Sheridan Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 He was very happy to see me. Not at all frantic so he must have settled down pretty quickly. Mr Bucket Head can eat in a bucket. Poor Mr Bucket Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Aww poor mr bucket head Good to hear he didn't get into trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wire Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi Sheridan, poor Mr Grumpy, hope he's out of his shackles today. Have you seen those other type of elizabethan buckets available? They look like donuts and I think they are a blow up. By the looks of them, far more comfortable than these hard plastic things plus the dog can use it like a pillow, well sort of... when sleeping. Not describing it too well but I'm looking at getting one for future use. Just a thought, these standard buckets are pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooper Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I was just going to ask about the inflatable donut type ones -- do we have them here? I've heard of people using them in the US, but haven't spotted them locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 I haven't seen the donut ones available here at all. I think I might order one from the US for future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetty Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 When Jet had his on I made a small area outside cut off from the rest of the yard with shelter and his water and toys and he was fine in there. However he was a clever boy and I came home one day to find he had figured out how to take the collar off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Okay, just wanted to let people know that Mr Bucket Head is back to being plain old Grumpy. The bucket is off, the stitches are out and (fingers crossed), he seems to be leaving his leg alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wire Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Glad to hear he's better. It must have been pretty anoying for him. These collars are called Elizabethan ProCollar Inflatable or just ProCollars. Found some on www.petsplus.com.au and they come in various sizes. My dog has a 17 inch neck and needs the large. Not cheap, $69.00 for that size. One of my local pet suppliers has them at the same price, I'll be going in tomorrow to pick one up. I must be getting old and grumpy (Mrs Grumpy ) but doesn't everything seem to cost a bomb these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Everything dog related costs a bomb. Grumpy is running around like a lunatic so it looks like things have returned to normal now that I have my acts two but is actually 14-year-old back.

wire Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Picked up the ProCollar today. Without a doubt it is infinately better than the hard plastic bucket thing. Just my luck if I leave it lying about one of the dogs will sink their teeth into it! Mr Grumpy sounds like a live wire! At 14, he should be sitting in the lounge doing the cross word, not running around like a maniac! Well, I did it. Went and got another Wheaten. Total rocks in my head. They are running a muck. Play time is between midnight and 2am. Edited March 19, 2010 by wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wire Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yep, two Wheatens. They are full brothers, Wally comes from a litter of 6, him being the only boy. He's very smart and quite fearless. He's also extremely lucky that big brother is letting him get away with murder! Suddenly the house is dirtier, the poop has trippled, my bed is smaller, the food bill has exploded and I have been driven to :rolleyes: By the way, I needed to use the ProCollar on Murphy the other day and it went extremely well. He didn't freak out, had full vision and was able to sleep on his back all night. I let some air out before he slept to make it more comfy. Highly recommend them. Very expensive to buy but they are miles ahead from that other bucket. PS: Lots of cuddles from my two boys makes me forgive them. I just love picking him up whilst he's still small ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sounds like you're having a great time. Not sure I could cope with two wheaten boys. They can get pretty full on! I'd love a boy to show but Master Grumps wouldn't like another boy and he hates puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
