We think they’re good for our pups, protecting them from their own urges to lick or scratch. But plastic cones are far less fun – and let’s face it, confusing – for those pooches who have to don them after a visit to the vet.
The Cone
I am not entirely sure
what I did to warrant this cone
that is preventing me from scratching
my itchy stitches
But it is most surely
The most inopportune place
A human has stuck a cone
I am trying fiercely to look
cool
But I keep bonking my nose into walls
And getting snagged on corners
And although I am trying as hard as I can
To connect my tongue
With the world outside this cone
I am starting to wonder if my new
forever
Is just front-me in cone patiently missing
back-me which was a good part of me
to scratch
