Cone of Shame Dogs

dogs of our lives More on PawNation: Coneheads, Dogs, Funny, Heart-Warming, Puppies, Sad

    Every dog has his day — not the good kind, but the one where he has to greet the public with a huge, glaring plastic cone around his mortified face. The Elizabethan collar of shame, if you will. We're not sure what the human equivalent is, but if you can recall the last time you were completely humiliated, it is probably exactly what your coned canine is feeling. Go ahead, have a laugh at their expense — but don't be surprised to find your slippers (or worse) chewed up in the night!

    WOOF-SOURCEFUL 

    "When life hands you a cone, add a few olives and shake it up!"

The cute dog with the cone on her head is a black Pug. I have a fawn Pug named Maggie.

Rocket is a border collie. His mom was a tri-color with merle in her lineage and his dad was a red/white border collie. He has a lot of ticking and his ears stand straight up.
