Friday, January 20, 2012

Today was a lovely sunny, hot day, with temperatures in the upper 80's, unlike back home in Massachusetts.
Shane had a Doctor's appointment today with his Florida doctor, Dixie Brown. She is very good and really seems to like working with Shane, and he is quite taken with her and her Vet Tec, Erica. Erica had cookies in her pocket and Shane was ready to go home with her because of them. Shane came up very lame two days ago after chasing a neighbor's Dashund out of his yard. When I called him back, he turned around to come back and I realized that he was completely lame. I am guessing that he sprained something. Because he is still on Prednisone, he can't take any pain killers, so he has to tough it out for the next 6 days until he is through with the Prednisone. He seems to be in good spirits. We took him out to lunch with us and then off the the Animal Control Office in Fort Myers to get him a Florida Dog Tag. In order to use the dog park here, he has to have a dog license. I personally think that it is a good idea since we are only part time residents, if he ever got separated from us, it would really help in getting him back. One of the requirements for the tag is a microchip, which he has, and now it is registered with the county, which is a really good thing. While we we were at the animal control office, everyone working there came out to see him and take pictures. They had never seen a Shiloh Shepherd before. He is currently conked out on the living room floor. It was a very busy day for Shane.
