Spoke too Soon (!!!)

Cooper managed to pop a hole in the inflatable collar (ProCollar), which is no surprise, and the pet store cones (hard plastic) were a joke to put it kindly. They do not attach to anything, and snap together, which is comical when dealing with a real dog. I wish they had dogs like mine when testing things.

Short of placing him in his night time crate, with various ropes coming off his collar to hold him in place, and becoming a horror movie (sick humor not a reality, just a thought)…

I ended up back at the veterinarian’s office, another cone, and this time instead of tying it on I looped his actual collar through! The problem the first time was he pulled it off and than chewed it to death so we couldn’t put it back on him. And this time he is chewing the inside, which I’ll do a simple fix tonight. In the mean time he is on a sedative to help calm him down. THANK GOD

$226 to fix (with that $20 cone)

$38 for inflatable cone

$42 for another cone and sedatives

I think if we were keeping score the dog is winning… and I still have 5-12 days of fighting with him, just he’ll heal… so forgive me if I am at a point of literally crying!!!
