[Dailydrool] Conehead Noah

[Pam McQuade]

Noah's new mama wrote: "He runs into a door jam with the cone and stands 
there till I come rescue him...you might think he would back up, or turn a 
little, but no."

Our Alexis hated the cone she had to wear after ear surgery. At the time, we 
had very flat rugs, certainly no more than a half-inch high. She ran the 
cone into the rug and stood there, head hanging, as if she just couldn't go 
any further. If she'd raised her head a quarter of an inch, she would have 
been fine. I think they just like having the humans make a fuss over them 
when they are hurting. Another effective and manipulative basset technique.

We hope that Noah soon loses the cone. Otherwise he may learn to use it as a 
weapon and hit all the human shins. It doesn't take them long to figure that 
out!
