Snow cone
Posted: February 2, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 43 CommentsIt’s the perfect storm. On the same day as we have a blizzard in Montreal, Alice has a little surgery. Nothing to worry about, but still, she will now be wearing the Elizabethan collar (wittily named the “cone of shame”) for most of the next two weeks while the incision heals. Normally taking her out for a walk is not a problem with the collar on, but in the middle of blizzard that’s another story. She’s still a bit woozy from the anaesthetic, which makes her bump into snowbanks. The collar, efficient tool that it is, acts as a kind of scoop, so at the end of our walk she is miserable not only because of the foreign object attached to her head, but also because her head is now encased in snow from ear to snout. Not a great day for Alice.
Great story, Shari! It brought a smile to my face, thanks!
Thanks Bev! I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry when I look at her!!
Poor Alice. But a nice story. 🙂
She’s better today. Thanks for writing Susan!
Poor Alice. She brings new meaning to “snow cone.” Hope she recovers quickly. Snowy in Boston metrowest too. Snow/rain mixture is not my favorite. How’s the wheelbarrow doing? I enjoy your sketches and blog. Thanks. Carol
Carol I just heard from cousins in Boston. They’ve been shovelling! The wheelbarrow is completely hidden under snow now. We’ve had so much lately!
sending lots of love to Alice.

Thanks Nancy!
This is precious. We have gone thru that with many dogs over the years. I even have a collar in the garage. We can smile but poor Alice.
She’s better today Judy!
I hope dear Alice will be on the mend soon! It’s so sad when our pets are in pain or discomfort. We had a major Nor’easter which we haven’t had since 1996 here in the North East and it lasted for days! Happy painting of lots of snow for sure.
She is on the mend Marilyn. Thanks so much!
Poor baby ! All our love and a special hug to Alice. We do love them soooo much!
Thanks so much Lorraine. She’s feeling better today!
So sorry about Alice, they hate the “cone of Shame” Eileen Lobos says HI!
He is reading Lassie books..

She does hate the cone but she’s much better today. Thanks Eileen!
Poor Alice. Not what I expected with ‘Snow Cone.’ Please don’t tell Alice that I got a little chuckle out of it, though.
I won’t tell her Lois!
Poor Alice!! Hopefully it will stop snowing soon so that venturing outside is a bit more pleasant for her.
HI Joanne,
Thanks so much for your good wishes to Alice. She is better today and we had a long walk.
Get well soon Alice 😕🙏🏻
Thanks Teresa!

She’s better today Karim!
Poor Alice. The cone is hard enough to take with the snow to contend with! I hope her healing goes well.
Mary Catharine, she’s much better today. Thanks for writing.
Poor baby! She must be taking this well enough for you to manage a great rendering of her time on the mend.
When I did this drawing she was still very groggy from the surgery. She’s back to her normal energy level today. Thanks for writing Bernadette!
My husband calls it the “funnel of love”.
That’s pretty funny. Today she’s wearing an inflatable collar which looks like the inflatable pillow I have for the airplane : )
Love the snow cone sketch! Best wishes to Alice for a speedy recovery!
Thanks Lizanne!
Poor Alice. Hope she feels better soon.
Thanks so much Cindy!
Sending pats to dear Alice, with wishes for a smooth recovery. Your drawings bring her to life for your readers who love her. Thanks!
Thanks so much Jean!
I wish all the best to Alice. Hope she recovers soon. Best regards Tulay

Thanks so much Tulay. She is much better today.
Awe, poor Alice, hope she gets better soon.
Thanks Liliane. She’s much better today.
Pet stores sell a donut that is a little better than the cone
Thanks Chris. I got the donut today and she’s much happier!
Good Afternoon dear Shari,
Really love to see Alice again after a long duration.
Nothing more to say.
Regards and blessings
