Otis is coming along just fine. He wrestles with his “brother” whose name is Tubby. Otis is about 30 pounds and Tubby is 60 and Otis will go nose to nose with Tubs UNTIL the food comes out and we have “food aggression”. Then Tubby can show his ugly side & Otis will acquiesce (Tubby ain't playing any more /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif)
Otis sleeps inside every night with us. I have been taking him to work on the days when the wifey works early. On days she works late, he sleeps in with her and he’s only home alone for a couple hours. So.. we have me at work, with dog, with TBN... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
His drive to retrieve is there and he’ll happily play fetch for a while… then he’ll decide enough & lay down with the ball and just chew on it, rather than bringing it back for me to throw again.
I don’t know how clearly the pics will show it, but his eyes look like they have eyeliner around them. His lips also have that shadow, as though he’s got a chocolate milk moustache. His tongue is a light lavender color (??).
Was at Petsmart other day about new food & the girl said I need to be careful feeding him such & such… then I mentioned to her he was a parvo survivor & could probably stomach anything… she laughed & said I was probably right.
I sure hope nothing happens to him, cause the wifey treats him even better than she did Wiggles & Daisy. (I suppose because she “picked” him, rather than him being abandonded out our way).
All these pics but the first one, were taken yesterday (4/22/04)
I’ll post an older one of him first as a “before”
