I think it's great you're raising awareness that muzzles are not only for agressive, out-of-control dogs.<br /><br />I love that photo of Beryl and Frankie playing rough. George loves a bit of rough playing, too, but it's usually his dad who has to deal with it, as he hasn't got a dog sibling. I have, however, whippets playing together, and to someone who's not familiar with the breed, it would most likely look like they're killing each other.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the award. I am both surprised and honored...I'll pass it on as soon as I've thought of interesting things to share about us :) I think I'll go for the yellow one...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-16385303523136589082011-06-12T14:59:53.287+12:002011-06-12T14:59:53.287+12:00I've never even bothered with the Elizabethan ...I've never even bothered with the Elizabethan collars! We just go straight to the muzzle with the stool guard. Much to Lilac's disgust, I might add. They also come in handy at nail trimming time. I don't know what it is about the muzzle, but they become a lot more agreeable when it goes on while we're trimming nails. I also take ours along if we have a dog in pain and we're going to the vet. I know they deal with dogs in pain on a regular basis, and dog bites are something they all experience, but I feel better muzzling them when there's a chance they might act out of character due to pain or fear.<br /><br />You have a great list of blogs for the award!houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-1803731316202014842011-06-12T11:09:13.807+12:002011-06-12T11:09:13.807+12:00i wish i had more time to read this very interesti...i wish i had more time to read this very interesting post. i got as far as Beryl adjusting to her new tail [or lack of]. afraid i will have to run now. waiting for cab!

I can definitely understand why though. Zephyr and Astro are very energetic and rough players. They love other dogs too, but some dogs get a little scared when confronted with a large bouncing beast. :-) They are very mouthy when they play too, luckily both have great bite inhibition. I love all the green grass you have to play on. Great pictures!Hiking Houndshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364529045292356744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-7494547984281816512011-06-12T03:37:37.197+12:002011-06-12T03:37:37.197+12:00Wow!!

It's good to explain their purpose, as they can look intimidating to someone who isn't familiar with the hounds. Our greyhound, Roxie, has been with us for 10 years, and hasn't been prone to injury at all, thankfully. In her younger days, she played rough with other dogs too, and very boisterous! I'm glad she's mellowed a bit from those days. She always had a low-prey drive, but her behavior still made me nervous, as if someone was going to get injured. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for including us in your award selections! It was good to learn more about you, and I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm not big on talking on the phone either (incoming/outgoing calls,) but I blame that partly on being on the phone a lot at work.<br />Happy weekend to you, Frankie and Beryl!!<br />KristinKristin G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16980232634116657866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-2855798001640656232011-06-12T02:14:58.492+12:002011-06-12T02:14:58.492+12:00I tried the e-collar once.

So I do use the muzzle with the stool guard on to keep them from getting to an injury.Mad Red Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129668480876429229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-60610569655577812282011-06-12T01:51:52.842+12:002011-06-12T01:51:52.842+12:00Its sometimes hard to have a dog with super delica...Its sometimes hard to have a dog with super delicate skin that loves to play rough.

And more than a little embarrassed because I haven't been writing thought-provoking posts lately--just riddles.<br /><br />I'll pass it along just as soon as I can.<br /><br />I've loved reading your answers to greyhound questions. We see a couple of greyhounds at the dog park who don't really play much. They just survey the grounds in a princely fashion.<br /><br />I assumed they were rescues (we have a big greyhound rescue in the area that takes retired racing dogs) who never learned how to play.<br /><br />But now, I'm wondering if their trying to protect their delicate complexions from all the other hooligan dogs in the park. Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to ask them one day.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768027087753712341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401043034682486843.post-4922080712235123312011-06-11T21:15:59.730+12:002011-06-11T21:15:59.730+12:00poor spider had to wear an elizabethan collar, vet...poor spider had to wear an elizabethan collar, vet wouldnt let us leave till we got one, poor thing couldnt even get into his kennel or through doors with one on, <br />he needed a giant one cuz of his long head. we ended up borrowing a plastic muzzle as i only had wire ones.<br />plastic muzzle was much better than the elizabethan collarashleynoreply@blogger.com
