Tasha Tuesday

As promised, here are a couple of photos of Tasha wearing her "cone of shame." It's called une collerette vétérinaire in French, but they also know the name cône de la honte (cone of shame) from animated Pixar movies. This one is made of clear plastic, so she can see through it.

Tasha models her cone, which is attached to her collar, on day one. Not happy at all.

On the first day, Tasha was not a happy camper. She did not like the cone much and looked rather depressed about having to wear it. After the second day, however, she's just as normal as can be. She even sits up willingly when we put it on her. We do take it off for meal time and walking. On Monday she actually climbed the stairs with it on for the first time.

Now the cone doesn't bother her. I think she can pick up HBO on that thing.

She still has the urge to lick her stitches and staples, so the cone will stay on until either she stops doing that or until September 7, the day her stitches and staples are scheduled to be removed.

  1. She's so good. Maybe she'll even miss the cone when it's gone (well, maybe not).

  2. To her it must feel like she's been put in the stocks, the poor, poor thing.

  3. It needs some bedazzling and maybe some bells :-)

  4. Her cone is actually on the small side because she's small, so maybe she doesn't crash into as many things as my dog did. And, of course, on Tasha the cone looks good. :)

  5. Funny how the cone isolates the tan coloring on face. I didn't realize until these photos that she is basically black and white with only a little tan for contrast on her face. She is lovely and rather Elizabethan looking in the cone.

  6. She doesn't seem too bothered by it, and it's quite a small, neat cone with the rim covered in fabric. Our Lab had a huge cone,(or Elizabethan Collar as they called it in the UK) with no covering on the rim - and boy, did he do some damage with it !

  7. That second photo is too cute! You can almost hear her thinking: "Wishing I was out there. In MY vineyard." ;)

  8. If you had an old Victrola, I would love to see a photo of her going cone to cone with it.

  9. courage, tasha. I'm fixed too, but I never had to wear a cone of shame, nor did I have any inclination to remove my staples with my teeth.
