lick , scratch and bite Day 16 (project 365)

Today while i was driving I saw someone walking their dog with a dog cone on, felt a bit of sadness for the poor guy not being able to scratch that itch.  I started thinking about how it would feel if someone made us wear one of these contraptions and how maybe sometimes, like today, that it might be a good idea to wear one for the safety of others.  Then on a deeper level - how I/we  wear this and a leash  a bit to often to pacify others and don't allow ourselves to just be and even lick, scratch or bite when needed.
