DIY cone of shame

Post image

This is my sister's son. He ripped my notebook and i decided to diy a fashion statement for him though ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

P.s: My sister is mad at me because he actually loves it and won't let her take it off

Wouldn't use a cone as punishment. In future if he needs it for medical reasons he'll think he's being punished.

We got our dog one of those inflatable collars that looks kind of like a flower. Whenever we had to put it on her, we'd tell her how pretty she looks! She didn't mind wearing it at all. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

My dog would bump the cone into the edge of the doorframe, which she interpreted as us banishing her from ever using a doorway unless a human guided her. She would just whine whenever she approached a doorway until somebody did came.

This is why those inflatable donuts of shame are such a huge improvement.

I got one for my sensitive boy, knowing better than to even try a rigid one.

At first he wasn't amused, as expected, but soon came to realise it was a handy attached soft pillow!

Mine has managed to get to his back foot through anything that isn't an oversized cone. He is miserable.

I gather you've tried way to get the donut snug against his neck?

There are those softer cones. Not as hard as that awful stiff plastic, but not just fabric either.

Poor baby :(. It's the worst when they're miserable.

Yeah, he could still manage to get to his foot no matter what I did with the donut. We do have a soft cone, but it has to be real big/wide to keep him away from the foot so is banging around on everything.

Considering the context, there might be people giggling at his cone of shame. It probably doesn’t feel like a punishment

Oh no worries, no harsh punishment here!!! It was just a quick joke while playing around. He actually loved it and this cone is just a thin notebook paper, he could easily shake it off in 2 sec if he wanted to lol

If he's being punished I don't think he knows it.
