An Unhappy Scottie

The first really cold weather of the season has arrived. I am not quite ready for it, but it is November and the cold and the frost had to come sometime.

Todd being true to his Scottish heritage doesn't mind the chillier weather. He is dealing with a sore ear the last couple of days.  He's on medications for it, but is still scratching at it.  I put an e-collar on him (or the "cone of shame!) to keep him from making it even more sore.
So, I doubt that he's noticed the cooler temperatures today because he wants nothing more than to get that annoying e-collar off.
But he's just daring any of the other dogs to make fun of him because he's wearing it!
I wonder if that's what Rhett was doing?

  2. Poor boy. It's bag enough having a sore ear...then having to wear the cone of shame...even if it has another name. We hope it heals quickly, so he can enjoy the cooler weather. Must say your flowers are looking sad, as well.

  3. Todd, would wearing a winter coat help, as then you would have a Huge collar as well to keep your neck warm? Never mind what is was there for in the first place.. Winter, we have left ours well behind, and as I watch the trees across the stream being felled, I think of the many happy people who will benefit, new furniture, mulch, and firewood from all the too small branches and logs.Keep warm up North.

  4. None of us are crazy about those darn cones either. Timber will be having the honor of wearing one soon as he will be "fixed" in early December. We hope Todd's ear gets better soon. That is a very good pic of Rhett having fun:)

  9. Romey has been having a terrible time with allergies...we just do not know to WHAT! Instead of the cone...our vet suggested a onesie. So....he is in puppy pajamas 24/7 so that he cannot reach the real itchy spots on his back and stomach. If only we could find out what the heck it is! Hope Todd is feeling better...it is awful to have a sore ear! Rhett is having FUN!! :)

  10. Poor Todd, I hope that ear soon heals. At least it looks as though it's only Rhett is making fun of Todd's cone !

  13. Smiling . . . poor Todd . . . sometimes we have to do what we have to do!
    Our little critters usually don’t know how to leave “owies” alone!
    (I do think Rhett saw an opportunity!)

  15. Sorry about your ear Todd and hope it is better very soon and you do not need the horrible collar thing any more. It must be even more annoying when the others are laughing at you! Take care - nose licks and love from Moth xx

  17. Sebastian loves rolling in the dirt and rubs dirt into his eyes and ears. It's a constant battle.
