Q: What’s worse than having emasculating surgery and then being forced to wear a cone?
A: Having emasculating surgery, being forced to wear a cone AND a doggie diaper!
We had Shiloh neutered on Wednesday. Apparently, post-surgery he was the perfect model of a canine patient—didn’t lick or bite at the incision and stayed perfectly quiet in the kennel at the vet’s. However, within seconds of being placed in his kennel in our car, he was going nuts. So on went the cone and we went home.
The next morning our pet proved to be not only terribly flexible but also quite tenacious. We needed something more than the cone. We needed… Dog underwear! Oh my goodness, PetSmart has items I’ve never even heard of. Now I know that we have options if Shiloh is ever incontinent (doggie wraps for the boys), but for the moment, girlie pants will do the trick.
Cone + dog diapers = highly amused family + one slightly crazed Coton.

We always called Jake’s cone the Lampshade. He has worn it often – he always runs into barbed wire fences when hunting. But he has never had to wear girlie pants. Thanks for sharing his humiliation!

HA.
Max can sympathize. Okay, not really about the cone or the diaper – just the emasculating surgery.
