<p>@ Beth - You're absolutely right re. choice of cone as it relates to need. The soft cone wouldn't work in your situation.</p>
<p>How's Jack's eye? Hope it's healing well. Keep us posted.</p>

<p>This heat is awful. I'm sitting outside in the shade w/ RR tethered to my chair w/ his 6' lead. It's hot in the shade. But, he's happy. He's had such cabin fever the last few days. I can't wait for this heat to end. He needs to be walking more. It's just too hot for me. Jack's been at a conference for 2 days. He's like a lizard. He's the one that walks them twice a day no matter the weather.</p>
<p>I'm worried that I'm teaching them that play is not a good thing. Don't know how to avoid it…</p>

<p>I'm worried that I'm teaching them that play is not a good thing. Don't know how to avoid it and keep them from playing. I am sure the minute I don't stop them, they'll be right at it in a nano second. They're both biting at the bit to play...</p>

<p>Another thing you might consider is switching to a RAW diet. I've found that many dogs with extreme allergies do very well on RAW. Also consider a plunge bucket at your door and an extra towel. Clean your corgis feet prior to coming in the house. They can have contact allergies with grasses and the plunge bucket did the trick.</p>

<p>Wendy, since it was Jack's eye that was being protected, we didn't feel safe leaving it off while he was outside. We were afraid he'd rub it against something. If it were stitches he would have been fine.</p>

<p>You mean your table isn't on the wall? I would turn it around in my photo editing software and save it with a different name, then post it. I don't think you can straighten it on this site. How is the Rafenator doing? When Snickers and Jack Spaniels decide to play I have to distract them. I send them to their "place" for a treat, or take Snick outside for a potty break (really short ones in this heat!!!). I don't want them to think playing is bad. I am taking Snickers for a 10 minute walk…</p>

I am taking Snickers for a 10 minute walk in the AM, but its too hot in the PM for now. When it cools off I'll try to do two walks a day. We are supposed to step it up another 5 minutes a week until we are past what I can do.

<p>@Beth - well done. we found we didn't need the cone on walks. But, each dog is different. we also removed the collar when RR needed to eat or drink. Oh, the cone of shame. We were so very happy when we got the ok from the vet to remove it! We used the Comfy Cone. Sorry, I don't know why photos are sideways.

<p>good advice. if the collar is too short, problems. if the collar is too long, one sad corgi!</p>
<p>get it right.</p>
<p>ricky-rafa had the comfy cone, recommended by his surgeon and it was great. another corgi used the inflatable collar w great success. the rigid cone is awful. i'd try every option acceptable by your vet before i would subject my dog to that rigid collar.</p>

<p>I almost think the other dogs might think the soft or inflatable one was a toy. they have been following Herky around and kinda batting it with their paws as it is. </p>

<p>We have made it thru the first day with the cone on and what a difference in his feet. they look so much better already. He usually doesn't chew them at night so vet said we could try taking it off at night and see how it went. so…</p>
