Advice for buckethead dogs:
1. Gravity hasn't suddenly stopped working so you don't have to walk in that stupid way.
2. No, you can't fit into that gap behind the summerhouse anymore.
3. Yes, the fox terrier can steal your treats if you drop them on the floor. She isn't a buckethead: you are.
4. Don't woof at Rottweilers when you have a bucket on your head. Actually, don't woof at Rottweilers. Ever. Got it?
5. Groaning and whining at me will not make me remove the bucket.
6. Having a bucket on your head is NOT the worst thing that ever happened to any dog in history, and the RSPCA is not going to send in the SAS to rescue you.
7. Yes, I know you can't chew at your stitches now. That's the point of the bucket.

My darling went through buckethead syndrome a few months ago due to a tail injury. Here's some of my advice to my buckethead:
If you can't manage to get out the door the first time, for heaven's sake, back up and try again. No matter how much you stand there and lean, the door jamb won't move.
Pick your head up. Just because you are bummed, doesn't mean you have to make a loud dragging noise to make us feel guilty. You know you don't walk like that normally.
If you weren't so stubborn about trying to chew the bandage off we'd take the bucket off. But the thing is, you can't be trusted, can you?
There is absolutely nothing you can do that will make me feel guilty because the alternative was a tail amputation, and then you'd feel worse, wouldn't you?
I hope your buckethead feels better soon.

LOL, thank Donna. He's got a bit more used to it now, so collision incidents have reduced by 50%. But Wednesday - when the stitches come out and the bucket comes off - seems a long way away.
