicole-
Well, here’s hoping that Archie is up on all fours and ready to take nourishment! He looks so sad in his pictures, but today is a new day and hopefully he can rise to the occasion. If not, there’s nothing wrong with taking it easy on day 2. In the meantime, your blocks are great I’m glad you had something to occupy your mind as you waited for Archie’s surgery to be done finished. Have a great day!

I love how you’re using those fabrics! It’s sure easy to see how Archie is feeling; maybe he’ll start feeling better after a nap.

Poor little guy! He doesn’t know what hit him! The inflatable collar looks more tolerable. Hope it arrives soon! I like those blocks– especially the pinwheel one!

we all need a squishy bed. try taking off the collar when he is with you. he may ignore the incision. mine did.
I really love that 3rd block pattern you found. I was thinking about buying her book at fat quarter shop.
hope archie has a better day today.

Poor little Archie! Give him some extra cuddles from all his cyber aunties…. he is so pathetic looking but still cute. Like the others have said, hopefully the new collar will be more comfortable.

Beautiful blocks!
I hope Archie is feeling well today. We used the inflatable collar too. Much more comfortable and a soft place to lay your head when tired.
