[nagdu] Ben and the cone

[Cindy Ray]

Oh, poor puppy. Are those things hard to take off? Could you take it off, put the harness on, and then put the cone back on?

When it bangs on something, he tends to stop and think he's stuck.  I don't know if being a guide dog is making it worse.  Maybe he thinks banging things is a problem, because it's a problem when he bangs me into something.  The poor dear is having some trouble relieving, because he can't get in a good sniff without the cone banging on the ground or the bushes. And it seems to catch when he's going up and down steps, and our house has plenty of steps. What he really needs is goggles, like Snoopy!
