On the subject of the Elizabethan Collar (Lampshade)

Posted on 23 March 2011, 1:14 pm, by crispin, under letters.

Dear Janit,

Please understand that this lampshade thing that Mr. Veterinarian gave me to put on you is for your own good and no amount of glaring or sulking will persuade me to remove it until the two weeks prescribed has passed. I can assure you that it is fastened quite securely and you will not be able to do away with it simply by walking slowly backwards. It may well be possible to kick it off with your back legs but rest assured the victory will be short lived as I shall replace it immediately.

It is now two days into your sentence so I think we can put a stop to this farce of crashing into every possible obstacle, making a fuss in the middle of the stairs and squawking at your dinner.

I hope I have made my position clear on the matter.

Love always

Crispin

P.S. Meals will be easier if you get the collar on the outside of the bowl rather than trying to use it as a spoon to get the biscuits out.

    Wow! Where have YOU been? Haven’t seen a post from you in AGES!!

    As for the collar? Hmmm…YOU try eating YOUR dinner with one of those darned things on YOUR head! You might be “backing up” and kicking it with your back legs too!!!!

    Love, Cody

    Oh Dear Janit…I am sure there is no pet out there that doesn’t sympathize with your plight…unfortunately as Crispin has stated this is a battle you will not win…so just hold your head up (so as not to bump into anything) and walk proud….

    Best

    Our greyhound Rosie had one of these, and whilst she hated it she also learnt to open doors with it, and has kept the skill after having the ‘cone of knowledge’ as we dubbed it removed.

    Thank you thank you! Our feline is currently a ‘conehead’ and now I have read her this letter she feels less of a reject and more of a member of a special club… wonderful blog.
