my gentle HONEYBUN--she battled kennel cough from the day she came home.
my doxies have always been my best and most loving companions. i have had them since being a child. they are the most silly, playful, energetic, pushy, inquisitive, and just plain all-around hooby-doobies on the planet.
they can also be extremely aggressive and fearless as i experienced many years ago with my BooBoo on a hunting trip in new mexico shooting rabbits. short legs or not she would give chase and once caught a large rabbit and that was the end of that rabbits time. it was an amazing experience-nature at its most raw. many years later, BooBoo went lame in the back legs and i built her a little wheel chair and massaged her back legs nightly and one day bout 2 months later she slittered out of the chair and walked--a bit funny--but continued to walk her funny walk till the day she left us. since then i have built wheel chairs for a large 80 pound basset hound--Sir Luke Skywalker-Champion and for my present DeeDee. You do what you have to do for your babes.
