I don't know who's more anxious to get rid of the cone, Bodie or us! Holly and I are tired (and sore) from getting that thing jammed into our shins. And for Bodie, well let's just say if there was ever an example for the saying a bull in a china shop it's him. He's a fricken disaster with this thing on.

If it wasn't for the sutures on his dewclaws I would of already taken it off. But I don't want him yanking them out and opening up the incision. So come Friday he'll be liberated from this contraption followed by a much needed bath. Man does he stink!

Oh I guess that is another advantage to having the dewclaws done at birth...no sutures required.

I'm glad to know that he is ready to have this collar removed. I am proud of you for having lasted as long as you did. I think it is the owner that gets tired of it faster than the dog in most cases. lol

Poor baby Bodie looks so sad in that picture. I'm so glad he'll be able to lose the cone come Friday! Be sure and update us with a happy picture!

I've found they adjust pretty quickly to cones - as Donna said, probably a lot better than humans do. When my keeshond was spayed (in 1987), she chewed her stitches, so had to wear a cone - then she SCRATCHED them with her back feet - so the vet hobbled her (wrapping both legs in adhesive tape with just enough room between for her to walk, but not to scratch). She was one pathetic looking keeshond. I felt sooooo sorry for her. I had my share of bruised shins, too. Glad he's doing well.

lol he looks so sad, so glad my dog didnt have to wear a cone after being spayed. I would have been laughing these last 3 days lol.

there was a dog here that had to wear one for a while. it is still reffered to as that funnel-headed dog to this very day.

How's Bodie doing? I'm sure he's running around like nothing happened already

Ya he's back to his regular self. As soon as we got back from the vets he got washed twice! Then it was lots of pets and playing.
