Hello!

I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit, but I figured it'd be a good place to start.

I have a 15yr old female coonhound, Reba, who has developed nighttime incontinence in her old age. We've been to the vet and her labs are all normal, no UTI, no kidney issues, nothing like that. Just some sleepy pee-pees that come with being 15.

I got her some washable/reusable diapers to help save my floors, but they don't seem to stay on even though her measurements fit the size I ordered and they're adjustable with velcro & snaps.

Her tail is in a relaxed downward position most of the time, which I know is contributing to the diapers slipping off, but i cant get the "no tail" diapers because she does have a long tail. ​

Are suspenders the only option to keep them on, or is there a certain type, style, or brand of diapers that work better than whatever random ones I got from Amazon?

Also, shes still mobile and house trained, so she let's me know when she needs to go out for a bathroom break, but she is also very old and will take sporadic naps through the day. It's been a hassle to try to keep the diapers on all day to protect from any nap time dripping, but also a hassle to have to take it off and put it back on again when she asks to go outside, especially if suspenders are added into the mix. Is there a happy medium I'm overlooking?

Thank you for any and all help

Please let me know if this isn't the right subreddit, if there's a better place to ask, or if this isn't allowed. I just figured this might be a good place to start.

I was at hobby lobby the other day (small town, minimal options) and I saw these poster board/canvas/panel things. It wasn't what I was there for at the time so I took a mental note they existed and didn't look into them any further.

I'm now brainstorming a new project that these might be useful for, but I have no idea what they're called or how much they cost or really anything so I'm hoping someone can tell me what they're called.

Here's what I know:

-At my store's location, they were along the back wall near the easels and other art supplies.

-They're large, maybe 36"x48" or similar

-They're thin, like poster board but just a bit thicker

-They came in many colors

-They felt like really thick paper or cardstock or something like that, but we're rigid enough that they weren't floppy

I appreciate any help that can get me closer to figuring this out
