Tooshiebum Problems

So.. I've got some Tooshiebum problems. Mommy noticed the area next to my toosh kinda puffy. She thought that I got stung by a bee! If only it was that simple! Instead, I had an impacted tooshiegland. Which means, one of the little glands next to my bum got infected and basically exploded. When Mommy woke up on Friday, she went to check my bum and noticed that it had erupted. It was so painful! She was very worried and wiped my bum with a tissue and it was all icky. She went to work but left early because Daddy had to sleep because he had to work that night.

She took me to a veterinarian's office and they knew exactly what happened. They were very nice, and I didn't really even bark! They weighed me and brought me into an examination room with Mommy, I was so scared! I hurt a bunch and had the smell of other doggies in the room! We had a Vet Assistant come in and talked to Mommy about what happened to me. Then the Vet came in. She was very nice and very sweet to me! She told Mommy all about what had happened and told her that I needed medicine. Mommy told the Vet that I kept trying to check out my booboo, because I don't have thumbs and can't hold a mirror very well. So the Vet gave my Mom what she calls my satellite dish, yep I got a cone! I DON'T LIKE THE CONE at ALL. But I had to wear it, at least until Mommy came up with something else for me to wear so I don't check out my booboo.


We came home just in time to see Daddy get ready for work. He laughed at my cone! I didn't like wearing it, but I had to. So, after Daddy went to work, Mommy went to the store and bought me little boy underwear, but it was way too big! She cut a hole out of the tooshie part of the undies and poked my tail through. Unfortunately because they were stretchy, the hole got big and didn't really cover my booboo. Mommy made the huge mistake of trying to put me in my bedroom with my cone on. What on earth was she thinking?!?! It was sooo uncomfortable! So Daddy took another pair of underwear and cut a hole in them that was so big I could have put my head through it!!! He went to bed then Mommy woke up and saw the hole Daddy cut in the undies for my tail... giggled then went to the store to get smaller undies. She went to Petco to see if they had doggie diapers, but they were ex-pen-sive!!! So Mommy went to Wallyworld and bought some fluffy fabric and a new set of smaller undies... which fit better but were still big. We woke Daddy up and I played with him for a little while, then he went to work and Mommy decided to make me her own pair of doggie diapers just for me. After sewing for quite a while, this is what she ended up making!





They aren't exactly comfy but they cover my booboo very well, and I don't have to wear my cone!!
