Zebra Nose

We have two dogs. Max and Kendal (hence the url of my blog). In looking back at the archives of this blog, I realize that I haven't posted many pictures of them - in fact only one of Max. So here you go...

Kendal in our living room. She is also known as 'pretty girl' and 'damaged dog' because she limps from Lyme Disease and tends not to use one of her back paws. Right now she is losing what seems to be ALL of her hair. I vaccuum one night and the next morning there are clumps of her hair all over the place - and that is after a good brushing!

Max as a scruffy boy. Max has a lot of nicknames, jerky boy, Sparky, Sparky the wonderdog, Pig, Piggy. But the newest one is Scruff McGruff. We won't be able to call him that for much longer as he is getting a haircut this weekend. This picture is Max when his scruffiness was under control. I will take a before and after shot of him on Saturday as he goes 'under the knife.'

The reason for and name of this post is because of Kendal. On Memorial Day, Kendal was playing with the dogs next door through our fence. They have a way of communicating (barking) that they enjoy, but us humans get annoyed of very quickly. Well, Kendal put her snout though a broken slat in the back fence gate and scraped the hell out of her nose. She has scratched here nose before but never this badly. It was bleeding - which never happened before. A trip to the Boston Road ER and $170.00 later we are told it was just a scratch but to give her the antibiotics anyway. Here is a picture of her healing nose. It heals white and will turn back to black (hopefully).

ZEBRA NOSE - you can see it if you look closely
