Cone head boy

Last weekend we took Charlie to the vet to get his vaccines and to get him neutered. They made him where one of those huge cones around his neck, so that he didn't reopen his stitches. The surgery lasted about 1 1/2 hours, and by the time we picked him up he was acting like nothing ever happened to him. He was jumping and was behaving like the happy Charlie we know and love. However, the surgery eventually caught up with him, and he ended up sleeping through most of the afternoon and evening. But, by the next morning he was back to normal--he wanted to play and chew on everything. The doctor told us to make sure he took it easy and didn't just around a lot, but how can you take it easy with a dog like Charlie?...He spent a lot of his time trying to get the cone off, but he had no luck. He definitely had some issues moving around the apartment and falling asleep, but I have to admit he looked pretty funny. Here are some pictures of the conehead ; )
