And here she is a few weeks ago in the back seat.

Downey looks like a total love bunny! What is that classic car she's in? They don't upholster seats like that anymore.

Its a 69 Caprice Classic, the pleather is great with the dog hair!

Piper met the younger sister she never knew about today....really, they're sisters....same mom and dad.

her name is Maggie and she's five months old.



I have better pictures, but I'm doling them out. wouldn't want anyone to OD on cuteness.

Like that photo itself isn't OD-worthy.

This sounds like it could be a tabloid story:
PIPER MEETS SIS SHE NEVER KNEW SHE HAD!

Or a country song:
Oh what a lucky day when I found my sister
I'd never knowed her so I'd never missed her . . .
Ow ooo

So Scout managed to scare the crap out of me on Saturday. I took him to the vet that morning for his latest round of puppy shots. Got home and did some stuff in the yard for about 30 minutes while he ran around and played. We went inside and after a little while I noticed that his face looked weird--kind of puffy. A few minutes later, his face was so swollen that he could barely open his eyes.

Completely freaked out, I called the vet. Told me to give him half a Benadryl and get over there immediately. At the vet's she gave him a steroid shot. She said that it might seem logical to think that one of the shots caused the reaction but he could also have been stung by a bee while we were in the yard. She told me to continue with the Benadryl every 6-8 hours for 2 days.

Took him back home and the swelling went down quite a bit. He was exhausted and slept all afternoon. After a second Benadryl, he looked normal again. By Sunday he was back to being his bouncy self.

No way would I post a pic of that puffy face. Here he is Saturday night at bedtime.



Dazed and confused maybe, but no longer looking like a pufferfish.
I guess every puppy has to give you a scary episode at some point. Thanks, Scout, I have now officially had mine.

Awwww, Who Princess he's sooooo cute!!! Yeah, it's required that they do that...we haven't had a scare yet with Pearl, other than her having worms...but I'm sure it's coming...

more cuteness with Piper and little sister Maggie...



whoprincess - the exact same thing happened with shelby...I was at work at Codie brought shelby by on her way to the vet....I took one look at that little puffy puppy face and couldn't help but chuckle...I'm still hearing about my insensitivity, 20 years later.

Scout hasn't had his lepto yet. The only one that was different this time was rabies. I'm still kinda leaning toward something outside stung him.

rabies vaccines are very commonly reactive in dogs...less so with the other vaccines, Lymes, distemper, Lepto, Parvo, Bordatella, etc.

Did your vet ask you to watch for any sort of vaccine reaction after the shots were given?

No, but she wasn't my regular vet, one of the others from the clinic. I said something to her about how my other puppies have had a tough time with the rabies shot. Not allergic reactions, just seemed kinda worn out for a couple of days. The vet seemed surprised.

I've got to make sure that I just see my regular vet from now on. He's great.

can't trust your fur baby to anyone else!

Don't worry, he's back to his regular jumping bean self. Can't wait to get that little guy into obedience and agility. He's a jumping fool, as we'd say in Texas.

Hello, i just wanted to share something that some of you already know. Some of you may not know this, but back in 2006 when Trix (my last dalmation) was around, i was told she had cancer. Deep magazine had a contest, name the pets with there owners and send a picture of your pet as well. Not sure how much time she had left, i sent a picture and low and behold she was in the Deep Summer/Fall 2006, along with other peoples pets. I still get tears when i look at this photo and how much it meant to me back then...

anyways here is the picture taken from the Deep magazine...
