Unless the Vet is going to offer the extra pair of hands for FREE -

All you need is another Set of Hands attached to a somewhat Functional Brain!

Trim Bassett's KLAWZ; equip your New Assistant Wrapper with a pair of Leather Gloves - and Wrap Away!



Now THAT's not fair!!

*Phunnie* as the Walk & Bump & Stumble routine may be...
TRY not to laff!!
You don't want to bruise her ego!

Probably one of the *phunniest* stunts Boots da Kat pulled during his post-operative / ConeHead daze - was the Kliner Chair Vault...

Boots had *heard* Ice Creme being dished up and was circling the chair plotting a method of mounting the arm rest to *dip a paw* as is his custom... The Dawgz were on Full Alert sitting on my feet... All Three *lissnin* for the tell-tail *clink* of Spoon on ALMOST Empty Ice Creme Bowl...

Boots could wait no longer ~
A mighty *LEAP* to the arm rest...
And the Cone caught the edge of the chair .
I swear he did a Purfikt Back Flip and
Landed - Cone FLAT Down on the floor -
then did a Head Stand ON The CONE for at least 10 seconds ~
before falling onto his back!

I waited (holding my breath - did he *break* anything??) until he scrambled onto his feet; shook head, body, AND Cone rather forcefully; and dashed off to the privacy of the bathroom falling wadur klozit for a good pout...

The Dawgs stared at me with alook that said "Did he just DO THAT!?"

Hate to admit it - but I almost died *laffin*!

And poor Boots got ALL of the ice creme "soup" that was in the bowl (when his pride let him return).

Enjoy the Cone Humor - but try to Laff Quietly!
The less functional the better - at least then they will be brave enough to hold Bassett's head!

I don't think my vet will charge me, especailly since I am using my own products. I have all the gauze/tape/etc that I need. I'm also trying to buy some of my own vet wrap (there is a thread in General called "Is this website reliable?" please check it out if you have time) so I don't have to use the vet's stuff.


And I try to laugh quietly.. I even talk on the phone and pretend to have heard a funny joke.. I don't think she's falling for it though!
