Duke and Boomer

[Zhucca]

Been awhile since I posted any photos. Please ignore the fat conditions of the black seal Boomer. He got diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia and hasn't had the exercise he usually gets. As a result, as an already chubby dog, he got fatter. (my friend doesn't realize he needs to cut his food back)

Anyways, took them to a park close to my house and snapped a couple pics.

All the debris still in the trees from the flood.

Some trick practice

That's it. Thanks for looking!

Awwww, Duke is so adorable!! I love the picture of him looking at you from the water.

By the by, how are his food issues?

Thanks PW!

His allergies are not solved, at all. I did switch to a protein he had never had before (first bison, then rabbit) while he was still on the raw diet but it wasn't getting any better. The raw was burning a huge hole in my pocket and since it didn't appear to do any better than the kibble I ended up putting him back on Natural Balance, bison and sweet potato. He's still on steroids, 1 pill every day before bed. It's a rather piddly dose but it sucks regardless. I think the big problem is that people still feed him scraps. He goes to a plumbing shop where there's 25 guys there in the morning. Eating breakfast. Sharing with the dogs. So it's a big control issue right now, not sure where I can go from here. I could stop bringing him there, but he would be sad. I've told pretty much everyone there not to give him scraps, but they don't listen.

I think I might fork out the money for allergy testing so maybe allergy shots will be an option.


Thanks Beanie! The cue for that is "Stick 'em up!" I've been working on a smoother transition from that and his play dead trick.

It's so hard to keep them limited when they interact with so many people like that!
