Spencer and Kim check in with a sad story



Denis' lady friend and our old friend and neighbor Kim writes to tell us more about Spencer. Remember Spencer, the weimeraner with the spandex body suit?

"Back to the Vet again. This time I took Spencer and his buddy Alanzo into the woods to do some snowshoeing and Spencer found a porker in a pile of rotting pine trees and came out with about 8 quills in his mouth. I ran home with them and my Dad managed to get about 4 out but the rest were broken off and hard to get at. So back to the vet. It was just as well since he had an infection in his ears again. we have to learn how to clean his ears right. They had to knock him out to get at the quills. He came home all dopey and disoriented. He kept trying to get into his chair and slipping slowly out of it. We finally had to put him on the couch so he could lay out. Alanzo just sat there and watched him slide off the chair.

Dear Kim,

Thanks for taking such good care of that adventurous weimeraner. I hope he gets better (and less dopey)soon!

Oh he's back to counter-surfing for donut crumbs, beating the living crap out of Alanzo and sneaking into bed at 4am.

I'm glad you were able to get him the help he needed, and I'm sure he's grateful. Imagine if this had happened when he'd been lost and you weren't able to intervene.

we had 2 siberian huskies that often got quills. you'd think they would have smarten up after a few times but not them. it looks so painful. poor spencer. poor wallet.
