Return of Conehead

By zuzu on 6.13.2006

Oh, there was a short reprieve from the coneheadedness. The drain came out, the crust was washed off, the collar was off.

But then, the scratching.

So my little Conehead is back.

    My parents once rescued an old dog named Jasmine who was completely deaf and very rarely made noise. She was this sweet, silent darling.

    Once, she got a grass seed embedded in her belly, and chewed at it until it was all sore and infected and had to be seen by the vet. Said vet prescribed Conehead to stop her from chewing it while it healed.

    Unfortunately, putting a cone around the neck of deaf Jasmine did mean that her entire perception of the world became one small circle of vision and, of course, no sound.

    We could tell she wasn’t happy about it because she kept creeping up behind people and gently placing the cone against our legs. It was the most pitiful thing i’ve ever seen. :)

    Here endeth the random anecdote. Hope your pooch graduates from conehead status soon.

    My Rott had to wear one of those for two weeks. He was miserable but it’s funny to watch when u take it off. They don’t know what to think.

    Our cat Max has cysts on his neck that demanded extensive cone time. Make sure you wait a few days beyond healing– we’d release when they were healed, and he’d turn around and scratch them back open.

    I have a question (Men Need Women. Where Are They?) for all the feminists in the world. Care to answer? BTW, very neat site.

    I found some in my crawlspace after the last hard rain. And I get emails from very friendly young women all the time, even though I’ve never met them! Have you tried leaving your home? I hear that’s a good way to find women.

    The whole point of feminism is that whatever dearth of women exists, it’s the problem of the needy men in question. Women have their own romantic desires to see to.

    Maybe we should just set up that dating service after all.

    But we’re feminists. Where would we get men?

    Silly. We make them out of women.

    Silly. We make them out of women.

    But think of the overhead! I’m not sure if this is a viable business model.

    What if we recruited impressionable young men–say, college students in women’s studies classes–by telling them that being feminist would get them laid? Then we could brainwash them.

    Come to think of it, we don’t have to provide any men. Just women. It’s the Nice Guys who are looking for dates that will come to us.

    If you let out the secret of how hot feminist women are you’ll be something-or-other deep in men before you know it.
