Camper Cletus Conehead

Annnnd, our guard dawg  

Cletus is doing really well, except that the cone had to go. He's back in the Blue Donut, at least for now. Don't ask.

Now, you realize there's a story there that we all want to hear. 

Love that boy!

 Out with it. What did Cletus catch in his lampshade?

Just practicing social distancing!  

[Patsy]

He was obviously humiliated and horrified by the fact that you left the label/price tag on his cone. How tacky! 😮

Tell the story!

[palmettobug]

I thought you meant the only one not begging to come back in at the door (That's Beautimous Bea, correct?)

[Remolacha]

Boy has style!

[FiveRoooooers]

Thank you, that *is* Bea in the big bed! She needs to have her own thread, the girl is looking at 13 in a few weeks  

We gave it a good try - overnight even - but Conehead Cletus was just knot going to work here. He couldn't manage the ramp to go to the front yard and I didn't want him trying to navigate the stairs. The hallway suddenly got smaller, as did every doorway off of it, and he isn't that steady on his pins to begin with so every time he'd crash into a wall or door it was an event  The stack of planters we use for feeding stands would fly, no matter where I put them. Box fans toppled. The stereo speakers in the LR fell over at least twice. I know that photos sometimes make CG look palatial  but the reality is, there is knot so much square footage here - *I* was having difficulty with the Camper Cletus Cone  and managed better with the Cletus Blue Donut! And there you have it, the rest of the story

Glad he's doing well.

I tried a cone on a Greyhound (Piper) once. The cone had to be ginormous to get past the end of her nose. She couldn't go anywhere without crashing it into something. Poor dog. I switched to a muzzle with stool guard. She wasn't happy about that either, but she was able to wear it long enough to heal (she'd sliced the webbing between two toes).

He looks so forlorn is this picture.  Glad to hear he's doing well.  At least the donut acts sort of like a cushion

Cletus looks blissfully content in the picture of him, lying in the sunshine by your great wicker chair and the wonderful gargoyl.  What a dear heart he is.

Cletus is such a good camper!

You're right, Cletus just loves that spot! It's one of his favs. Funny about the chair - it and its twin had been placed at someone's curb for trash pickup  They are so comfy! The gargoyle was a tag sale find, $8

[Patsy]

Excellent technique, Cletus!  Make it seem like you are truly trying whilst running into everything you can get your devious little paws on. The speakers were an inspiration!  Good job indeed. 

Aren't "alley finds" the best?  (Our trash cans are in the alley). A virtually brand new leather and fabric adjustable office chair?  Yes please!  I also learned with that one that you CAN remove smoke smell. Numerous shelving units over the year serve in my basement and in the attic. A weird wooden double sided, double shelves, flat top unit has served as microwave holder/shoes holder/assorted kitchen stuff holder/and floor storage underneath same for myriad types of stuff for at least 25 years. 

I am SO jonesing to eat OUT. To sit down at a table and be served. To joke around with a server who has known us for years. Eergghhhhhh. Curbside pickup works well and it's not like we're starving or I'm being reduced to actually cooking but I want the social aspect sooooo much. I also don't want to be around other unknown people etc etc so I realize this doesn't make sense. 😐. Ok. Rant over.

Yesterday was a hard day. We had to drive to Fargo (80 miles south) to pick up a replacement portable camper toilet (who knew that would be A Quest). Since that's half way to the nursing home where DH's mom is FINALLY in memory care (should have been two years ago but I'm just a DIL and that topic is a  third rail issue I have discovered--denial is knot just a river in Egypt indeed) we continued onward for a window visit. For the first time ever it was obvious she had no idea who DH was that day. 😥.

I was going to say the same thing.

[palmettobug]

Minnie Pearl would like a word with you...HOW-DEE!!

I'm always wary of picking up furniture, with bedbugs being so widespread. I will pick up friendly cats tho!

Cletus, that cone frames your handsomeness awesomely.

Sorry about your knot good day Patsy. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for asking, and to everyone for the good vibes, Cletus is doing well.

This pic is entitled SOCK_NoConeNoDonut

He's been mostly good about knot likklikklikking and the site looks ok. He has a follow-up next week, hopefully for suture removal.

He's been staying very close these days, insisting on trying to get in the beeg bed at night but he snores so INYOURFACELOUD that yeah, no, sorry dude lol.

I hope he can get his stitches out.  If so, will he still be a sock puppet?

I want a video of Cletus snoring

Yes, to stir the pot, we DO want a video of Cletus snoring (and dreaming of chickens)
