Susie's Hat

I'm sure that you've seen these before...these E-Collars that dogs wear to keep them from chewing at sores or recovering surgeries? Our poor Susie has had to wear one of these for quite some time now. She has gotten stubborn in her old age. She also has a flea allergy, so any time a flea gets near her, she starts itching. She has ZERO control when it comes to chewing. I know that if allowed, Susie would chew her leg right off. Our back yard (if you could call it a backyard) is so overgrown that fleas come to our back yard on vacation. It seems to be the hot spot of Tallahassee.

Susie has been wearing her "Hat" for nearly the entire summer now. The kids have started calling it her "hat" because it's just easier to understand, I would imagine.

I mention Susie's "Hat" because it is an integral part of the Corley Clan. If you walk into the house, you are immediately greeted by Susie except that when she jumps up to greet you, she slices your shins with her "hat". Then, she bumps in to everything. She trips over it, and she licks it like she loves it. She also waddles like a duck when she walks because the thing is a little top heavy. I often think of the "Man in the Iron Mask" when it comes to Susie's 'hat". To be completely honest, as annoying as the "hat" is, we all have gotten some good laughs out of it!

With it being Halloween next week, we have officially claimed that Susie is going as a "Satellite Dish". Here she is in her costume and all of her glory!!!
