Dog Updates

Elliot IV, King of Humpland (known as Psycho Dog in earlier times), pulled the nail of one of his dewclaws and required minor surgery for it. Since he was being anesthetized, we had the cyst on the back of his head removed. It will be strange not to feel that cyst there, as it's been there most of his eight years with us.

Boogie's ear fur became uneven during our time in TX, making one of his ears look longer than the other, so now that I am a PetWorld employee, I felt it almost necessary to get him groomed. The salon manager worked on him, and I think she did a great job.


The Butterball has become a virtual appendage of Kate. Here is a photo of them taking a nap together. Miss Butter follows Kate from room to room. She is not impressed with the premium dogfood we serve, and typically needs hand feeding to get her appetite aroused. I feed the dogs their morning meal before I leave for work. Kate has no school this week, so she slept late, and Butter with her. Thus, Butter ate her breakfast in bed this morning. Tough life for a dog who was facing death in a shelter a week ago.
