Retrievers are rightly famous for their ability to eat just about anything.
I should have been suspicious yesterday afternoon when Porridge started desperately trying to snatch at grass in the garden. The dressing on her operation wound seemed to be loosening and some of the compresses were hanging out. So I snipped off the excess and hoped for the best. We are talking about an enormous dressing here… about
She was panting and restless and desperate to eat grass, but she still managed to down her morning biscuits before I realised this. Her tummy was absolutely enormous.
But it seems to work as a smell amplifier. And things got very exciting around our favourite rabbit warren. Look at the tension on that lead. She wanted to race into those brambles and sniff them out.
But no….
So we were a bit depressed again when we got home…

Bet she can get good satelite reception though...Jimmy
I hesitate to interfere but, my cats and dogs were able to be lampshade-free when we were about to supervise them and certainly during walks when the dogs really appreciated being unfettered...
just a thought
Oh dear. I'm so sorry dear Porridge. But I'm laughing. Like a drain. Like a big-ass main drain sewage conduit under central London. One might, indeed, say I'm incapacitated with mirth.
Sorry.
Snort.
I will probably take it off when I understand how to undo it...knowing her she will probably eat it by tomorrow morning...
A Very Difficult week.
Aw poor Porridge!
Watch your legs as those things seem to build up quite a powerful swing action momentum and can inflict great thin weal-like bruises on one's unsuspecting calves. They certainly do seem to funnel all the smells up to that pink nose, don't they?
Mouse is right though, you can take it off for walks etc - the fastenings are a bit stiff at first but you get the hang of them.
