Having fun with new playmate Wilson

Curly plays alone with Wilson as much as he plays with Lilly. Normally the dogs play in pairs, but with Wilson in the house, Curly, Lilly & Wilson all three play and are having a ball.

Curly has gained 10 lbs since 1/31/08

No more Kennel Cough! My skinny curly boy is eating Pedigree puppy food and he has gained 10 lbs in 17 days, which means this poor baby just didn't have access to food. The list of Curly tricks is increasing as the weeks go by. Now I know he can open the front glass door, lift the toilet seat up (I guess he was used to drinking from the toilet?? Yuck!) and he can open my bathroom door. I close it when my parrots are in the shower with me. Curly simply puts his paw under the door and brings the door to him and it's open. He comes in a lays in front of the shower. I love my Curly boy!

Tomorrow, neutering, eye surgery and teeth cleaning. Four weeks later, heart worm treatment.

Booger Nose

Oh lord, now we are experiencing the Boogers that come with Kennel Cough. I've got to clean his nose at least 3 times a day. I don't mind cleaning it at all, but poor old Curly boy doesn't like it. I'm sure his big ole nose is sore. Even though he appears sicker, he is acting like he has a little bit of energy today. He even joined Indy and Lula in their howls in response to the fire truck siren.

Poor baby

Curly is so sick with Kennel Cough. He looks so miserable and with him being so skinny, he just looks pityful. His poor big nose looks a bit bigger than it should. I try to keep his nose as block free as possible, but I'm sure it's no fun for me to touch his nose, even if it's with a warm moist paper towel. When I'm at home, he either follows me around the house or else he is just standing, like a statue. I'm sure he misses his original family, even though by his condition, it appears they didn't take care of him since he is all skin and bones, wasn't vaccinated or on heart worm prevention. Poor Curly. He has 7 more days of anti-biotics. I am looking forward to Curly recovering from Kennel Couch.
