Nala turns 5 years old today!
Happy holidays from Simba, Macho and Nala

Did you know the Charleston Apple Store is dog friendly?
I didn't until today when one of the employees invited the dogs and I in while we were standing outside waiting.
The dogs had a good time in there and were very well behaved even though it was really crowded in the store.
I saw the 27" iMac and played with it a bit. Want.
Yay, another happy story from one of my former foster dogs, Mel.
Dear friends at Wild Heir, It has been a year now since we adopted Melody from your group, and wanted to let you know we are doing great!! She has really come out of her shyness for the most part, and is a joy to our family!! Enclosed are pictures, one at Sullivan's island, on the beach, which she loves, and the other with my son's dog, Izzie. They are best friends, love to wrestle and play tug of war as you can see. We live in VA, but out son lives in Charleston, so we were there to visit last week. I wish you could see her in person, you would be so proud, as we are!! Thanks for taking care of labs like Mel, and providing a place for families like ours to find a wonderful dog. Keep up the good work!
Nala's always had problems with gooey, yeasty ears and ear infections that flare up from time to time, but the past couple of weeks her ears have been particularly gooey. They're starting to clear up after a good flushing at the vet last week and treatment with Zymox.
A lot of things can cause chronic yeast infections in dogs and Nala has several of those working against her (loves water, floppy ears and slightly narrower ear canals than normal). They can also often a symptom of a food allergy or sensitivity, so to cover that possibility Nala's being switched to Nature's Logic Lamb for a while. It's still lamb (she's on California Natural Lamb & Rice now), but switches the carbohydrate component to millet. We'll see how she does on that for a little while. Simba will stay on the CN L&R, because he's still doing fine on it and there's no reason to switch him.
Today was the Coastal SC Lab Retriever Club's annual fall oyster roast. While everybody else was complaining about the weather, I was with a bunch of fellow Lab owners having a great time watching the dogs run and chase each other around, and leaping into the pond to chase after bumpers.
Wish I had remembered to bring my camera with me.
Nala's starting to show a little bit of grey in her muzzle these days.
