We recently neutered our dog, Charlie. He was dropped off early in the morning by his dad at the vet and we picked him up late in the afternoon. Boy, was he glad to see us. He had a clear cone protector around his head and he was seriously freaked out by it. We decided not to leave it on overnight because the poor dog was whining like it was his last night on earth. Even Maya was like, "What happened to him and how come I didn't get a cone around my head?" She was very curious about the cone and once we took it off him, she took it and tried to put it over her head. See these two are best friends as you will see below. Anyway, Charlie is healing very well and has been very good not to lick his stitches. He knows that the dreaded cone will be back on if he does.
A (pizza crust) peace offering. Sorry dude...
