Ah, the cone of shame. Immortalized by Dug, that awesome dog in Up. Speaking of, how awesome was Up in general? So much fun, and so many quotable lines in that movie. (One of my faves? “My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you.” Very dog-appropriate.) Anyway, it seems like someone I know mentions the cone of shame at least once a week. Although Bella’s never had to wear one, the mere mention makes me smile. For that reason, it’s the theme of today’s No Frown Friday. Here we go…
- As always on Friday, I bring you punny pet names. Given this post’s medical undertone, this week’s names are doctor-inspired: Dr. Cliff Pupstable, Dr. Chewingsbone (I presume), and Doogie Howler. You should be proud… I didn’t go for the more obvious Doggie Howser joke. Oh wait, just did…
- Looking to spice up your decor? You can even decorate with the cone of shame. Check out this awesome dog bowl from me me me. (Thanks to under the blanket for the link!) Perhaps you’d prefer this cone of shame nightlight. Want something a little more cozy? How about these cone of shame pillows?
- You can even wear your own cone of shame – in t-shirt form. Check out this cute shirt featured on PetSugar.
The pup in the video below battles his cone of shame, then battles a water bottle. The result is magic.
(Seriously… how could that not make you smile? If that’s not enough cuteness for you, go check out another fun cone of shame video over on phetched.)
Because this post was inspired by Dug, I’ll leave you with a joke from the movie: “Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, ‘I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead.’ Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.”
Tell it to your dog – I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.
