Poor Sam! He Has To Wear A Cone!

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

Visiting friends in Nantucket this week, and both of the family woofs ended up going to the vet yesterday. Now, they are brothers, and when Sam got to go first, Orly REALLY thought he was "missing" out on something....if he only knew....

Here is Sam sporting his new cone:

Sam The Cone Head

In this one, he reminded me of the RCA dog.....

Poor guy, he was missing his brother, Orly, who had now gone to the vet...the cone was supposed to help a hot spot on his tail heal, but we discovered, it wasn't really big enough to prevent him from getting to that spot.....

Carol- I can remember when our dogs had to wear those things.  They would bump into everything!

Good morning, Carol. The second one does look a lot like Nipper...

How does he get out their "doggie door" so they can run away from home?  I have to keep my dogs clipped SHORT during the summer months.

BLiz - Post a pic of your bunny! I want to see!

Kathy - he really hasn't just yet, but yesterday was only the first day...

Michael - Thanks for reminding me of his name!

Rene - Yes, good point! I had forgotten that some cones were not see-thru!

Wallace - Funny! His mom said they looked at the hot spot, found an ear infection, and something with one of his eyes - by the time the vet came back into the exam room the 3rd time, the dog was absolutely wedged in between the sink and the exam table, saying "NO MORE!"

Hi Carol - I've learned - the hard way - that big Labs and cones are a terrible mix. The property damage was awesome - overturned tables and chairs, broken lamps, gouges in the drywall, and a nicely shredded cone.

Sheila - I hope so soon too! It's so painful for him to have his tail wrapped!

Dick - I had a lab/dane/weimeraner mix, and he NEVER had a cone, to my exposure is limited, but it's pretty easy to figure out what is going to happen.

Chris: I know, and you know, but Sam , sadly, cannot read!

I will never forget a few days when my dog had to wear one of those cones.  He kept looking at me like he thought he was being punished.  He couldn't figure out WHY he had to wear it!

Chris - I know, I feel to bad for him and he's not even MY DOG!

Myrl - His Mom says it takes them like 10 days to get used to it, and then they forget all about it until the next time.....I know it's supposed to help, but it just looks kind of mean!
