The biggest problem with these pet ordeals is being strong enough to leave on the cone of shame on for it's intended length of time. Actually, we eschewed the cone of shame and purchased the depression donut. It has the advantage of being soft and not hard edged, so when Maeve clips something with the edge it doesn't rattle here the way the cone of shame.
But still, the poor dog has this giant thing around her neck that makes her very uncomfortable. She spends the majority of the time glaring at me from with the depression donut. All I want to do is remove it. But then the Vet cycle would begin again after she had chewed through her side.
I do take it off her when we go on walks. But then I have to keep her on the leash the entire time. Maeve and I do not walk at the same pace. She spends a lot of her time sniffing at dog pee and dog poop. Eventually she does catch up only to start sniffing at new spots. With us both on the leash, I have to walk slower than normal and she has to walk faster than normal.
I'm taking off the cone tomorrow.
The moral of the story, don't have pets.
No that's not it. Don't let your pets injure themselves.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
