Ebony-Skye, baby girl, you still look cute and adorable as ever, even with this hard and unpleasant cone around your beautiful head. Cooper sure hates that thing too! Fortunately, I got him the "Comfy Cone Pet Cone" on Amazon which is a soft cone and so much more comfortable. I suggest to get one if you can still find one at a reasonable price because it is a handy one to have around when needs be. I also hope that the licking is not due to food allergies...poor thing... Cooper and I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving weekend and lots of Cocker love and kisses...from Quebec, CA!!!🐶💞🐾
