Boo does not like his smell

The weather is getting warmer and the ticks are out in force. To keep the ticks off of Boo he had to get sprayed with a flea and tick spray. Boo really hates getting the spray on him mostly because it gives him a specific and identifiable scent. Dogs don't like to to be identified by their scent so that is why they roll in some of the most disgusting stuff because it hides their smell from other animals. Boo is going crazy running around the yard trying to roll off his scent in the grass.

Boo starts his modeling career

Boo gets his first shot at modeling. Amy was doing a project for her design class and it involved taking photos and cutting them into circular shapes and then putting a design on them with water and a wire whisk. Amy then had to fashion it into something you could wear and the item also had to be able to hold the wire whisk. As you can tell Amy made a cowboy hat that is holding the wire whisk. Amy needed pictures of the hat being worn so Boo was a very willing volunteer. I do believe that Boo is well on his way to a very lucrative modeling career.

Boo breaks a toe nail

Boo had some very long toe nails because he does not like getting his nails cut very much. Boo was running up to the door to come inside and he caught one of his long toe nails on the frame of the door and ripped it off. Boo had to go to the vet and get a shot of antibiotics and have his toe nails trimmed and, as you can see Boo needed to have a big bandage wrapped on his foot for several days with some medicine so his sore toe would get better. Now Boo is getting better at having his nails trimmed so we don't have to wear any more bandages on his foot.

Boo gets hurt

Boo was running down by the lake and there was a very

sharp stick from a broken off tree sticking out of the ground

and Boo ran into it. Boo received a three to four in gash in his

chest. Boo had to go to the vet hospital and get the hair shaved

and the wound cleaned. The vet pulled out part of the stick then

cleaned the wound and stapled it closed. Believe it or not Boo can

lick the wound and because of that he has to wear a Bite Not collar

so he does not bite out the staples or irritate the wound. Boo is out

of commission for running in the field for a couple of weeks. Boo is

not very happy about wearing the Bite Not collar.

Opening presents

Boo gets some very special biscuits from Scott.

Santa Claus remembers Boo and gives him one of his

favorite treats, a rawhide bone.

Christmas Boo/2008

Boo was really interested in opening gifts and

tried several times to help.

Treadmill

Sometimes Boo will run downstairs and sit on the treadmill. He just loves running on the treadmill and it is quite nice for us when the weather is bad and Boo is full of energy.
