A puggle? You are clearly not trying hard enough to entertain them.
The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

Entertainment walks treats were returned with looks of judgement. But I was a very good host

are you doing the scritches right though?Question for anyone who’s dog has had to wear a lampshade. What do you do about them wanting/ needing to have a good old lick wash around? Mungo just had his dinner sans trumpet and then sloped off to the sofa and had a loud sniffly wash. I realise he hasn’t had the chance to do this for a few days, and don’t want him to be either stinky or traumatised by being deprived of the pleasure of being able to lick his own

We didn’t let ours take it off at all.
I think we decided if it was never removed he wouldn’t start to think it was possible.
He coped remarkably well, better than expected.
He could actually hook his foot into the code to lick it but you’re not going to have that issue with a tail.
How long has he got to wear it?
Thanks for that.We didn’t let ours take it off at all.

Dunno yet.. the nurse who I spoke to when I collected him said maybe 2 weeks.

Assuming he doesn't become a "failed foster" (in other words the fosterer who assesses the dog's temperament decides they want to adopt the dog themselves) then this chap will become available for adoption here:

"failed foster" is a strange term. "Successful foster" would be better although I suppose that's reserved for dogs that have been fostered and returned.Assuming he doesn't become a "failed foster" (in other words the fosterer who assesses the dog's temperament decides they want to adopt the dog themselves) then this chap will become available for adoption here:

Alice went to her new family today. Here she is earlier helping me post my strike ballot
Her new family came over to mine with their dog and we took the dogs for a walk and this meant she trotted happily to their car when it was time to leave
Shes stayed at theirs twice on her own and once with me so I reckon she'll make a quick adjustment
I feel sad as you might expect
Shes been a super companion to me at an extreme time in my life and shes taught me about the way of dogs which really has been a revelation to me. Have a good life Lady Alice of Dachshund and may your new human servants treat you in the way you've come to expect

if you are fully available to pay constant attention then the traffic cone of shame can come off, otherwise it's on.

He’s looking all relaxed and snoozy just now without his lampshade on, and I know I must put it on before bedtime. Note his well-wrapped tail (dildo baggins) but I do know that the next week once the dressing is off and it’s itchy and he wants to lick and nibble at it will be difficult, particularly while I’m out at work and not watching him. So… lampshade has to go back on, and continue to be part of his daily routine, until the wound/ tail stump has healed. Posting this as a reminder to myself.

Aye you don't want him to cause damage or an infection.
I've had cats try to pull abdominal stitches out, I know a cone is difficult but it's better than their healing going tits up.
One thing I found with my cats post-surgery is that they tolerated an inflatable doughnut collar better than a cone, but I can't honestly say whether that is appropriate for a long dog like yours with a tail injury, he might well still be able to reach his tail and bother it with an inflatable collar on, so a cone that covers the sides of the face a bit might still be your best bet.
Best of luck to you all, it sounds like you were upset about him losing his lovely tail, which is completely understandable - but once it's healed it won't bother him any. Loads of love.
Thank you x. It’s not really such a trauma but it does feel it a bit for me. He seems pretty ok with the cone so far. I looked at those inflatable collars but, as you say, not suitable for a longdog with a tail injury. I just need to continue to be responsible grownup until it’s healed.

don't you just hate that job
my medium sized heinz 59 flavours managed to pull the bandage out of his tail while wearing a big dog collar (either that or the dog carer lied) a few years ago.
He has a fairly long tail of destruction though.
Mungo and I are both feeling a little downcast today. We had vets appointment when they’d hoped to take the stitches out from his tail amputation, bout only took out half as there’s still some healing that needs to happen, and lampshade has to remain on for a good few more days. Next visit on Friday.
Meanwhile we are having walks where there are no rabbits or long or wide spaces, so he can sniff around and feel relatively normal
I’ve left the cone off once or twice so he can groom himself and just relax
but as the wound site wakes up it’s obviously quite itchy or stingy as he now dashes under the table the minute he’s eaten to try to get a quick lick or nibble in. So not doing that any more. He’s had dinner and a pee in the garden and is now back on the sofa licking the inside of his cone. Gosh this is hard work, it makes me realise how lazy a dog owner I am. Usually the door is open and he just does his thing.

It’s so shit for him. The vet nurses keep telling me he’ll get over it and probably doesn’t mind as much as I do, and reminding me that he won’t even remember any of this once it’s all healed up and he’s back running around. And of course they’re so right. He’s fine enough, has delicious food, sniffy walks, strokes and fuss, quite apart from the whole sofa to suffer on. Nevertheless he is not having a great time poor love.Poor sod
