Good news and bad news

Good news. The cutesie lil Christmas jammies are off. They only kept me from lickin on the spot on my side, not the spot on my leg.

Bad news. Cone of Shame. This is so toadally 'barrassin. I am the first. The first Ever of Any pets Mommy has Ever had in her entire, super long life that has had to wear the stinkin COS.

I can barely move. No way can I lick the spots now. I am like a furry statue with a stoopid "Comfy Collar". Comfy my asp.

Well, I did manage to jump onto Sissor's bed while Mommy takes this dictation for me.

Oh yeah, and be sure to notice the reflective tape all round the collar. So's WHEN I RUN AWAY tonight, the folks will be able to see me in the car head lights.

My life is over. Kaput. The joy is gone.
Plus my beautiful stick-up ears are smooshed.

Oh nooooo! Your gorgeous sticky up ears are sqoooooshed! Hope the dreaded reflective cone thingy does its job and gets you better soon!

Just a thought, have you thought about renting yourself out to builders an' stuff (once you feel better of course)? That reflective cone might command a lot of spondoolics for the Crimbo! I can arrange for the building site insurance if you want....

HD picks Zoe up off the floor, bats his LONG EYELASHES and says, I think you might be right! Hey Zoe, you could lead Santa's sleigh with your COS. HD runs as fast as he can out the door.............singing Zoe the glow in the dark schnauzie!

I had to wear a plastic cone of shame dis fall. It was no fun - I couldn't even sniff the ground!

oh noes...I don't like that cone on you. I hope that you don't have to wear it too long.

Did yer momma get that COS at the feed store? Looks big nuff to fit at least a pony!!! Its a wonder you can pick yer cute little head up off the floor!!

Spondoolics is the money your peoples use to buy you treats and Meatz and toys an' stuff, and Crimbo is Christmas! So Zoe can be a lady of independent means and have plenty of money for the Crimbo, sorry, Christmas! BOL!

December 5th 2012 at 4:41 am

Thanks HD so much. Next time I need help or consolin' I go sumwheres else.
At least Petey, Fin and Whit feel my pain.
Sophie - Mommy got one COS and it was too small. Went back and this one was the next size up. It's ridiculous huh?
Thanks for clearin up the spondoolics and Crimbo, Cleo!
Those are good things!
Barked by: Zoe (Dogster Member)

December 5th 2012 at 4:43 am

Oh and Mommy told me my spot removal took up too much spondoolics so the cone is my Crimbo present. :-/

So sorry for your situation. The "COS" can't be comfortable and certainly draws attention to itself. Reflective tape so it glows in the dark, BOL,BOL. Sorry can't help it. Can you sleep with that glowing all around your like a disfigured, displaced halo?
Barked by: Zoe (Dogster Member)

December 5th 2012 at 5:13 am

Thanks for unnerstandin Dunky. I was able to sleep purdy good.
I like that "disfigured, displaced halo". Bol!

Zoe, the worst part of the Cone are the random thoughts and static that it causes a dog to pick up. Are you really planning to run away? Or did your cone of shame pick up an alien signal telling you to do that? Don't make any rash decisions, unless you have filtering software.
Barked by: Zoe (Dogster Member)

December 5th 2012 at 7:16 am

Pennie, I dunno what is goin on. I mostly jus' bump into stuff so it's best to park my lil carcass in a doggie bed, so's peeopoles can see how pafetic I am.
Don't worry, I won't run away. I can't even squat to tinkle.

I say TAKE THE CONE OFF, wiggle back into your pretty jammies and have momma go to the drug store and get one pair of baby socks and one roll of that self clinging bandage that the humans use after they give blood. Have your momma cut the toe of the socks off and put one sock over the area that you can still lick and then wrap the whole thing with the self clinging tape. You will be much more comfortable this way instead of wearing that nasty cone.
Barked by: Zoe (Dogster Member)

December 5th 2012 at 11:57 am

Coco Rose! Best idea evfur!
Mommy says I am stuck with the cone unless I pay her back the moneys it cost.
I am gonna talk to Daddy 'bout your idea. He's a pushover.
Barked by: Fizzy (Dogster Member)

December 5th 2012 at 3:14 pm

Oh Zoe...I'm sorry...at least it's the soft one and not the big plastic one. I got stuck on the dining room table leg a gazillion times with that one...
Barked by: Cleo (Dogster Member)

December 5th 2012 at 5:59 pm

Ah poor Zoe! That cone can NOT be your Crimbo pressie! I was just wondering if you might consider putting that cone to better use - you can maybe rent yourself out at one of those Crimbo cribs as a little angel or sumfin with that lil' shiny cone masqueading as a halo? Your Momma will need to pay nufin, you can make your own Crimbo income?

Mommy says that something that might work is baby sleepers. She used to buy some cheap baby sleepers to keep her schnauzers from licking on surgery spots. ( of course they have to come off when you go outside for potty) I guess you would have to decide what is more embarrassing - baby sleepers or the Cone of Shame. I do feel sorry for you but remember it won't be forever

Gosh Fizz, you were a prisoner in your own home! House arrest!

Cleo, I'm not allowed outta My yard. Maybe I could rig up a one animal show and peepoles would give me tons of spondoolics then I could have a Good Crimbo!
It's fun learnin a new language!


Good idea Jelly. Right now I would fur sure take baby sleepers over the stinkin cone.
Barked by: Cleo (Dogster Member)

What a great idea Zoe! Bet lots of peoples and their doggies would pay good spondoolics to see you in your little red jammies and cool halo! BOL!
