I'm a Dog not a Sheep

How to Clean Grouchy Puppy Eyes in 5 Easy Steps

Dogs get goop in their eyes just like people. Not the Gwyneth Paltrow-kind of GOOP but the cute sleepy crispy bits you find in a little baby's eye after a nap.

It's Senior Dog Wellness Month and we're sharing our secrets on how to keep a senior dog looking and feeling her best.

Follow these simple steps and you can be sure to safely remove goop from a dog or grouchy puppy..

Mama knows best applies to dogs and people

Photo Time for Puppy

Guess who is getting her photo taken tomorrow...yep, by a professional (meaning not the female for a change). It should be interesting to see if he can find my good side. BOL

Sadly, this go-see appointment for this dog model means PL insisted on bathing me. Grr. After a warm sudsy five minutes he used a towel my female warmed up in the dryer. Hey it's cold in San Francisco during July!

Take Your Dog to Work Day June 24

Not Pet Appreciation Day

Dog Presses Pause. Grrr getting my paw hair trimmed is torture. Dogs in the wild don't do this, why should I? Last week was the many Pet Appreciation events and I managed to get out of being bathed. However it is Monday, and a new week. I've tried to persuade PL that longer slightly shaggy hair is very retro right now, a la Carol Brady and the Brady Bunch family. He isn't buying it.

Vet Visit Part 2: Smell My Feet

Monday means my follow up visit to the vet specialist. Last time she pulled hair from my ears and shaved parts of my dog fur off! Grr but I forgive. We return to see how I'm doing on my Atopica and Ketaconazole. Maybe she will suggest I stop? Not sure but I'll let you know.

This weekend my female told me she is going to bathe me, so I smell nice for the vet. Boo. Though as you can see from this first photo, it is probably a good idea. Dr Reinke gets all up close and personal with her examination. BOL - that tickled!

Genuine Dog Fur

Call me a green dog or an eco-friendly pup, but what you see here is a fresh pile of stinky somewhat clean genuine German Shepherd-Husky fur. I made it myself, like those holes in the garden.

Hot Spots Suck

Dog hot spots must be like the human hang nail.

Something that starts out small, and insignificant, then you touch it, worry at it, and voila! Your nothing, in the span of about 10 minutes is a big stinky something, that a vet is taking an electric razor to. Grrrr.

The first photo is the homemade bandage treatment PL gave me after finding the clump of hair hid an infected spot on my tail.

They used so much hydrogen peroxide to foam away the gunk. Do you like the ouchless treatment they wrapped it up with? Not too bad actually.
