I think I forgot to share. His name is Odin. My wife is Scandinavian

Congrats, Terry !

Cool name. Baldr and Vidar’s father (our current two - our previous Corso was called Wotan = Odin)

Went out and threw the frisbee once, maybe twice.

Doofus occasionally grabs the thing upside down so when running through deeper snow ends up scooping/flinging it onto himself.

He will be a god amongst dogs, Terry. Beautiful pup ! What breed is Odin ?

 

[EMCEE]

Wally thinks he’s a big tough dog. He’s not. I love this little fella, though.

Full blood Boxer. He’s already a handful!

Right on brother ! May he grow strong, fast, fierce, loyal, and clever…such as a good boxer should. Congratulations man.

On a walk, Walter and Nova are a little small for protecting Mom and I. No doubt, they’d try. I’ve got there back.

This is Scruffy & i watching the tube while lounging on the couch about 8-10 years ago! He loved to sit on my shoulder!

 

[adluginb]

Gonna get cold in Olahoma! I know not Canada cold but cold for us.

Well below freezing and even negatives coming. Record breakers for next 3 days.

Making sure “Jager” my GSD is comfortable coming into the garage.

 

[adluginb]

Jager’s main cat sleeping buddy. This is Lulu, she’s been Jager’s friend since we brought her home at just a little fur ball.

Letty was tuckered after a long weekend.




And glad to be at work again today.

I've been a bit occupied the last couple of weeks. Silas developed an injury on his tail from his frequent "happy tail". It's happened in the past and it's always been able to heal up ok. Well, this time it didn't go so well. Despite our best efforts to treat it and keep him fitted with a cone, his tail was so long that he could still get to it and during a brief few minutes of no supervision, he ended up chewing about an inch off the tip.

To the vet we went where they proceeded to amputate between 6-8 inches of his tail. You'd think a shortened tail would make it more difficult for him to get to it. Well, I thought that and I was wrong. He chewed out all of his stitches so back to vet I went yesterday to get him sewn back up. Now we are keeping him sedated as much as possible and we've rigged his cone with all sorts of crap to make it harder for him to access.

It's an expensive obsession. If he keeps it up, I'm going to have to change his name to Nubbins.

My girl had to have her beautiful tail docked for the same reason. I hope your pup heals up well.

Thank you, my friend. I didn't really consider it as an option, but I almost wish that I had asked them to remove more of it, lest it continue to be an issue going forward. We will see how it goes - hopefully it will be enough.

It’s so hard to keep them from their habits and what they just want to do.

My guy chewed/pulled his cast off 6x, 6 times back to the Vet.

I feel for you, and I pray for the best outcome for the both of you

I hope it works out for Silas. I’ve known a couple of working dogs that had to have it done and it worked out for them. Good luck with it.
