He is 2.5 years old. He's had a rocky few weeks from the time his family gave him up, to coming to my house. Between losing his family (multiple familys since summer, actually), getting vaccinated and neutered, and being at a rescue that has kennels rather than foster homes, he was understandably under a lot of stress although he was a happy boy. <br />
<br />
His poor body broke out in hives and he's feeling pretty miserable right now.<br />

We've had a few incidences which were clearly a result of separation anxiety. The pictures tell the story.<br />

Her injured foot has healed, although a bony callus grew over the injury and therefore her foot still appears lumpy. She doesn't appear to be bothered by it, and there's nothing short of cosmetic surgery that can be done to improve that.<br />
<br />
She still hasn't had her heat yet. I'm waiting to spay her until after she has her next, not knowing when that could be - any time now! I'm actually quite pleased about the situation, in order to avoid removing those beneficial hormones before she has finished growing. Which, she most likely has by now at about 19 months of age.<br />
<br />
Delta gave me a scare back in May when she collapsed on the ground one Friday morning prior to my leaving for work. I honest to God thought she was dead, and even gave her 2 puffs into her snout. She shook her head, and after a couple of minutes, stood up, shook herself off and everything was okie-dokie. A very expensive day at the vet later confirmed that her heart was okay. We don't know what happened, and all we can do is hope that it doesn't happen again.<br />

We've had a couple of playdates with Barklee (9 month old Bernese Mountain Dog), who lives next door, and also a wonderful visit on Father's Day with our friend Mary Ellen, her singing Boston Terrier Walter, and her sweet as sugar Boxer, Cookie. Cookie is quite famous in the Boxer Rescue world - she originated from Manitoba and entered rescue as a result of a horrifying trauma - her previous owner hit her with his car in their driveway, and rather than seek immediate vet care, tied her up in the back yard and waited for her to die. When she didn't, she was finally rescued. She lost both eyes and had brain surgery, but today is a very happy and typical Boxer who loves to play with others, explore her surroundings and give lots of slurpy tongue bathings!<br />

We were seen right away, and told that it could be a stye, or a growth/mass of some sort. We were provided with an antibiotic drop to treat it as if it was a stye, to see if it would go down some (it has, but not all the way).<br />
<br />
At our follow up appointment with our vet last Monday, he confirmed that what she has is a growth on her tear duct, which is common in older dogs and can only be removed with laser surgery. This is booked for Tuesday of this week.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I was preparing for, and had, Lasik eye surgery last week.<br />

It has been 1 week and 2 days since Dita arrived to our home and I must say she has fit in wonderfully! She and Delta play more together as each hour goes by (they now wrestle and tug toys regularly).<br />
<br />
Kayzee the cat is also appearing regularly to hang out on the couch with us, and last night she even went as far as to rub up against Dita, giving her a head-butt as well. The floor needs a little more work as Dita still wants to play/chase Kayzee when she's walking around.<br />
<br />
We had our first walk together yesterday and it didn't go too badly. Pulled a bit for the first part, but then settled for much of it. The <a href="http://www.dogsofpride.com/store/#!/~/product/category=1634597&id=7242207">Freedom Harness</a> is a great help for pulling. She can fit into Brosa's harness and I'm okay with it being used by her.<br />
<br />
Time to start some basic play 'n' train with her. She is still on antibiotics for her abscessed foot, which looks much better but is still healing. Once she's done that, she can get her vaccines and then she'll be cleared to start obedience training. We use <a href="http://lietash.com/">Lietash Canine Academy</a> and their <a href="http://lietash.com/?page_id=35">Family Companion</a> classes.<br />

<br />
The first dog that got me on that path was a young blind Boxer from Boxer Rescue Quebec. Carson was still on the website as needing a new foster or permanent home. Lucky for him, he was already adopted into a loving home, right here in NS in fact!<br />
<br />
The next dog to grab hold of my heart was Troy, at Homeward Bound City Pound. There was just something about that little tank, a Valley Bulldog mix. Alas, he was not the one for us either (he's still waiting for his family - needs a home that will work on his manners, particularly regarding toys). He has a few *let's call them quirks*, which would be stressful to Delta and at her age, I'm not interested in putting her through that. We want an easy one.<br />
<br />
Which brings us to a young (1.5 years) female Boxer in need via my friend at Boxer Rescue Atlantic Canada (or, East Coast Boxer Rescue). I picked up this little girl via transport on Friday supper hour.<br />

She came to me with an injury that had occurred in her former home just before they surrendered her to the rescue volunteer. She has been allowed to run at large and most likely was injured in the woods. She suffered several punctures on her feet and legs, the worse of which created an abscess on her right rear foot. She has never been vetted, had puppies at the tender age of about 9 months, and on a very poor diet. Despite all of that, she is in beautiful shape, doesn't appear to have any parasites, and is a friendly, sweet girl!<br />
<br />
She had a vet visit yesterday morning to confirm nothing was broken in her foot. Xray, antibiotics, pain meds and Sentinel equals one expensive dog in less than 24 hours!<br />

She and Delta hit it right off, although it has been quiet time until this morning. She is obviously feeling much better! She is putting her foot down and using it more, and best of all, the Boxer games have started! How I love to see them play. :)<br />

All of the tests and research could not get to the bottom of his issues, and he was failing. He wasn't responding to the treatment he was getting.<br />
<br />
Last night I suspected; this morning I knew. His first mom, his rescuer Lee Anne, who spent the last 2 weeks with him, fully supported my decision, knowing he was suffering. She lost a favourite pup today too.<br />
<br />
Goodbye my Flying Squirrel Monkey Man. Jump high for those discs at the Bridge, and tell Duncan and Oscar I love them too.<br />

<br />
He drinks too much, pees too much, is losing his muscle mass, is lethargic/depressed, no desire to play, weak/can't exercise.<br />
<br />
This is a hard departure from my Flying Squirrel Monkey Man/The Turd who I love so much.<br />
<br />
As the last test turned up negative, Brosa was started on a course of drugs called Lysodren, commonly used to treat Cushings Disease. It is hoped that this will lower Cortisol production and stabilize him, before testing for Atypical Cushings.<br />
<br />
Lysodren is treated very much like chemotherapy as it's so toxic. Gloves are required to handle the pills and Brosa gets 1/2 a 500 mg tablet each 12 hours. I wrap each half in a Pill Pocket and give to him with his meals. The first pill was provided at supper on Wednesday August 22nd, and I stayed home the remainder of the week to monitor him, particularly through the weekend, to ensure he wasn't suffering any adverse reactions to this drug.<br />
<br />
He also gets Denosyl (a liver support supplement) once a day, Tumil-K (potassium, added yesterday, to help boost his levels which are too low and may also improve his PU/PD) twice a day, Vitamin E once a day, and an antibiotic call Clindamycin twice a day (as it was suspected he had a possible cleft palate infection that was compromising his breathing). <br />
<br />
On Friday, August 24th, while we were out on our deck, I showed Brosa his frisbee which was on the table. He took it from my hands and trotted off down the steps into the yard with it. The first time in almost 2 months he has shown any interest/possession in a toy. It really did my heart good!<br />
<br />
We also went back to the lake for a quick cool off. Given how weak Brosa is, he wore a life jacket in the water. He did have tremors afterwards, so that was just a little too much exertion for him and therefore he won't be made to do that again in the near future, until that time comes (hopefully!) that he's feeling stronger.<br />

<br />
The following day, I purchased two new squeak toys for Brosa and Delta. Delta, as always, immediately detected the smell of them in the bag, so I didn't waste any time given the toys to them. Although Brosa broke his squeak in the first minute, the other still works as I type this, and either toy has barely left Brosa's mouth in the days to follow. This is such a good sight to see!<br />

<br />
Brosa is slowly showing interest in other toys I have recovered from storage (they were put away after the last foster dog, Walker, began to rip every toy to pieces, lol!). <br />
<br />
His condition is "guardedly optimistic", but just seeing his interest in the toys seems positive.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, blood was drawn to test his cortisol levels after 5 days on the drug. It hasn't really gone down much more than a minuscule amount, and therefore the current dosage continues. He will be retested again on Saturday morning.<br />
<br />
Kayzee wasn't forgotten when I shopped for the new squeak toys. In in effort to find fun things for her that wouldn't be eaten by the dogs, I decided to buy a cat grass kit. While waiting for that to sprout, I also bought a bottle of catnip spray, which I sprayed on the old Cat Spa we have but hasn't been used in quite some time. After giving it a thorough washing, the spa was placed on the floor in the sunny spot, and Kayzee proceeded to be in orgasmic heaven!<br />

Stay tuned for future updates on Brosa's condition.doglovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09147318841786365455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808212991984174852.post-70976028026242567642012-08-18T11:05:00.004-03:002012-08-18T11:05:55.325-03:002012 is a really shitty yearI could be forgiven for hoping the Mayans are right.<br />
<br />
Still mourning the loss of my mother. Gone too soon. The liver transplant surgery should have taken place 2 years ago when she was added to the list, not when she was too sick to survive it.<br />
<br />
No sooner had the funeral taken place and foster dog Walker had been adopted, that Brosa started having uncontrollable thirst and urination in the house.<br />
<br />
Our primary vet, after spending $1500 in vet fees, multiple blood work and tests, xrays and emergency fees, simply gave up and said "it's stress".<br />
<br />
I called bullshit on that, and went back to a vet we hadn't used in 2 years (I have a problem with the amount of time it takes to get an appointment there).<br />
<br />
He certainly was up to investigating other tests and diagnostic possibilities.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, since July 9th I now stand at $2700 spent on additional bloodwork and tests, ultrasounds and various medications, and still no diagnosis for my poor boy.<br />
<br />
My Turd, my Monkey Man, my 3 year old baby, is deteriorating, and no one knows what the hell is going on! His results are closest to Cushings Disease, but not 100% so.<br />
<br />
We are waiting on blood work results from the PEI college (blood drawn Monday August 13th) and as of Friday, still not in. So what does the vet do when I report that Brosa is worsening? Give me extremely toxic medication to treat Cushings (Lysodren, along with Prednisone to counteract the effects Lysodren may have on him) without a diagnosis of it. I gave him one dose at supper and then thought better of it. I'm not going to kill my dog with a drug he may not need.<br />
<br />
I haven't had a full night's sleep (not more than 5 hours) since before my mother passed away. I'm up 2-4 times a night with Brosa when he urgently needs to go outside (and STILL has pee to spare in the house).<br />
<br />
I fear I may have to *be kind* soon as I don't want Brosa to suffer much longer. His quality of life hasn't existed in almost 2 months (weak, lethargic, clearly not happy).<br />
<br />
I know vets aren't miracle workers, but I need assurance from them that they care, that they're consulting with others in the field that may bring a fresh pair of eyes. I'm not getting that, and I'm both pissed and heart-broken.<br />
<br />
*end rant* Hopefully next post will bring better news.<br />
<br />
Here's a video of Brosa having a swim last week. He was quite weak, but still gave it an effort to cool off.<br />

<br />
I saved those photos to this online album, to share with friends and family who were unable to attend the service.<br />

Here's hoping a very good application is sent for him. He has come such a long way since his arrival in November!<br />

Didn't mean to let my posting slide! It has been a busy month+ since the last posting.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Delta Update</u></b>: Delta's leg healed well and there has been no sign of recurrence of the tumor (so far).<br />
<br />
Her ears remained on the thick side, in danger of turning into full blown aural hematomas. Fortunately, her right ear (the site of the original one 2.5 years ago) subsided, but unfortunately, the left ear persisted until it started to get larger the weekend of the 10th. Then it tripled in size early in the week, swelling completely by Wednesday.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, March 15th, she went to see our Vet, whose car we have completely paid for by now, I'm certain, and Delta's ear was to be drained on the spot. I assisted out back by holding Delta's head to keep her calm on the surgical table (I'm not squeamish so I asked to come back). Our vet said that with her ear as swollen as it was, her skin would be numb anyway so no anesthetic was given. A catheter was punched in near the tip, and then the blood/fluids drained away. A crazy thing to witness in person, even though I'd seen numerous videos over the years.<br />
<br />
Next, the canula was inserted where the catheter had been, and then came the hardest part, to stitch it in place. Delta flinched a bit, but was the best patient ever. We were done in 15 minutes from start to finish. She was bandaged for the drive home, and then came the instructions to massage her ear as often as I can, give her warm compresses, keep tip clean, wiggle/rotate the canula, etc. This will remain in place for 4 to 6 weeks. She had a one-week checkup this past week, and all is going well. She's had the occasional filling up overnight or through the day when I'm away from home, but this breaks up and drains easily with massages.<br />
<br />

It never seems to end for my dear girl! However, she doesn't let this get her down and she will still run and play with the boys. She is the most patient pup, and still the best big sister the boys could wish for.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Walker update</u></b>: After several long months, it was revealed that the Advantage Multi was not working for treating his Demodex Mange, and therefore we switched to the dreaded Ivermectin (the rescue hoped to avoid using this, but there simply isn't another effective treatment). Walker started off very slowly with his dosage. A little bit for 3 days, a little bit more for 5 days, and little bit more for 7 days, and then finally his full dose for however long it takes. He has had no side effects apart from early on when he seemed a little out of sorts for 2 days, but that may have not been related to the Ivermectin.<br />
<br />
He is full of energy, and doesn't give me any trouble taking his medicine in the mornings despite being told that it tastes awful. He just wiggles his bum into my legs and takes it like a champ. Good boy! He lost quite a lot of hair on his undercarriage and legs while on the Advantage (as the mites were active), but that appears to have stopped and the peach fuzz is coming back! His horrible breakouts he had have cleared up (no more spot cleaning around my house, my clothes, my furniture, etc... it was like a crime scene at times!).<br />

Walker has started agility class and has just completed week 4 of an 8 week class. He is loving it and learning quickly. His tail wags constantly and he just seems so proud of himself when he goes through the equipment. His confidence is skyrocketing! I fully expect he will be ready for adoption in about 1 month's+ time, once we know the Demodex is a thing of the past for good.<br />

<b><u>Brosa Update</u></b>: Not a whole lot new with Brosa - he is his usual Turdy self, ha ha! I took him out one afternoon last week for a trip to Point Pleasant Park and downtown Halifax. He had a great time, and I got very lovely photos of him as a result as well. Brosa will begin agility classes again when Walker has completed his.<br />

Our friend Tara has a new pup - a Cane Corso who she has named Spock. Brosa met him the day after he arrived and was very nice with him. Spock looks just like Brosa, except with a whole face and cropped ears. ;) I'm hoping they'll get to be great friends.<br />

I felt she was swollen, and as the bleeding wasn't stopping, she went to the animal emergency to get looked at. The tissue was starting to heal so the vet didn't want to add a stitch/staple back in. She seemed to be on the verge of infection however, so antibiotics were prescribed and her leg was wrapped up for a couple more days.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I grew progressively concerned about her broken stitch and bleeding, so on January 21st we were in to the vet, where I assisted her with adding an additional 3 stitches in place. Not surprising, I was told no more bandages in order to allow her leg to heal. I was given Fuciderm gel for that, and Metacam for her pain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She broke out in hives the next day, full blown on Monday evening. She received Benadryl (but not Dexamathasone as she'd had Metacam within the past 3 days). She also received Benadryl pills for me to give her each 8 hours, so I stayed home from work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1/2 hour later, and I called the vet. They advised me to discontinue the Cephalexin antibiotic she had been taking since the Emergency visit, and I also discontinued using the Fuciderm.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-f2PDAwGl0zZnEm8Fzbce-oVkzIjEDdW0aBNr3qfHJ_jpXM-tGSRP99a3Fsx5rKaaEpvHctLhILjAtNCZrc9dQurYuNNNdQ8GSfJ_6CI2kfg-au3rwEQlwv3365qKahuUInz5ZLVHqYg/s1600/DSC_3629+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-f2PDAwGl0zZnEm8Fzbce-oVkzIjEDdW0aBNr3qfHJ_jpXM-tGSRP99a3Fsx5rKaaEpvHctLhILjAtNCZrc9dQurYuNNNdQ8GSfJ_6CI2kfg-au3rwEQlwv3365qKahuUInz5ZLVHqYg/s320/DSC_3629+small.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The hives continued periodically. On Wednesday, the vet gave her the Dexamathasone, and advised me that she wasn't so much concerned about the hives and the incision any longer; she was more concerned about both of Delta's ears, which were on the verge of aural hematomas from head shaking wearing her cone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, no bandage to protect her her incision. No bandages to protect incision and catch the weeping. No cone to keep her from licking her incision. What I did do was put a very light self-sticking tape wrap over gauze for the next 2 days. I also dabbed some Bitter Orange cream on the bandage to discourage her from licking. The wrap slid down her legs a bit, but seemed to do the trick.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of the 3 new stitches, 2 of them ripped through. But her skin was looking much better after a few days.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzJVe6jhXavn_JmL3CNtqAK9khezJmNKPOGvHixYAQlS9c7qf97IeBd52N5t1XPZsy8ZCSo0fdYqV58hw7koqRrZXy_sLMOKD33rm8jZpmc8tI3Ou9b2eydeY48b7oGtsTA7Mfmfdmjvc/s1600/DSC_3690+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzJVe6jhXavn_JmL3CNtqAK9khezJmNKPOGvHixYAQlS9c7qf97IeBd52N5t1XPZsy8ZCSo0fdYqV58hw7koqRrZXy_sLMOKD33rm8jZpmc8tI3Ou9b2eydeY48b7oGtsTA7Mfmfdmjvc/s320/DSC_3690+small.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Finally, the stitches came out and she's now fully healed at long last!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She had some occasional hives prior to stitch removal and I am beginning to believe that it was mostly stress for paying such close attention to this awful thing. I thought perhaps she developed a chicken allergy as well as an allergy to the antibiotic. Time will tell (I've eliminated chicken for now but plan to try some with her again).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope this is the end to her medical dramas and that she can live the remainder of her life stress-free!</div>doglovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09147318841786365455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808212991984174852.post-20134814665790613922012-01-14T07:07:00.001-04:002012-01-15T07:15:21.731-04:00Delta is 10 today!Delta is 10 today!

<br />
The xrays were clear and the tumor was removed without any issues - good margins were taken and still there was enough tissue to stitch the incision closed.<br />
<br />
She was a very good girl for them, and a tired one tonight. I have a make-shift xpen created in my living room to keep her quiet and the rowdy boys away from her. She has been sleeping the evening away on the pillows in the space.<br />
<br />
To say I'm relieved is an understatement! There is always the possibility that the tumors will recur, but for now, we are in the happiest of places that Delta will be with us for a while longer, with any luck. Photos to come later. :)doglovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09147318841786365455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808212991984174852.post-46580746144928642322012-01-06T21:47:00.003-04:002012-01-07T11:09:22.038-04:00Delta has cancer<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZAPi5RqfU65ysIby3nq08PT-eG7HTCff1CjXNpNpoMOpOGGsoRsYzwKiBNkaeH8rHpKe9rfg9snrMNQjcH6hVQnrWGJNaQ4mYXkvQMwwL0EjCe6pz5R33RD9g7FoSEwqvuzSmpSmsx0/s1600/DSC_3336+small+circled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZAPi5RqfU65ysIby3nq08PT-eG7HTCff1CjXNpNpoMOpOGGsoRsYzwKiBNkaeH8rHpKe9rfg9snrMNQjcH6hVQnrWGJNaQ4mYXkvQMwwL0EjCe6pz5R33RD9g7FoSEwqvuzSmpSmsx0/s320/DSC_3336+small+circled.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I wasn't going to post anything until next week but I need all the positive vibes I/Delta can get.</div><div></div><div><br />
</div><div>Yesterday, Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 10:30 a.m., my world was turned upside-down yet again. A phone call from my vet confirmed that Delta has a malignancy in her right rear leg (this is not the same leg that had the sheath injury a few months back). </div><div></div><div><br />
</div><div>This was a result of concern I had over a lump near her knee, which I thought was a cyst. It appeared around the end of November. However, last week on my Christmas vacation, it appeared as if it had gotten a little larger and so I made an appointment to be seen last Friday. The vet was concerned as she could tell the lump was attached to the tissue. A fine-needle aspiration was done and due to the New Year's long weekend, wasn't sent to the pathology lab in PEI until Tuesday.</div><div></div><div><br />
</div><div>It's not known yet what type of sarcoma she has based on this aspiration; on Monday morning, she will be undergoing x-rays and a subsequent biopsy or lump removal.</div><div></div><div><br />
</div><div>I was warned that depending on how large a margin needed to be removed, there is a possibility that she may not be able to stitch the incision back up as there is no extra skin in that area. It would mean that Delta would need to wear a bandage for a long time, changing it regularly, due to an open wound.</div><div></div><div><br />
</div><div>The vet will be instructed that should the x-rays reveal bony involvement, particularly if it has metastasized to the chest as osteosarcoma will do, that she should NOT remove the lump. I'm realistic in knowing that at 10 years of age next week, I don't have years left with Delta and do not want to reduce her quality of life with treatment that isn't likely to work.</div><div></div><div><br />
</div><div>Please cross fingers/pray that she has the lesser of the sarcoma evils. I'm devastated, but at the moment, remaining practical until a diagnosis is confirmed. </div>doglovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09147318841786365455noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808212991984174852.post-32111482308944356152012-01-01T10:20:00.000-04:002012-01-01T10:20:19.562-04:00Happy New Year - 2012I had a post published yesterday wrapping up 2011, but decided it was too depressing to leave up and therefore it was deleted.<br />
<br />
I'll just say that in a year of so much sadness (Oscar and Judah's deaths, among other things), I'm glad that 2011 is in the past and am looking forward to only good things in 2012 (Walker's adoption for one!).<br />

On December 18th, I took Brosa to attempt to pass his Retrieval Proficiency Test (RPT) with the Canadian Disc Dog Association. Unfortunately, he flunked as he wanted to play. I found some photos online that were taken while we were doing the test:<br />

Walker's mange seems to be under control now. A re-scrape revealed no live mites, but his feet and throat are still quite pink/irritated and his belly/groin has now developed pimples (which is a possible side-effect of having Demodectic Mange). He will continue to be treated with the medication for a couple of more months to ensure the mange is finally behind him once and for all. His hair is thin/non-existent in places, so I have a treatment that is said to help speed up re-growth. <br />
<br />
Still working on some house-training issues with him (he has been wearing a belly-band in the last little while), and also confidence building. He did well in obedience class and also continues to excel with his house-manners. I may think about taking him to agility to further his confidence building exercises.<br />
<br />
Walker was very quiet during the fireworks last night (Delta trembles, and Brosa barks his fool head off). He did have an oopsie in the house as I didn't let the dogs outside during the fireworks, nor for a while afterwards while the neighbourhood residents were still outside celebrating. So I would say he definitely was affected by the fireworks; just not in the same manner as Delta and Brosa.<br />
<br />
We had a quiet Christmas at home - yesterday, the dogs enjoyed their gifts of Tartar Bones for the afternoon and evening as the old year faded to black.<br />
