Oh baby.

Iggy Pup, tell me – any new fabulous fashion trends the people should be aware of? I’m sorry what??? Cones, bow harnesses and orange gloves?

Oh, its true. You do look fabulous.

Poor little Iggy broke his dew claw pretty badly and it was causing him a lot of pain. We took a trip down to the vet today and now he suffers the indignity of having a little orange bandaged foot and handmade couture cone harness. It all comes off Friday…but come on, thats pretty pathetically cute.

I haven’t laughed so hard as when we put him down on the floor and he had to walk around for the first time with his club foot and cone head. Needless to say – he totally SPAZZED out. I wish I had a video, I’d watched it everyday.

Apologies for being one of those annoying pet people. I just couldn’t resist this awesome little outfit.

      no dog bed.

      the top is a sheepskin on my eames lounger and the bottom is a marimekko pillow from the crate and barrel outlet.

      Awwww! My cat Mini just got rid of her embarrassing cone yesterday http://chezlarsson.com/myblog/2009/08/democracy-part-i.html. Hope Iggy gets well soon!

      poor dog, hopefully he feels better soon.

      Poor Iggy! My cat Otis had a cone for awhile. He just walked around looking pissed. I still have it. Maybe I'll pop it on him tonight.

      Reading this post in a Google reader is perfect because you don't see Iggy's "condition" until you scroll down.

      Get well soon Iggy.

      Poor wee thing! (But also very funny… we laughed so much at our cat when she had to wear a cone, she kept getting stuck under the couch!)

      Poor Iggy! On the positive side, he's really rocking that ensemble. As a fellow pet person, I find him too cute for words.

      Oh Iggy! Had to share that my pup, an adorable toy fox terrier named Basil, has broken his dew claw 2ce!! He did not go for the cast and promptly chewed it off. The second time, they wrapped it a bit too tight as the next morning, Basil's little "fingers" were so swollen so I took it off myself. The cone, though, is priceless!

      Oh poor pup! I didn't even know you could break a dew claw. (good to know) My pup, Arlo Guthrie went through 3 different types of cone/neck things after his neutering. He was not a happy camper.

    16. Katja on 09/04/2009:

      Oh the look on his face, "I'm totally humiliated, but still very cute."

      Oh the cone….. in our house it's known as The Bonnet. When you say he "spazzed", did he by chance freak out like a flopping fish, in fits and starts, almost as if you were tasering him? That's what my Chihuahua does, and we laugh and laugh with our hands over our mouths because we also feel kind of bad.

      Iggy Pup is adorable, from one annoying pet person to another!
