As I've mentioned before, when Mabel arrived almost two weeks ago, she was still in the part of her heat cycle during which she discharges blood. And on her first full day here, we decided that we had to do something to keep her from dripping all over as she walked around the house.
Brandi asked if I had any old underwear. I did. I had an old pair that I hadn't worn in a long time in part because I switched to a more comfortable style at some point and in part because the material was torn from the band in one place.
So with some scissors, a bread tie, a menstrual pad, and my unmentionables, we made Mabel a diaper.
She looked ridiculous but, luckily, didn't have to wear the contraption more than a day. I never thought I'd be posting photos of my underwear on the Internet, but I'm sure Mabel never expected to be wearing them either. The poor girl looks humiliated, doesn't she?
(By the way, the makeshift diaper wasn't on quite right in these photos. I fixed it later. And as it turned out, that hole between the fabric and the band was the perfect place for Mabel's tail to stick out.)

More of Mabel (Or At Least More of My Underwear) Than You Ever Wanted to See

I love this underwear story! How is Mabel doing with crate training? Good, I hope! I am having a lady come by on Tuesday to teach me how to crate train my crazy one. Sigh.
AWESOME!!!
I see London I see France
I see Mabel's underpants!
She actually is very comfortable in her crate (the dog bed she sleeps in moves wherever she goes, including into the crate when she's in the office with me during the day), and she moves in and out of it as she pleases throughout the day. The problem right now isn't the crate training itself so much as reducing her separation anxiety. More on that later...
Good luck with Davey's training! (Is he a permanent member of the household now, by the way?)
