Thank you, Julie, I've been trying for almost three years to get a picture of him! Usually you just see a black silhouette with no details!

Merrysea: No offense but Archie told me thru the ESP we have that he wants to come here and stay awhile, I love him he is so cute. What kind is he? And Casper boy my white boxer would love to pay with him .

Oh Tabby I am so so happy about Kendall. I am so pleased to read how he is getting better daily. I know about rescue's my latest white boxer is a rescue that we drove 900 miles round trip to get and it was worth every mile and evey minute. My 2 human fur kitty babies are also rescue's.

Merry, Archie is adorable! And of course having had quite a number of black labs and a black cat.. yes.. so hard. With the labs, at least in the days of black and white show photos (show photos were still B&W long after most people took color family pics) they would over expose a bit and use a strobe, even during the day. Of course they had good cameras, usually Hassleblad box cams. I'm sure it is all digital now.

Thanks Julie, Regee and Sea! Archie is a Scottish Terrier, but I don't give him the Scottie cut because I like him all shaggy! Also, his hair, while it has finally starting growing, isn't long yet, so you can still see his legs. He doesn't look like most Scotties.

Great picture of Archie, he looks like he's sitting there thinking about the treats he'll get for being such a good boy and sitting still for his picture.

we are going to bathe kendall today if the weather warms up. he hasn't had a bath since the day we got him. the vet said we could bathe him if we dry him well with a low-heat hair dryer, but right now, it's not even 50 degrees out and overcast and damp. i don't want to make him sicker. and he looks pretty good, although i wish he'd let us clean his crusty nose a little more thoroughly! there is a reason God didn't make dogs with green noses; it just isn't very cute! i am having a little trouble getting his last pills of the day down him. he really is done with eating about 8:00 p.m., but needs a couple of pills at 10:00- 11:00 p.m. because they are 3 times a day and should not be closer than 7 hours. last night i put his favorite foods together with the crushed pills and the food sat all night. so he is probably a little behind now... i got him to take his first doses this morning at 6:45. ugh,i hate getting up that early on a sunday! i still have to give him his zithro, which is a thick liquid and supposedly tastes and smells like cherries. his nose is too stuffed up to smell it and he isn't crazy about the taste. most of it went on my fingers yesterday and at 12 dollars a shot, i ran to the kitchen and had my daughter get out some cream cheese and i smeared my fingers on it! at least he ate the cream cheese. i just can't imagine how happy and surprised he'll be when food tastes like food and not medication!

Tabby, big suggestion: Introduce him to the hair dryer before you get him all wet and find out that it is going to freak the bejabbers out of him. He doesn't need that, he needs his energy all focused on getting well.

we used the hair dryer the first time we washed him and he did okay. we decided against the bath today, though. it's just too cold. he has been cleaning himself pretty well, so we'll wait for a better, warmer day.

the vet just called and we are not going to refill the zithro at this time. kendall's doing pretty well and only coughs a couple of times during the day; mostly there is a big coughing fit when he first gets up in the morning, and then just a couple of less dramatic coughs during the day. he still has the nasal discharge but nothing like it was the couple of weeks. his nose has some black showing through the green crust now! the vet told me i can give his pills closer together and that i can give the one where he has to take 2 of them three times a day as 3 of them twice a day. that makes me happy, since i can't get anything down him in the evenings or during the night. he goes from 4:00 p.m. til morning not hungry even for the expensive stuff. we are going to hold off on neutering him for at least 6 more weeks. the vet said there will be no problem for him to get an extension for as long as we need to, since he does all the informational seminars for the shelter and knows all of the employees well. he said the dog can 'shed' the virus for a month after he is completely well, and kendall's not completely well yet. since he is an indoor dog, we have locked backyard gates, and he is on a leash at all other times, i don't think he'll be out making babies before he can be neutered. he won't even eat in front of me, i doubt he'd have sex in front of me while on a leash!

LOL Tabby, Kendall sounds like such a hoot!!! Speaking of hoots, Sandy has found a new perching place.. She's done this twice now. She is turning into a cat... Now, let me tell you, our couch is not against a wall in our living room, it's in the middle. Here's a couple pics. She chose to climb up behind me this afternoon, and we had the camera handy!!

well, we bathed kendall and he looks so darn cute! he and dd got into her shower/tub together. she wore her swimsuit. he wore his, too, come to think of it. anyway, he stood like such a good boy for both the shampooing and conditioning. he didn't want us to use the hairdryer, even if it doesn't scare him, so we fired up the gas fireplace and dried him super-well with towels and he is lying near the fireplace now and just happy as a clam. a clean clam.
