What do you do with your spaniels ears while they eat?

[Llewellyn]

Pip has just had her Pilchards and now she is wiping pilchard smell over my house. Blugh!!!
They are trimmed short and groomed regularly.
Mother suggested tying them up at dinner time anyone do this and if so how do you keep them there?
Tried tucking them into her collar but they slip out. We have a spaniel bowl but they sit close to her nose and go in too.
Ideas please.

Get her a snood. Cheap enough online

When I fed my mums CKCS I used a clothes peg

But a snood is easier

I had a Biiiiiiig velvet scrunchie for Spangle features, that and the spangle bowl worked well together

Staple them to the top of her head? Duct tape?

Hen normally has dry food, if he has something smelly I just pin him down and wash his ears

Otto must be a very delicate eater, he never gets anything in his ears! In fact none of ours ever have, it wouldn't occur to me that they would!
We've always just used normal stainless steel bowls too!

Make a headband from a wide crepe bandage.

Perhaps the bowl she is eating from is too big ? my spangles ears hang either side of her bowl, just a thought

Pets at Home do a fabulous special spaniel bowl that slopes so that ears don't drop into the bowl.

We have 'spaniel' bowls which do work up to a point. Major problem for me is spaniel who delights in dropping dog biscuits in the water bowl, waiting for them to sink and then 'diving' to get them out again. Bubble blowing and sodden head!!

I recomend tubigrip over the head for dangly ears.

Sorry forgot to say Pippin is a wild furocious dog on a raw diet so the fact she has spaniel bowls only helps for eggs and yoghurt everything else she takes out to eat . Thank you for all your help have lined up serval contraptions. Mwahahaha.
