Keller's Korner 2

At the behest of a few friends and family members that want to see updates of Keller, I have decided to post a before and after set of photos. Here in the first photo he is about six weeks old and sick with distemper. It was taken the first day I brought him home and you can see that he is napping, as he was postictal - meaning he had just had a seizure and was recovering from it. (I apologize for any inability to see him, as my camera has no flash and he's a black dog. I did my best, I promise!)

This second shot was taken back in late September, Drover's feet are bandaged - if you look closely on the left side you can see his purple bandage some - due to my idiot roommate taking him for a hike that was waaaaaay too long and his feet were raw from it. Keller is dutifully playing the best friend and comforting him while still managing to rock that bandana. Awwwwww. 

Here he is at the age of five months, losing baby teeth, begging for attention and being the all around pain that all puppies are, yet we all love them for being so. He is, in fact, doing so well that next month he's scheduled to be neutered. Sorry, buddy.

I'd like to thank my coworkers for all the help and support they've given me while helping to raise this little guy and keep him healthy. Though he doesn't know it, I'd also like to thank Drover for assisting in teaching appropriate play and leading by example in obedience class - even if the only command Keller knows is "sit" no matter how hard we try to teach him others. And last, but certainly not least, I'd like to thank Chris for all the help, support, and dog park trips he's taken the boys on while I'm on shift at work. I don't know what I'd do without you guys!
