Since Birdie is generally skittish we were really worried about how she’d react to the fireworks. Fortunately, she wasn’t remotely phased by the earth shaking booms or blasts!
Oddly, my parents hunting dog (who is regularly around gun fire) is terrified of fireworks.
In our experience...
What a fun addition to the family! Looks like he’s fitting right in and making friends with everyone! I’ve always heard how smart poodles are and they certainly are regal looking.
Good luck in the ring!
Gah!! Snakes, and spiders, and bears!! Oh my!!
@MyBuddy - I love watching the swallows in our pastures. They are such incredible aviators. And I appreciate their mosquito eating abilities :).
Opie is almost 10 years old. This is his first bout with IVDD but our other doxie suffered from it several years ago and had to have surgery. As hard as it is to keep Opie confined, the memories of Beatrice’s paralysis, surgery, and long recovery help us stay diligent with the vets orders...
He’ll be crated for about 2 weeks and is taking rimadyl. We’re really hoping to avoid surgery but it sure is hard to keep him locked up. Birdie’s love and attention is definitely helping him to heal!!
One of our doxies is, unfortunately, suffering from IVDD and has to be crated almost constantly to limit his movement. He and Birdie are best friends and she’s been so sad and worried about her “big” bro.
Since I’m usually sitting in the spot right next to the crate, Birdie decided she’d take...
So very sweet!! We lost our blue Great Dane about 6 months ago and he left such a big hole in my heart. Seeing these pics of happy Leo puts a smile on my face though. What a great friend for Kobi!!
Before we had Birdie’s DNA results back, I did a lot of reading on speckled tongues. Turns out you’re right! There are about 30 other breeds that can have black or blue tongues. Never knew.
@Tropicalbri's - we named her Birdie because she’s from Texas and it seemed like a good Southern name...
Captured a shot of Birdie’s polka dot tongue! I think it’s neat and had to share :wacky::p:eek::wtf3:.
While I learned that quite a few breeds can have black tongues, Birdie’s likely comes from her 10.8% chow chow.
