Sweet Paradise

Bruce loved his beanbag when he was three months old.

And he loves his beanbag at 9 months old.

America's Next Top (Dog) Model

Anyone looking for a dog that models baby bibs?  Look how well he poses.

This one looks like a Glamour Shot!

I'm Hungry!

I can't imagine why Bruce got whipworms.  It's not like he eats random objects.

Athough he does really enjoy eating paper products...

 

And outside nothing is off limits, especially the poison ivy and mulch...

 

Oh and shoes must be delicious, because many of them are missing...

So it really came as no surprise when I heard a loud CRUNCH CRUNCH coming from downstairs. 

Bruce had grabbed my cell phone off the sofa and decided it looked tasty. 

 But nothing a little electrical tape couldn't mend.

Canine Illness

Last Saturday Mr. Bruce woke up with the runs.  After an expensive vet visit about 4 months ago we decided to let this one run its course.  For five days Bruce was very lethargic. 

We started to really like the new Bruce. 

But each night the diarrhea would hit and he was awake about every two hours barking to go out. 

That's when we gave in and took him to the vet. 

Diagnosis: WHIPWORMS

He could have gotten this months ago by ingesting contaminated water or food that had whipworm eggs in it.  Once the eggs hatch in the intestines, you see signs such as diarrhea, lethargy, etc.  Luckily it can't be passed on to humans and he felt better immediately after starting the medicine. 

He's back to his old self now...lucky us :)
