Beau / Roger / whoever he is is doing ok today.  🙂  I feel bad for the poor guy because he just gets all over me because he wants to be petted, but there is literally no spot on his sad little body aside from his head, basically, that isn't covered in bumps and open sores.  🙁

He's on antibiotics for that so I'm sure he'll be better soon, but I've tried not to touch him a super lot.  I do wash my hands a ton, but I don't want to inadvertently get anything in his sores that would hurt him or delay his healing.

On a related note:  Since about yesterday afternoon he's barely made a sound.  I don't think that he's normally a talky doggie - I think he was literally begging for help before.  🙁  Those fleas were making him miserable.  Now that his meds have fully kicked in he's able to sit still and he only whines when we wants to go outside (either he hasn't realized that he can go out when he wants, or he is scared to go alone.  I don't know which, but he'll do it if I go with him.)

So, despite the crappy condition of his skin he seems to be feeling much better today.  He still looks pitiful, but hopefully not for long.  🙂

Well, it looks like I've got a Beau / Roger souvenir.

Well, it looks like I've got a Beau / Roger souvenir. He was chewing a toy and lost a tooth. He even still squats to pee, which is adorable.

Ah, the joys of having a puppy in the house. 🙂

I was cleaning out my purse last night and...

I was cleaning out my purse last night and found the last of Scooter's staples in there.  Along with his appointment cards and medication.  Now it's all sitting here on my desk.  Looking at me, looking at it.  I don't care if it's weird, but I might put his staples back in.  I'm not done having him close to me yet.  🙁

Beau / Roger is doing ok.  His flea meds seem to be kicking in.  He met Faith, who I thought was going to box him to death (I swear that dog is part kangaroo).  Every time he got near her (or even when she got near him), she had to throw them paws.  LMAO  He's been loose with Nappy for hours because Nappy is chill like that, but I'm not going to leave him unsupervised with Faith and her old crazy self yet.

In other news he has learned how to use the doggie door.  That was pretty hilarious.  He seemed to think he needed to kick it open before walking through, so he would slam it with his front feet and then try to run through before it shut.  LMAO  Last time I saw him go out he jumped so hard to get through that I thought he was gonna flip ass over head.  Babies are so doofy.  😃  But he'll get it all figured out soon.

Anyway.  I haven't eaten all day, so that's on my list of things to do.  If it's not crazy wet outside (I have no idea what it's like because I napped), then I might try to take my new buddy outside to get some nice pics.  We'll see.  🙂

We're FINALLY home.

We're FINALLY home.  I feel like it's been a long day and it's not even quite noon as I start to write this.  Wow.

I met Tracy at Saks High School at 8 this morning to see if we could find Beaumont Roger Bat Ears, I.  He wasn't there and I was worried that he would be a no-show since she couldn't find him yesterday to tell him that he had an appointment today.  Thankfully, he must have gotten the message somehow because we weren't out there long when he came bounding up.  Phew!

So, I gave him a can of wet food, snapped a leash on him, and then we helped him into the car and made our way to the vet.  It was a long trip and a long wait, but he was pretty good for all of it.  We had no problems with riding in the car, and at the vet he was friendly and curious, but he mostly couldn't do anything but chew himself and scratch.  🙁  When we got there the office wasn't super full, but when it started getting packed he hid under my chair.  LOL

He was great for his exam and when we got home I washed him, also.  He didn't like it, but he let me do it without any issue.  I washed a TON of fleas off of him, so he should be feeling much more comfortable now.  Honestly, I have never seen so many fleas on one animal before.  Between his bath and his Nexgard, he should be feeling much better in the next few days.  I am also going to de-worm him.  I'm sure he's full of tapes, if not every other kind of worm, as well.

Anyway.  That's the update for now.  He's crated for now (for his protection and so he can rest - Faith can be pretty wily sometimes, so I want the introduction to go well).  He didn't like it at first, but he's already quiet and passed out.  I'm telling you, honest to goodness, the kid didn't stop moving once since I picked him up.  His skin was driving him crazy.  He definitely needs a nap.  We'll hang out and play later, for sure.  🙂

No mange! He's 32 lbs and 5 months old.

No mange! He's 32 lbs and 5 months old. We're getting him some Nexgard for fleas, and he's got antibiotics for the pustules on his skin. About to check out and head home!

Shadow says he thinks of Rosewood every time he looks at his face. Thinking about calling him Beaumont - Beau for short. 🙂

Frog legs and ears for days.

Frog legs and ears for days. He's got things to say, too. I love talky dogs.

Handsome. Can't wait to see him well.

I told the vet that he is Roger. It doesn't have to stick. LOL Suggestions?
