beautiful Darling Precious..

The man I got Josy(yesterday) from said that there might be a little rot in Josy as she has a dew(due) whatever TOE.. my Toby has it also.

I wondered what it was on Toby as my first dog was Oliver & he did not have it.

do you know what I am referring to? are there other breeds who have that? I am just trying to determine her "components. The markings seem to be like Oliver... very german shepherd.

How long ago did you loose DP? Travelling is harder with dogs.. I try to take mine almost everywhere wiht me.. Everyone refers to my van as the Kennelvan!

Shana was my first Rott, Abby was my second and DP was my third. Precious was lost about 18 months ago.

Dewclaws are usually removed when they dock the tails. They are like thumbs and have no real purpose - and can get caught on things when get older.

My friend has a Dobie and her dog has serious Dews - very pronounced - usually they are very small.

About the travel..
I travel about 50% on business - can't quite take a Rott with me to business meetings. I also don't live in a conducive environment (Condo). When I had Precious - I had a large house with a large yard for her to run around.

I take Harm on all my errands in nice weather or cold weather. I can't let him get hot as he is a cold weather dog and can't stand the heat at all. He has to have air conditioning. LOL!

I wish there were more places one could take one's dog. We have not tried Pet-Smart yet. I am not sure how he would react.
