I survived my ten days in a cone and I killed it literally! These ten days were the longest ten days for me, my mom, and my sisters. It was no fun at all and I was losing hope that it would ever come off! Sunday right before dinner, the cone was finally removed.
Did I mention I killed that thing? I did a really good job of making sure no one else will ever be able to wear it! Not only did I chew off the tabs, I bent it all around so the plastic is weakened, and it is tearing in spots. What about the new one Mom and I bought? She decided to keep in in case of emergency and just patch the old one I was wearing regularly.
Here I am right after Mom took off my cone. After ten days in a cone, I wasn’t sure what to do or think. For a few moments I just sat there, enjoying my freedom feelings.
The feeling of lying with my head right on the floor again is wonderful. After dinner, I took a bit of a snooze.
When I got up, I headed to the window seat to see what was going on in the neighborhood. Finally I have an unobstructed view of the world again. To think I used to take that for granted.
Bedtime is amazing again! Have you ever tried to get a good nights sleep in a cone? It is really not possible. I slept like a log Sunday night. No worries, I go in bed sometimes, but I prefer to sleep on the floor.
Monday morning it was raining, just disgusting and ugly out, but Madison and I still took our walk together. Mom only let me go down the block and back with my cone. Finally I could check out what is going on in the rest of our neighborhood area. Madison says she missed her walking buddy too.
Who missed me the most? Surprisingly, Bailie! After Bailie came back from her walk, we played chase around the house until Mom finally caught and separated us. My oldest sister was wilder than I was, can you believe it? I guess she does really love her little brother a lot and she enjoys playing with me.
Olivia is no longer afraid of me. With my cone she would growl and stay away from me. Now we are back to being best buddies. We didn’t get too wild but we did go outside and play in the rain together for a while. Doesn’t Olivia look proud of her little brother?
After walking and playing with my sisters, and eating breakfast, this little guy needed a nap. It sure is nice to snuggle with a Furballz without the cone in the middle of it all. I’m one happy guy now! Hopefully I will never need eye surgery again.
My GBGV Life is happy, so weβre joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!
We are so happy that you are cone-free after all this time, Nelson, and we hope you never have to wear a cone ever again for the rest of your days! Have fun being a free man!
Thank you. Mom says my sisters never have worn the cone, so I am the lucky one, not! I’m enjoying being me again.
yay for a cone free time… you made it… and we wish you all the best and the cone is gone!!!
I really thought it may be a life sentence. Things are so much better now.
BOL BOL BOL dogs and cats everywhere are cheering at you success too.
Mom surely had to keep it together for you too.
Hugs and smiles

Mom and I suffered the most but it is all forgotten now!
You were a great patient. I wouldβve taken it off way before 10 days.
You would not because if I had rubbed my eyes I would have most likely needed surgery again. Mom said it was better to live the ten days and be safe.
Yay, freedom at last! Nelson, you look very happy, and hopefully you will never have to wear one of those again.
I never want to even see a cone again!
Oh our goodness that picture of you sleeping on the floor says it all!!! You must have been exhausted. Good work!!!! Mission accomplishedβ and never wanted again!!!!! your friends Lilly and Chester
It was a very tiring and difficult ten days, but now Nelson is back and better than ever!
I’m happy for you, Nelson! I remember how much poor Ducky hated wearing the cone when she had to, and her older sisters too.
It was pure torture and it made me really sad.
Oh, Nelson, you look so very sad! It is okay, baby boy, you are free from that nasty cone! Your world looks normal again. XOXO, Sparkle
Life if good once again and I’m my happy self.
YAY for being cone-free!! I can sooooooooo relate Nelson! Love, Levi
Thank you, Levi. Cones are torture.
I’m doing the happy dance with you, Nelson. The cone of shame is gone and you did a good job killing it too.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. β₯
I never want anyone to have to wear that horrible thing again!
HURRAY!!! We are so glad you are footloose and cone free Nelson!!!
xoxo,
Rosy and Sunny
I am and I am making up for my ten days of quiet.
I’m so glad it is finally over and hope you never have to have any other surgery again.
I hope so too, but if I have to have surgery, please no cone for ten days 24/7.
I’m so happy to hear that you are officially cone-free Nelson, that really is wonderful news. You should get a nice shiney trophy for endurance!
Just having my freedom back is a good enough prize!
So glad you survived the cone caper. And your eyes look terrific!
Mom says they are looking better all the time. They will still be more red until the stitches are fully dissolved, but Mom says they look much better.
Nelson! Dude! We are so happy that you got you cone off! Playing with siblings again! Going for walks! Sleeping! Toys! All without the cone is grand! Purrs Marvelous Marv
Thank you. I’m super happy and back to my former self.
