Quinn went from bad to worse. He started hanging out in 18 F weather instead of being inside in the warm--very unlike him. He was hiding behind bushes in the backyard lying in the snow. He would start shaking (inside) uncontrollably. His ears were flat against his head all the time. He also started hiding...

We know it was the right choice to make, but it was really hard even though we made it quickly. I came home today after a 13 hour work day and the other two came out to greet me. It was nice, but I REALLY missed the crazy wiggles that Quinn used to give me. He would twirl when I got home so happy to...

I just got around to moving the photos off my camera. Even though it was painful, I took a few shots of Quinn on his last night. He was so very tired at the end. I will miss you my dear sweet Quinn. Thanks for your companionship and great memories. You loved your agility, snuggles, nibble, and your people...

Seneca and Fremont have a new little pal--Felix. Felix is a American Eskimo Blue Heeler cross. Seneca wants to play, and Fremont is acting jealous. Our daughter was begging for the little guy (no worries, we are VERY dog savvy people) but burst out crying this evening just before bed. It seemed like...

I wish I had had the forsight to do this with Quinn and Seneca, but I'm going to try and take a picture a day of little Felix. I'll likely start a flickr stream of the photos (I'll post the URL on dog.com when I have it set up) and post a picture every day that I can. Anyway, here is Day...

The CCC is the colour co-ordinated crew. I don't think that I even coined it to begin with--it was long ago on the old board. In any case, it started with my dear sweet Quinn (who passed with Lymphoma in December), Seneca, and Fremont. As of Friday, Felix joined the crew and filled it back out to...

[quote user="fitzfids"] Gooood GAWD he is CUTE!!!!!!!!!!! HOW old????? [/quote] Well, we were told 8 weeks last Friday, but on Monday our Vet said..."He looks 6 weeks old or so to me". So, somewhere between 7 and 9 weeks at this point.

He was 3.5 lbs on Monday and I just weighed him and he is 3.8 lbs. [quote user="nymaureen"] Wondering how much Felix weighs at this point. We were never sure how old our latest was, when we got him, so just wanting to compare. He is cattle dog and possibly jack russel mix. [/quote]

And more dexterous. He is leaping and running without falling over now.[quote user="kaluha"] They grow up so fast... You can see the difference, in those first photos he was so small and look at him now! He really is a beautiful little boy... [/quote]

Our Quinnie, bless his little soul, had terrible allergies. Bad enough that his heart enlarged and he had a murmur. We ended up moving him to an all fish kibble diet and our vet got us allergy shots which which I administered SubQ once a month. Plus he was on a mild steroid by mouth. He did much better...
