The underexercised hairy one has a problem with his ear, which is a shame as his ears are his most endearing feature. Like all Vizslas they are large, flappy and bleed profusely from the tiniest nick. Following an operation to attempt to patch him back together last week we have become frequent visitors to the local v-e-t-s. I do feel sorry for the poor little mite, but couldn't help chuckling as the increasingly frustrated animal doctors dressed him up as a nun.
Shortly after the photo below was taken, he managed to wrestle his ears free again and shake his head with his normal vigour. It was like a Quentin Tarantino movie. We carted him off in the blood wagon to be patched up again... for the
fourth time that day.
"This is as far as I go. I'm not wearing the habit."

"The hills are alive with the sound of music" tra-la and I bet he wimples .....
poor Muttley ...even Layla had a snigger but don't tell him ;-)
Nun Dog: fairly good name for a Thrash Metal band, methinks.
@DP - Occasionally, but I'm not letting him make a habit of it.
@70s - I won't. His self-esteem is a bit low as it is!
@laog - Nun Dog and the Monk Fish... perhaps.
i like your Tarantino analogy
OH DEAR! That doesn't look very fun. Good luck
@nursey - thanks.. it was a mess :-)
@delilah & rocket - you know how it is with the ears, guys. They look great, they're just a bit fragile. Doesn't get in the way of mad playing though ;-)
Ah, poor Muttley! They hate those lampshade collars don't they? We have a Bite-Not, which is good for stopping them biting bits of themselves, but it wouldn't stop him scratching his ears.
Dressed him up as a nun. ROFL!
@Jay - they hate it with a passion. I'm not overly fond of it either. Mutts forgets he is wearing it and still tries to squeeze between one's legs at high speeds...
