Dog Wears the Cone of Shame

If you have seen the recently released, delightful, fun-loving movie “Up,” then you know about the Cone of Shame.  You will also know of it if you have had a dog spayed, neutered, or if for any reason you need to keep their head away from other parts of their body.  When donning the cone, dogs do seem to be embarrassed or at a minimum very aware of their limitations.

Here’s Fletcher wearing the Cone of Shame.  What makes it so funny is this is how I found him one morning.  He didn’t need to wear it and must have been testing it out.  He managed to put it on before realizing it won’t come off!  You can imagine how the other dogs and I laughed.  Perhaps it was his way of humbling himself or to make the real wearer of the cone feel better.
