Congrats! LOL, what will you come up with next? You never stop making me laugh with this type of stuff!

Well, the guy from the phone company was here this afternoon, and when I took the dogs out, guess what I saw in the back of his truck????
I tried to steal them, but he caught me, and wasn't too pleased. He promised me that they have a good home with him, so I let them go.

Emily it could just be me but I think "liberating" cones that already have good homes isn't the smartest way to go about getting one....now if you happen to see one lying in the middle of the street or on some lonely street corner that might be a different story.

hehehe cone theft

WHAT? Aren't there laws in PA about transporting poor innocent cones in the back of trucks ??

LOL! How cute!

**RubyMutt** · 04-04-2003, 08:54 AM

Ooohhh, I am so jealous! Winston is adorable!! I want one!

I had a friend once who tried to rescue a cone abandoned on the side of the road. He ended up getting a ticket! Something about stealing city property...

City Property?!?!

Those poor cones

Good for you for rescuing one!

**Kfamr** · 04-04-2003, 07:27 PM

Lol... I want one now.

Just for the record, I have owned a cone for years, before they became popular to own or raise. It lives in the garage with my bikes etc. It is mighty cold out there in the garage but my cone is used to the cold and seems to thrive on it. My cone is the larger, older model but it is still in good shape. It often watches out for the snow plow truck guy...and protects my garden from the plow. It is such a faithful cone. My cone is called "It".....

This photo is very unique for a couple of reasons...
(1) Not only are these cones working but they are (2) having a family reunion!

Notice maw 'n paw standing proud watch over the little ones? "Watch out! Break for our babies!" they proclaim.

Also, make note of their first cousins, the larger orange 'n white barrels. Such good babysitters!

Unfortunately, Aunt 'n Uncle Port-a-Potty couldn't make it.

Hey - I was browsing through some old pictures of mine, when I suddenly remembered that I have another new pet! He's very exotic - he's a genuine Patagonian Whiffle Cone, and his name is Conan.
He has already begun to fit in with our family like he's been here all his life. See how well he gets along with my Extremely Special Striped Tabby Cat?

We took him to the pet store with us today (they let you bring in your pets) - he was very well behaved in the car:

We got him a new litter pan for his asphalt chunks, and of course some gravel paper:

The breeder we got him from recommended a cone-shaped muzzle for those rare times when he gets overexcited (when hearing construction noises, usually):

We weren't too sure whether we should get him a cage, or a cat tree, so we let him try them both out:

Oh yes, we did make one purchase that was NOT for Conan:
.....but YellowLabLover will be posting about that on the Pet General forum!
