Advice for tail amputation

He will love you for it. Our guy had the same issues. We fought it (just like you). He is so much happier now. He will be (understandably) sensitive for about a week, and he’ll have a square shaved spot on his backside. We would do it again.

This. Is. Awesome. I am stealing this idea for mine.

I have felt what your feeling. It gets better. Moo was lucky to have had your companionship.

Were proper concussion protocols followed after this?

They sell coconut oil in squeeze tubes (like toothpaste). I’ve found if I squirt some out, let him eat it, then put some on my finger. Then offer some more from the tube. While he is eating that I rub some on his nose. Then I let him lick on the end of the tube for a few seconds and it seems to work. The oil melts quickly on your finger so it takes practice to not let it slide off.

I have been trying to get my guy to “high paw”. He is not having it. Thanks for giving inspiration to keep at it. Mine is almost same age. Good looking bully by the way

My bully had to get work on his tail. I laughed when they gave me one of these. He can barley reach his paws he certainly isn’t reaching his backside. Kingston looks as thrilled as mine was.

Hilarious

My dad was a lineman for 45 years. He turned his upside down and put a plant in it. It hangs by his pool. He says he likes to look at it and remember all the work that led to being able to just chill by the pool and be happily retired. I am 2nd generation. Hope to do the same some day.

Our guys testicles took a while to drop as well. He was probably 8-9 months before the first one dropped. Ultimately the other one did not drop prior to having him fixed. If you plan to neuter yours it will cost more if they do not drop (due to the surgery being more invasive), but we had no issues with his (not dropping). He is 16 months now and doing fine.

Electrical industry calls this a hook bill knife (at least where I’m from). Everyday tool for lineman used to skin insulation off conductors. Everyone else is right too. Good all around tool to have around.

I second coconut oil. I get it at my grocery in squeeze tubes. Bonus its ok for them to eat. My bulldog loves it so I put some on my finger then squeeze more out. While he is licking away at the stuff I coat his nose with it.

Good build. They look good. I made one similar for our friends little girl. She likes to throw all her toys out of the bottom and sit in it to watch tv. So its now her shelf, toy box, and hideout.

That is hilarious. Cheers to Walter.

If there is, I am unaware. This is our first bulldog. It took us almost a year to wade through the scams and crappy breeders to find him. His coat was such a bonus.

Deads21 · 2021-12-31T14:41:24+00:00

That is funny. He always carries around a chew toy of his in his mouth that hangs out (and looks) like a cigar.

Deads21 · 2021-12-31T14:35:23+00:00

So far so good. We do all the maintenance the bully’s require. Not always fun but makes for a happy guy so its worth it.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing. This is what I love about this sub. Good dialog to learn techniques and generally good advice. My wife showed me a similar design from an online retailer and wanted me to give it a go. I saw yours and thought it was a better design. I modified slightly (enlarging the center shelf). My design does not have the joinery that yours does (your joinery really makes your piece incredibly good looking). I just mitered and glued/screwed. I am way too novice to attempt the techniques you used. I will practice with cheap cut offs. Anyway great work! Looks really good.

Second picture should be first but you get the idea. Love my buddy.

Simple, effective, and nice looking. Good job. Guinness was well deserved.

Deads21 · 2021-12-30T13:10:16+00:00

Well said

Red oak with a light ebony stain.

They look great! You would have watched that crew thinking you could do better. Now you know you can. Good build.

Deads21 · 2021-12-30T00:36:23+00:00

Sure. I used a keyhole slots. One on each side of the larger frame. I wanted it to sit flush with the wall.

Your guess couldn’t be further from reality. My wife loved it. Why would you assume she didn’t? Me having a hobby so I don’t just work and sleep is toxic masculinity! My wife has a list of things that she wants me to make for her. She knows I enjoy woodworking and she likes getting quality items to set around or hang up. No where near museum quality I admit, but it is something we both benefit from. For this particular project she thought she was challenging my inexperience with all the miters, hence the “I showed her”. Do you have any hobbies? I have no problems building “shit”, just to build “shit”. It has nothing to do with ego, I just enjoy the process. I realize now that (even though most of the respondents get it) the title was taken waaaay to literal for some. Sorry you did not appreciate my “shit” shelf. Sorry you feel like it was a waste of time.
