[nagdu] Ben and the cone

[Cindy Ray]

Oh, I can imagine he might be. Fisher is now quietly trying to avoid the GL, though once it is on him, he is very stoic about it. He should have thought of that before the diving under tables stuff.

>>> We brought Ben home last night from the vet, and he's fine, except he has to wear the Elizabethan collar, the big cone around his head.  I think it's bumming him out.  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!
>>> I don't think I can get his harness on over the cone either, though I'll give it a try.  So, even though he seems chipper and ready to go, he may have a week off.
