Update!!

In my previous post I explained how we ended up with Jack. We named him Jack after Jack Sparrow because he has a strange little beard. Anyway we call Jack our red headed step child out of love, but I think in his mind he thinks he has never been anywhere else. He has made himself right at home. He loves to play and run around, and he is getting along with the other dogs really well. Hunter & Abbie are doing great and have adjusted to the new house really well. Rocko decided that he did not like walking on tile floor. He would be walking along perfectly fine, and then as soon as he hit the tile he would lock up and start to shake and whimper. So we took him to the Dr Scott (our vet) and he put Rocko on puppy prozac. Here's a before and after picture.

Before

After

I'm just kidding :) He's not comatose. He is actually doing really well. And I think he is happier because he doesn't get all freaked out over every little thing. Too bad prozac doesn't cure bad dog syndrome, because if it did, the couch wouldn't look like this.......


Georgia is having a few problems too. Her problem is that she's too happy. Georgia always hit her tail on everything because she get's so happy and excited. We always thought she didn't have any feeling in it. She would hit it hard sometimes, and it would start bleeding. It got bad enough that we took her to the vet. Dr. Scott said that she has "Happy Tail". He said that in most cases, they have to remove the tail. They wrapped up her tail with lots of padding. The only problem is that her tail is so fast that the wrap never lasts more than a few hours. We have tried everything to keep it on there, but no luck. So we are going to have her tail removed :(

This last picture I couldn't resist putting up. This is what Hunter looked like when she was napping today.
