Conehead

Leave it to our dog Mal....I have never heard of this before but he broke the cartilage in his ear from shaking his head and therefore broke a blood vessel which had to be drained. The cause of the head shaking....an ear infection. I suppose that is the advantage to cropping a pit's ears. This drain contraption has to be in for 3 weeks! So in what started as an innocent car ride this afternoon, ended in a whiney cone head of a dog! Can't say I blame him for not being very happy about the whole thing. Now the funny part for those of us not wearing a cone is watching him try to navigate the house. We don't have a very big house with open space so it can be a bit challenging at times. And this cone is HUGE! He gets it stuck on the floor on the carpet and on just about anything in his path. At first it was like he just gave up and figured he would stand there until either we moved him or the object moved but he is getting the hang of it now. The "just a little bit funny" part of it is that Emma is terrified of the whole thing! If he so much as touches her with the cone you would think he bit her! So she is currently sitting behind me on the couch eating her chicken because he ran into her foot with the cone and she wouldn't quit crying until I rescued her. The next three weeks should prove interesting.....

I have some pictures but keep in mind that there is blood involved so it looks a little gross.....you have been warned! :)

See that poor me face? So sad!
