I don't think there is anything more pathetic than a dog with an e-collar. Even the other dogs won't let you play their games.
The ground is again covered with ice but most of the snow is gone. Unfortunately, yesterday I missed the most pathetic of all picture - Willy trying to "snorkel" in the snow with the e-collar on. I have to admit, I was laughing too hard to run in and get the camera.
Poor Silly Willy has hot spots on his rump that he won't leave alone - thus the e-collar. He has however taken full advantage of the snow and ice to roll, scratch and cool his itchy behind.
