Milo Montage

Some photos of Milo (and friends) out and about over the last couple of weeks.

At the park. 

In the back yard

Nice ears! 

2 collies who need attention.  Now. 

Milo and Mao napping. 

Nice sky at the park.  A little weak in the hind end.  

Leo tastes like chicken! 

Nice sun at the park.

Milo visited with students and one of them had lovely BLUE nails.   He enjoyed himself immensely and took his first ride in an elevator.  Head tilt at the "ding!" sound.   Handled it like a pro. 

Just touch me! 

Vicious news circle?

14 March 2014

Milo is in the news and you can read it here.

The circle is that the news article links up to this blog in some places - so don't get dizzy!

SNIFF!!

Milo came home from a particularly busy day at the dog park smelling like..... perfume!

He made many new female friends and (apparently) received lots of hugs.

Good dog!

Snowpocalypse

26 February 2014

Last week was a wild one.  We got snowed in.

The driveway from inside the garage! 

Snow so deep that even the intrepid Leo doesn't jump into it!

 In addition to a major snow "event", our little pal Zoey - and sometimes houseguest - got out of her yard in St. Paul when some workers left the gate open.  Zoey's more than 24 hour adventure was a pretty stressful for a lot of her people.

Zoey with lots of collie friends on a HOT day last summer.


Zoey was FOUND and is safe at home with a new GPS collar!!

Milo got mail!

27 February 2014

This week there was a large package at the front door addressed to Milo.  Inside was a very festive and colorful crate mat and matching bag - along with a very nice donation check for collie rescue.

What a lovely surprise!    Thank you Nancy!  We are so sorry that the bad weather prevented us from getting together over the weekend.  Hopefully there will be another opportunity to try it again soon.

More on our weekend adventures very soon.

We received some good news today! Milo's blood work is normal for the very first time - the low end of normal but we'll take it! Dr. Choi at the U of MN is cautiously optimistic that things will continue to improve more fully into the normal zone. She is prescribing another round of herbs that are less potent than the last batch, but will add some herbs to help his back issues. Yay! 

When we arrived at our appointment today, both the veterinary student  - same one as last week - and Dr. Choi remarked that he was much less "sloped" in his posture.  He had more acupuncture today as well for his back.   Milo has been starting to trot with the jaunty bounce that makes those gorgeous tipped ears bob with each step.  I love it!  

Cautiously optimistic is due to fact that last time Milo had a break from the herbs his CBC took a significant step backwards with regard to platelets and monocytes - so we will have to keep an eye on that.   

I'm quite relieved!

Milo at his appointment with Dr. Choi.  She is demonstrating to the veterinary student some diagnostic points in Oriental Medicine.  You can see how weak his back was before the acupuncture.
