OK it did work.

The pictures below have been why I have had not had time to post lately. At least part of the reason. Allow me to introduce the latest member of the Trawick Clan - Meeko. When we got him, he had fleas and dread locks. Here is his story: We bought him from the Animal shelter in Benton Harbor MI, where they told us he was a Shi Tzu and about a year old. When I called the co. his chip is registered with they gave me the name of the Pound he originated at in Chicago, IL. Hmmmmm. We went to the Dr yesterday to be totally blown away by the info he gave us. The dog is about 3 1/2 old. So we are guestimating about the same age as Abigail. He is not a Shi Tzu but a Lhasa Apso. And he said judging by the shoulder width and the spacing in the eyes as well as the paw coloration a full breed. Hmmmmmmm The funny part about the whole Dr. visit is the fact that he is an ear dog. Chronic infections and inflammation. This dog is so our family. He has been to the groomer, where we will keep him going regularly, because I DO NOT like all that hair and the vet. Over all he's in great shape with the exception to the 5 lbs he's over weight. We are going to work on this because he will not walk up and down the steps, he has to be carried. The cat and him get along great. The best part is how tolerant he is of the children. We could not have asked for a better dog.
