Alright, I admit it, I messed up. After being cone-free for an entire week, I may have got a little curious and aggravated my hot spot…again. Nothing too serious. Just a little irritated. But enough that out of an abundance of caution Mom and Dad put the cone on me so it will heal in time for our Labor Day weekend plans. Then Asa, feeling left out, decided to nick his dew claw, making a horrible bloody mess, and landing him in the cone as it heals. Again, nothing serious. But it needs to be wrapped so he’ll leave it alone. However, before his injury happened, Asa, of course, found my plight to be funny. Like he’s never had an itch he shouldn’t scratch! But yet here he is mocking my plight by writing another parody. This time it is to the tune of the iconic Whitesnake classic, “Here I go Again.”

I don’t know how it happened
But I’ll sure try to explain
Forgetting all my promises that I made yesterday
I’ve made up my mind
I’m gonna scratch it one more time
Here I scratch again, here I scratch again

Though Mom keeps searching for an answer
The vet never seems to find what she’s looking for
A way to keep me out of this cone for a while

‘Cause I know what it means
To complicate our long weekend dreams

Here I am again in my cone
Got a hot spot that I just can’t leave alone
Like a bad dog, I will chew it to the bone
And I’ve made up my mind
I’m gonna scratch it one more time

It’s just another hot spot in need of treatment
Waiting too long for it to heal
So I’m gonna scratch it for the rest of my days

‘Cause I know what it means
To complicate our long weekend dreams

And here I am again in my cone
Got a hot spot that I just can’t leave alone
Like a bad dog, I will chew it to the bone
And I’ve made up my mind
I’m gonna scratch it one more time
My hot spot again

Here I scratch again
Here I scratch again
Here I gooooooo!

‘Cause I know what it means
To complicate our long weekend dreams

And here I am again in my cone
Got a hot spot that I just can’t leave alone
Like a bad dog, I will chew it to the bone
And I’ve made up my mind
I’m gonna scratch it one more time

And here I am again in my cone
Got a hot spot that I just can’t leave alone
Like a bad dog, I will chew it to the bone

‘Cause I know what it means
To complicate our long weekend dreams

And here I am again in my cone
Got a hot spot that I just can’t leave alone!
