My initial goal was to get a pic of him standing so his shaved legs could be seen.
His feet are NOT shaved. So from the "top of his socks" to his thigh is shaved and it frankly looks like he's wearing fur boots on his feet. I was going to put his "tattoo" on there but he was pretty tired yesterday and didn't do much other than lay around.
I think you all get the drift of his opinion of parvo though with the first two tattooed shots.
These were taken 12/15 hours ago.

Glad to hear that he is home. Please remember that he is still a puppy and that if you start to spoil him with table scraps now, you will have a hard time getting him to eat dog food later on. It is best that his diet be consistent and healthy. As much as you might want to believe that as long as he is eating something, that it is better than nothing being eaten, you are wrong. It is best that he eat the proper meal as prescribed by the veterinarian so he get the proper nourishment and his intestines continue to heal. I know because I was tempted once to do the same thing. A constant change of food type causes diarrhea in puppies, and that is not good. Given the right encouragement he will eat his puppy food and grow without problems. Keep those pictures comming....

Thank you all... and Junkman... your post was very timely as I had the wife on phone as I was reading it, so I read it to her.
Guess who was on the floor, whimpering about wanting a doughnut? Seems even though he's never had a cream filled doughnut and never SEEN one, he knows he wants whatever is in that box on the countertop.
The wife was asking if she should..and I read your post to her. I think your logic makes emminent sense.
Back to his rice/cottage cheese with a bit of chicken pot pie pieces tossed in for more flavor.
Maybe we'll graduate him to a handful of puppy chow over the weekend.
Yesterday, he was still very tired, so he was quiet as a mouse when we got him home. The wife had him laying on her chest on the couch. She started to giggle... she said "I'm sure glad I'm cuddling with him "now" while he's ill and staying so calm...because when he's better and full of energy and not so interested in behaving like a good dog is when YOU get to have him"

I would not recommend that you use Puppy Chow, but rather see him eat something like Eukanuba for Puppies, or Science Diet Puppy. The Purina Puppy Chow is sprayed with animal fat and a lot of the calories in the product are a result of that fat. There are other good foods out there such as Wellness, Back to Basics, Neutro, Canadia, etc. that will be much better in the long run. I have raised my last litter of Mini Dachshunds on Canadia and just soak it in warm water till they started to get teeth. My last pup has been crunching it dry since she was 8 weeks old.
I equate dog food quality to "would you want to eat 2 pounds of chuck steak or a 1/2 pound sirloin fillet? They both have the same calories and both will leave you filled, but one will taste better and the slight extra cost will be worth the difference.
I would write more, but it is 11:17 and I have to make it to the CT TBN Meeting for noon..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
