The first ends of the support members are coupled together and the second ends of the support members are coupled together. r are connected by a flexible connecting means capable of allowing substantially free movement of the first anchor with respect to the second anchor over a distance limited by the flexible connecting means.12. A combination of an object and a device suitable for securing the object in a tailed animal's vagina according to claim 1, wherein the object is capable of being retained in the animal's vagina.13. A method of securing an object in the vagina of a tailed animal, said method comprising: (a) attaching the object to a device comprising: (i) a first anchor, fastened by a connecting means to(ii) a tether, having a first end comprising a connecting means wherein the first end is capable of being connected to the first anchor and a second end comprising a connecting means which is capable of being connected to the object,(iii) a second anchor capable of being disposed proximately to the first anchor, so as to limit the first anchor's movement in relation to the animal's vagina; (b) inserting the object into the animal's vagina, and (c) attaching the first and second anchors to the animal, wherein the second anchor is attached to the animal so as to ensure that the object is not pulled or expelled from the animal's vagina. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein the first anchor comprises a ring suitable to substantially encircle the animal's tail loosely enough to allow the first anchor to freely travel along a portion of the length of the animal's tail.15. The method of claim 13 wherein the first anchor and the second anchor are not connected to each other.16. The method of claim 13 wherein the first anchor and the second anchor are connected: (a) by a rigid connecting means for providing structural support so as to maintain a substantially constant distance between the first and second anchors. 17. The method of claim 13 wherein the second end of said tether comprises a detachable connecting means.18. The method of claim 13 wherein the tether is of such length, rigidity, inelasticity, or a combination thereof that it substantially ensures that the object is not expelled or pulled from an animal's vagina, while the device is attached to the tail of the animal.19. The method of claim 13 wherein the second anchor is attached at a position closer to the tip of the tail than the first anchor.20. The method of claim 13 wherein the second anchor is attached at a position closer to the base of the tail than the first anchor.21. The method of claim 13 wherein the device is suitable for securing the object in the animal's vagina for a contiguous period of 14 days or longer.22. The method of claim 13 wherein the first anchor and the second anchor are connected by a flexible connecting means which allows movement of the first anchor with respect to the second anchor.
