We knew we could finally take off Ellie's cone on Wednesday. Yesterday just happened to also be National Dog Day. You are supposed to do something extra nice for your dog on this day, and this definitely fit the bill.
After Ellie's surgery, the vet told us to make sure Ellie didn't run or jump in order to preserve the staples in her belly. We warned Charlotte to play easy with her, but how were we supposed to keep a puppy from being a puppy and a girl from being a girl? We did our best to keep them both calm around each other, but it wasn't easy.
Removing the cone was a relief for everyone.
FYI: I hadn't heard the phrase "cone of shame" before Daphne and I watched the movie Up! in 2009, but it is still popular. When we took Ellie on walks through our neighborhood, I think everyone that waved from their lawns or driveways, or stoped to talk to us, made a reference to the "cone of shame."
