The cone of shame


The kids think it is funny to watch the dog get a bath.  They are convinced that he should learn to suck it up since we make them take a bath nightly and he goes months between baths.


He seems to have some sort of a skin allergy and it doesn't matter what kind of soap we use he ends up with a rash on his one paw and then he licks it raw, so this year to speed up the heeling process we decided to put a cone on him.  He hates it of course the boys think it is funny.  He runs into walls gets stuck behind objects and can't go up the stairs unless someone holds the cone up just high enough so that it doesn't bounce off of the stair in front of him.  Who would've known it would have been such an ordeal.  He also refuses to eat unless we take it off of him.  But his foot looks pretty good today and probably by tomorrow he can quit wearing his cone.
