Chia: Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies!

Xena: Hi friends. I want to thank y’all for all the nice things about how beautiful I looked in my new yellow flower cone. I was liking it better and better every day. And it’s so sunny and warm outside, I asked Mommy to take a picture of me for my Sunday selfie.

Then…then Mommy took it off me to do another selfie.

I think I posed pretty here. I was wondering if my friends would think I was more beautiful with or without the yellow flower ring when something unexpected happend. Mommy put me in “baby hold” and took a picture of my tummy.

Yep, she figured out the flower around my neck was decorative only. So now…

…wishing all my good friends and my new friends and, well, eveyone a cone-free Sunday (unless it’s an ice cream cone, of course).

Cone Head

I’ve been itching. It’s that time of year, I’m told. At first, Mommy had high hopes that my allergy serum injections would finally keep me from itching this year. I think I’m doing better, but I’m still itchy. My ears itch, so I scratch right under them. Then I always get something called a hot spot. Mommy started treating the new hot spot with some Tea Tree Essential Oil mixed in coconut oil. Then, this morning, Mommy found another hot spot under my other ear. I had been scratching during the night, and no one knew because “dogs aren’t allowed to sleep in the bedroom” anymore. Something about the peeps not getting any rest with us there. So now, Mommy is mixing Oregano Essential Oil in coconut oil and putting it on both hot spots. And I have to wear the cone.

At least I can see the ‘puter and still help Mommy in her home office.

I am still Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: Cone of Shame

Xena: To start off our not quite WW we want to wish everyone a belated happy St. Patrick’s Day, and feature the back of the green shirt that was printed during Angel Lexi’s second run as Toto in the Wizard of Oz.

Can you find Lexi’s name? The first one to get the right answer will win… oh, never mind; Lucy’s just going to stop me anyway.

Lucy: Next, we want to feature the infamous cone of shame. You may remember that “Lois” showed up at our front door claiming to be Ludwig’s cousin. You can click here if you missed that one. Many of you were justifiably dubious, and thought it was probably Ludwig in drag. Well, we are here to tell you that you were right! The first give-away (no, not a trip, Xena) was that “Lois” immediately took up Ludwig’s usual place on the old Victrola.
