New collars....

The afternoon was spent playing with new toys, getting dried duck treats and fussing about their new collars... 


Just a normal kind of day, ya know?... <EG>...

Even DeNiro got into a tug of war over a duck treat! ... The little fart!



This is the sad side of demodex - the chaos it not only creates on the skin, but the layers beneath it... And the swollen feet as the toes themselves swell up and become painful to walk on... 




Demo pups feel extremely hot all the time but they get cold easily... And the smell?... Well, once you've smelled it, you never forget it...  



And for as miserable as these pups must feel, they were happy with the little things today... Not barkers, they were very content to be with each other and "regenerate their batteries"...They have been doing a lot of sleeping today, followed by food and water, a bit of playing gently with each other and napping all over again...


Watching them today and interacting with them, I just can't believe someone dumped these five pups in an overnight box at a shelter... This kind of health issue didn't occur overnight and will take just as long to correct, so why not take them to a vet and get them treated????
