Stuffing something soft into it might well do the trick. Using the whole leg and foot, you could locate the stuffing in place inside the stocking by tying a knot each side of it and then using as much of the leg as you need to fix it in place around her. I was thinking more about protecting the area she is attending to. But try anything - poor wee girl !
Tail wagging
-
My Duna Never wags her tail at us, but howls with happiness and her ears are straight backwards…I wish i could see her little tail wag like other dogs do!!!

Hee hee I just read all the posts about tail wagging…....made me smile. We call it "wobbling" in our house. When we come home Haley's tail "wobbles"........just adorable.

I find the tails very interesting. Some of ours wag tails, some don't. Our domestics have tails you couldn't uncurl if you wanted to….unless you broke their tail. The African's tails are very loose and go limp when they relax or sleep. When the AF female eats, its completely limp, hangs straight down.
Just an observation based on what I see with mine.:)
Hmmm…
Are we risking introducing hemivertebrae by breeding for tighter and tighter curl in the tail in domestics?-Nicole

Kananga doesn't wag his tail much really either. He will, however, do his "happy spins" and then take off running with a B-500. It's almost like he's winding himself up. I laugh every time.

Is it common in the states for a B to have a fairly tight curl?
-
Gossy only "wags" her tail when extremely excited (as when I come home from work) or if she's stalking a squirrel. She has a tight cinnamon bun curl so it just wags at the base - like she's trying to knock it off her butt.

Wizard,
Otis' tail looks like that too..we call it the "cinnamon bun wag"so cute..
-
Does anyone's Basenji uncurl their tail upwards when they are pulling on a leash or while maneuvering during a B-500?
It's hard to explain, but my B's tail will extend up at times when he's running around on his leash, usually trying to pull in a certain direction. He has a loose curl and always uncurls his tail when he sleeps. I always laugh when his tail extends upwards when he's running around.

Shaye's tail is wound tightly, but she wiggles it from side to side when we get home after being a way a while - Gemma's is much looser and she wags like crazy!

Don't know about the hemivertebrae issue, but it's interesting to see what type of tail develops. Neither of Zoni's parents have a tight tail curl, Pow's is a larger loop but Zoni and the rest of her litter have a much tighter curl in their tail. I'm curious how predictable that is up front if you have never bred one of the dogs before. And it seems like good tail set/rear assembly would be more of what is breed for versus how tight the curl is. Zoni's is nice and curly but I'd rather that she wasn't so high in the rear versus having a tightly curled tail. I like them a little more loose personally so that they can drape a little over the side.

You will see that on the lure field… either extended upwards or straight out behind, it depends on the "set" of the tail and the curl....

Kell will wag his all over the place and if really excited it goes around like a helicopter! Rogue just moves hers a bit side to side, Sidhe moves hers when she is really happy to see her boy.
-
Hansel has ALWAYS wagged a LOT. Jonny does when he gets excited and wants to go walk or to initiate play. It is SOOOO cute. Wag=happy
-
Anubis wags his curled up tail too…I think its adorable! He wags and Wooo's when I come home and let him out of his crate and whenever his other favorite person, Dean, comes over. It's so cute!

Kipawa is a big tail wagger when someone who has left the house comes back in. It's a big smile maker for us.
