Timken and The Comfy Cone

Timken has an owie that he just can't seem to leave alone. So we decided he needed to be coned as we have had a tough time keeping him from licking it. So off to the pet store we went. We bought something called a Comfy Cone and it has a sweet little picture of a doggie sleeping soundly while wearing it. Timken is a very under-socialized pup and anything new or novel can really mess with his personal comfort zone which is very narrow at this point. We were hoping this Comfort Cone would not cause him too much stress so that his "licky spot" could heel. Well let's see how comfy he was with the Comfy Cone.

This picture looks so sweet. So you just put this cone on the dog and then he will just fall asleep? Sounds like a good thing doesn't it!

Here is Tim's "licky spot". Pretty sure this is from when he had his neuter surgery a few weeks ago, he just does not want to leave it alone
I thought once the Comfy Cone was on I was supposed to have a sleeping doggie. Tim had other plans poor baby. He was not really a fan. He sat in this position for quite some time.



Tim did manage to get down out of the chair but he was so nervous wearing the cone. I couldn't stand it. He is so sensitive, so I took it off him. We will keep working on it.

Tim is much more comfy on the pillow with the plush blanket, this is his Comfy Spot. I keep telling him as long as he doesn't lick he doesn't have to wear the cone. What a love. We'll get that leg healed up, just need to keep working on it.
