 Oh the horrible cone.
Bentley broke his leg about 4 weeks ago and he has to wear a cone to keep him from chewing his cast off. The first week in it was pure he!!, but now he seems to have gotten used to it. He occasionally will still throw a fit when its time to put it back on (he only wears it when we are not with him to watch him for chewing) and if the cone is laying where he can get to it, he will try to destroy it, growling and snapping at it. absolutely hilarious. But she will get used to the cone!
As for riding in the car... Bentley hated his car seat at first but I began to leave it in the house and let him play in it at home and now he is much better with it in the car. Once he did jump out of it while I was driving but he was hooked in by his harness so he didn't get far. He didn't choke himself, he just got mad because he had constrained himself even more by dangling over the edge. After I pulled over, fixed him, and gave him a long lecture, he has NEVER done it again.
Here's some pics of Bentley's carseat and him in the dreadful cone. |
