Well Diesel has been the best dog and he is learning come and sit. He and Rocco have become greaqt buds and even snuggle at nap times. They love to chase each other. We have so many people trying to guess the many breeds that have gone into to Diesel....boxer, beagle, ridgeback. I do have a question about balding patches that are appearing on his head. Have any of the other pups had this problem? We are wondering if he is just allergic to something. He is also having many loose stools. The vet is coming tomorrow but just wondered if any of the other siblings had similar problems. The cough was thought to be a worm problem that affected his lungs. Cindy

Well the bald patches are just this reaction that a lot of puppies get to mites called Dermodex. He gave him another deworming treatment and an antibiotic for his loose stools. There were no identifiable parasites but he wanted to be sure there isn?t another problem. He now weighs 22#. That is a 7.5# increase from when we got him. He is getting so tall. So I guess there is no real issues just usual puppy stuff. I will post new pics as soon as we can. Cindy
