Going back to Earl's original post, my dog Joker (RIP) had to wear the "cone of shame" for a couple weeks until a sore on his leg healed up. He was a big dog (Rottweiler mix) and the stupid cone would catch on furniture and door jambs when he walked around the house. He and I were both relieved when we were finally able to take it off. I enjoyed everybody's dog pics. Haven't got a new pup yet since Joker passed away last year.
