Walter is wearing a Cone of Shame

Poor Walter. Our Sophie had to wear one for a month last year when she had Luxating Patella surgery on both knees. She was miserable, but the only way to keep her away from the stitches until everything healed.
Your not alone Walter, the struggle is real. 
I know that those things serve a purpose but they are horrible. Our Gypsy had to wear one at the beginning of this year and she was miserable. We started out with one of the old fashioned plastic cones and she was so pathetic. I ran around East Texas until I found one of the soft, inflatable type. She was still pathetic but at least it was a bit more comfortable. I hope that we don't have to do that again!!!! Hell, I was miserable watching her wear it!!!!
We have a hard plastic cone that we used for our Akitas. It is bigger than Walter. Walter had a soft inflatable donut type that she used when she got 'fixed' but it was borrowed. I found this soft cone at the pet store, she really doesn't seem to mind but I'm not sure she can eat or drink with it one so she gets time out for food/water.
I will second that. Our Sophie was thoroughly depressed while wearing it. Did not want to play, did not get all excited when she heard me grabbing the leash, nothing. That made it real hard as she needed the exercise as part of her recovery. The day it came off, it was a happy day for all of us. We had our old dog back.
