Sorry to hear about Thorton's woes Dok. I wish we could somehow communicate to our fur clad family members that we are giving them medical treatments for their own good. Hoping for a clean bill of health going forward.
Ugh, a previous doggo of ours had knee surgery and managed to pull staples out of her leg by somehow bending the ginormous cone of shame she had on so she could reach her knee.
Glad to hear Thornton is on the mend and you caught the thing early enough for such a good prognosis!
My wife heard about the Joey Chestnut thing this morning and was of the opinion that Impossible should run to the marketing people immediately and build an ad campaign around 'Hotdogs so good Nathans is scared of them!' while Joey scarfs down 40 or so :-)

This has finally gotten out of hand. NK is sending 🎈 with bags of random trash attached, I'm guessing when the wind conditions are favorable, over the DMZ to SK. SK is retaliating with the "Noriega " strategy. Blasting high decibel K-pop back across the line. Where does the madness end?
For those like me who immediately wondered (again) where the term “cone of shame” comes from, the answer is sorry nobody really knows. It was apparently first used in popular culture in 2009 in the movie “Up,” but many people in various comments say they used it for years before that. MIGHT be a reference to Get Smart, but seems unlikely because that was the Cone of Silence, and honestly didn’t look anything like the pet version, being lowered down from above and not worn around the neck (which imho would have been funnier, if they had to tie it on to use it).
I know we called it the Cone of Shame when our boxer dog Thor had to wear one, and he was two fairly long-lived boxer dogs (Max and Ziggy) ago, so that puts it back a bit... into the early 90s or late 80s.
I posit that the reference is possibly derived from the Dunce Cap, since the apparatus worn by our animal cohabitants looks much like one upside down...
get well soon, thornton!
I hope Thornton is feeling better soon. I'll be thinking about him 🤗❤️❤️❤️
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and future good health for Thorton and for Dok. I am sure this experience has put you both through the ringer.
Kept the pressure up on Alito. We need that seat!

i suggest Mark Gattis for the role of Alito on the bio-flick
Good to hear that Thornton will be doing OK. He is such a handsome boy! Meows of healing from Buster & Thurgood

Perhaps when the governments of South Korean and North Korea age out of middle school.
Thornton! 😢

2024 Obligatory: Was Thornton vaxxed?
Sounds as though Thornton might need a bedtime story from "Dear Shit Fer Brains" about the Cone of Loving Correction.
You mean the Cone of Shame.

I know we were calling it that when our dog Cicely had TPLO surgery on her knee in '95 or '96.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
