Dog's foot and condoms
My big dog, Rocky, once cut his foot badly and needed stitches.

The vet warned me not to let the dressing get wet, so I decided to cover it with a bizarre knobbly condom (a pack of which I'd bought in a '10p each or 6 for 50p' fleamarket deal. Why? There was nothing else of interest to make up the 6 and I'm stubborn.)

My kids were mainly young teenagers so I ingeniously demonstrated the correct application of condoms by carefully rolling one onto Rocky's injured paw.

They found this both educational and disturbing, and later would ask, 'so... to avoid pregnancy, we roll a condom onto the dog's foot, yeah?'

The youngest, aged about 11, begged me to take the condom off before I took Rocky back to have his stitches out.

However, on the big day my other dog was run over and had to be taken to the vet's too, and in the panic we forgot the condom.

The youngest, anguished over the other dog's accident, came with us, and so

a. realised that we'd forgotten to remove the knobbly condom
b. was present when the vet saw it
and
c. saw the vet invite all the other vets and vet nurses in to admire my brilliant idea.

She was mortified. I don't think she's ever quite got over it.
Dogs were fine though.
