Well our new pup Jada has been with us about 5 weeks now and had her ears taped up for about 6 weeks since the surgery. She is doing well but I have had a time keeping her ears posted more than a couple days. In the past I only had one dog at a time so I only had the one dog that had its ear taped to try to remove it. Now with my red boy Titus licking Jada ears and the two of them rough housing all the time the head set gets some serious abuse.
I use foam backer rods backtaped with Zonas tape for the post and apply skin bond to get better adhesion. With the usual piece of tape between the two post to get the upright stance. Well between Titus licking, and Jada romping hard with him often rolling her over on her back and bending the post around at all angles I kept having a problem of the bottom of the post coming unglued and then the post leaning inward. This would put the ears at an angle that was not correct and bugged Jada also. So about every two days I was reposting to keep her angles correct. Well yesterday I decided to take a piece of the foam backer rod and put it between the post and tape it in place to hold the ears at the angle I want and to strengthen the whole set up and I am very pleased with it. I should have been doing that two dobes ago LOL.
Anyway I guess watching football with all those field goal this weekend got me thinking about a goal post for Jadas head. So far is working great and I am very pleased. maybe she can keep this on 4-5 days and she will be happier too with less ear jobs. I know some of you may already have done this trick but I just cant figure out what took me so long so I pass it on.
