Non-Conehead



Paco has graduated from Conehead to Non-Conehead, woohoo!

Yep, our little guy tends to be a compulsive licker/fusser so, heeding the advice of a good vet friend (thanks, Jenny!), we kept the cone on extra long to make it through the itchy-post-suture-recovery-stage. The result? A completely healed dog who has no reason to obsess over his incision site.

Yep, now he can point his mouth towards other things, like fun interactive toys filled with treats like this one:



For those of you familiar with this "indestructible" toy you'll notice Paco has already removed that annoying barrier of a rope (which most normal dogs use to carry the toy around with them). Oh well, who can fault him for taking creative shortcuts?

Hiro has one of these purple toys too. Although he isn't as smart as Paco to remove it, he has managed to remove the dog food treats from it within 15 minutes. He uses our wooden furniture to pound the treats out of the toy. One of these days, I need to film it.
