Bless Your Heart

So my dog Nelson still has to wear this cone because he won’t stop licking his arm. It creates a sore that won’t heal. He’s been to the vet and they said he’s just bored and some dogs just do that. We’ve tried everything. Sprays, salves, etc. He’s got so many toys it’s like a minefield in my house. You can’t walk through a room without stepping on one. So the only thing we can get that works is the cone. It’s annoying because it bangs into the backs of my legs when he follows me around & it slams into you when he jumps into your lap. He’s so sweet though and we’ve tried to take the cone off, but he goes right back to the licking.

This morning I call him in from his morning romp and the cone is covered in mud & leaves & ick. So there I am in the shower with a cone. It’s too big to wash in the sink and I was trying to get ready for work. Then I’m running all nudie patootie through the house trying to get the clean cone back on my dog’s neck. My life should just be a TV show. I wonder who would play me?
