Hide-A-Cone

Posted on January 14, 2010 at 9:08 AM

In a previous blog entry, we told you about the many uses for a cone (e-collar).  Now, this assumes that you actually enjoy wearing one.  What sane dog does?!   Don't accept the cone,  HIDE IT.  We will show you how.


The first rule of thumb is, do not be obvious.  See here?  Oven = obvious.



Dishwasher = obvious.



Being obvious fools no one.  You must get creative.  For example, the RAISED FEEDER:



Approach the feeder in a calm, cool manner, and eat normally.  No one will be the wiser.



END TABLE.  This one is a bit tricky, but if you're smart, it will work beautifully.  The key is to work your design seemlessly into the decor, like this:



Knickknacks on the table are that extra touch that say, "I'm at expert at this." 


POWDER ROOM WASTEBASKET.  Replace the trash can in the powder room with an elegant cone-can.



For an authentic look, add used tissues. (Note:  do not eat these.)



You may admire your handiwork for a few seconds, but do not dally.  This would seem suspicious.




LAMPSHADE.  A no-brainer here, as a cone looks like a lampshade anyway.



And the best place to hide your cone?  ON YOUR BROTHER WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU

Also, I am completely amazed that you have a very fragile looking vase in that last picture and it is still sitting on the table! How did you do that? :)

Oh, I bet Augie is SO glad to get rid of that collar. Augie and Ti are so lucky to have a mom that loves to play. What fun. Glad Augie is feeling better. :)

Great just great!!!! Each idea is better than the last one..Ti looks absolutely sheepish in the last picture. I can just imagine what was going through his mind, thinking it was his turn to wear that collar...

You guys are hilarious! I love the look on Augie and Ti's faces as they study it in the oven, and as a trash can.

Another excellent, educational piece about life with The Cone! These are all great ideas. The wastebasket idea was a natural for Augie, given his fondness for paper products. He did a great job with those used tissues! It's great to see him looking so fit, and of course Ti is always the puppy!
