Springtime fun awaits!

Skeletor has been doing quite well. He's been spending longer than 30 seconds at a time outside. This must be because of the amazing weather!



This week is Skelly's follow up visit to the vet after his final heartworm injection! I'm guessing this means they are going to test his blood and xray his heart and lungs to make sure the nasty jerks are gone for good. I'm sure this will also mean that we start him on regular doses of heartworm preventative. (which all dog owners should do! :)

Mel and I are hoping that we can start taking Skeletor out on walks and to beaches and parks now that he's finished with his heartworm treatment.

He still coughs in the mornings. He pants a lot and tires easily. He's big and strong though, and full of youthful vitality and energy!

So without further ado... SPRINGTIME ACTION PUP!! (click to enlarge!)

    Wes, this article about a pit mix that's pretty bad off, too. Maybe Skelly could send a card?
