She hated it, kept accidentally running into things, could not get in or out the pet door, couldn’t eat or drink without help, and it was very uncomfortable. So she figured out how to get it off by angling it into the pet door opening and snapping it. Yep. Don’t ever let anyone tell you Bassets are stupid. So I bought one of the squishy, soft collars and it worked great. Well, great according to me, not according to Holly. She couldn’t lick whatever it was she wasn’t supposed to lick, she couldn’t get it off, she could eat and drink, and since she was also able to go in and out the pet door, we took no pity and kept it on her the whole darn week. We still have the old cone of shame, but will not bother using it again, the soft collar works so much better. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Anita Woodrum<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><a href="mailto:awoodrum@clear.net">awoodrum@clear.net</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
