The 7 day itch... (photo will enlarge now;-)

Actually it's been more like 14 days...Lester's itchy spot is still just as itchy as ever. There's been no change to it. If you touch or scratch it you get all kinds of butt tucks, trembling and camel nose action. I was treating it like a fungus by washing it with Malesob and putting dew poison ointment on it, but it never changed and like I said it's itchy as ever. So I asked Laura to ask the vets about it and she brought me home a tube of Panalog ointment. The boys are due for shots next week so if it's still bothering him I'll have the vet check it out.
We all know Lester can look like an Arab and a Quarter horse, but did you know he does impressions of Llamas too or maybe it's a camel?

I could just kiss those big horsie lips- actually I think I probably did after I took the shot, lol.


Less slept in his flannel/ fleece jammies last night, it was in the low 30's :-o! It's not much, but I think it helps him keep his own warmth to himself...on cold mornings I love to shove my cold hands under it:-)


Catalogue horses in blankets eat your hearts out :-p

I only got 2 out of the 5 correct- German Shepherd (37-74%)and Beagle (20-36%). Good job to Jennifer and Sientay for guessing the Chow Chow (10-19%)and Siberian Husky (less than 10%) and I don't think anyone would have ever guessed Great Pyreneese (10-19%) - LOL! I must say I'm disappointed I can no longer call her a BasShit though, it was so fitting!

especially ankles and hocks.








she loves to ram her toys on everyone

and sits weird...

She has strange fears...like watermelon and trash.















She's fast!

So anyone want to change their guesses before Limo's DNA results come in? Hopefully they will be in next week sometime!

That's the spot...

Lately Lester has been falling down-itchy on the inside of his hocks. Almost literally. I was currying him and hit the usual itchy spots and got some nose and a little leg action then I reached the inside of his hock and hit that "spot" you see on the left and he practically fell on me with glee. It was rather odd, I found the spot and it was a little scabby, but nothing I could figure out- like is it a bite, fungus, what? But every time I touched and scratched it he would "groom" the floor and he would tremble... Is this a case of it hurts so good?


Swabbed, sealed & delivered!

Well sent anyways:-) We still have to wait for Limo's DNA results to be returned. We already know that Limo is a rare breed in herself, but what other breeds of dogs created her? I have my guesses, but I'm very excited- my sis bought the DNA kit for my birthday last week. You can click on the pick to see the breeds that can be identified.
This photo was reenacted with a Q-tip

This is where Limo and I first met 2+ years ago- The ramp of the trailer I now work in. She was a sick, piti-full-of worms little pup. I'm not even sure how old she was when we found her. As you can see to the left she's a bit happier these days.
I was tempted to swab alittle in Peanut's mouth so she would come out with some greyhound in here;-)
So what are your breed guesses for Limo?
