I can't believe its been 6mths since I've updated the boys blog. Its not that we have been busy and can't find the time, its simply "we forgot"
So anyways things around here haven't really changed much, Stripe has had a few visits to the vet to check out this damm absess he has on his leg, were doing another 2 weeks of Antibiotics with the option of another 2 more weeks if i feel it needs it, if not we will look at a short anaesthetic and try to flush it out incase there is something in the wound we dont know about. My wonderful vet also gave stripe a health check and we are pleased to report he passed with flying colours, no signs of any Arthritis at all, his heart is fantastic, he will be 9 in April so this is just fantastic and such a testament to me as his owner :) he's spoilt lol no really i do what i can to prevent his old age eventually catching up with him, so he does get MSN and Gucosamine added to his meal and also Fish oil caps with Added Vit E.
Yesterday 29.12.11 we caught up with 6 other Danes and had a Dane Invasion as we called it at Shelly Beach we all had a fantastic time and all the danes got along brilliantly, Stripe was the eldest there closely followed by his harlequin friend Sparkles whom is 7, and then the rest were young wiper snappers hehe. I made stripe stop just over half way on our walk on the beach with the others as i didn't want him to push himself , so we had some "us" time and offlead time while no one was there and i managed to get some awesum pics of him too.Pics are below.
You know Stripe has always been the most laid back guy, with the best temprement ever, and i honestly thought that he may be "LESS" tolerant now that he's older, well you know what he hasn't changed one bit, he let the wiper snapper youngster danes lick his jowls, paw at him, and bounce all in his face and he didn't blink an eye at any of it. from now on I'm going to trust him like i should have done in the first place and not think he may change with his age. So proud of you Stripe MWAHHHHH
Anyways will def try and keep the blog more updated, we hope you all had an amazing christmas and have a safe new year won't you, make sure your dogs are safe and secure because of those morris fireworks

Hello...
ReplyDeleteYou know you are not the only one who has not blogged in ages. I just put a post out there today (trying to start out 2012 a little better). The last time we posted was in June 2011....that's just terrible. I didn't realize how old Stripe is...he's almost the same as Kasha. She turned 10 the beginning of January. She's doing ok, some scares here and there with her legs, we will have a complete vet checkup the beginniing of February. Otherwise, she sleeps lots and lots and still plays but for short bursts and still loves a good walkie. Hope all is well.
