The other Kathy..Rose’s Kathy..

Thought you guys might enjoy…  Be sure to check out the Yin Yang dogs photo!

Hi Debby,

Hope all is well on the mountain! I’ve been keeping up with your blog a
little better lately.

I started a blog a couple months ago, and just posted another picture of the
canine girls tonight.
http://beadyzoo.blogspot.com/2009/06/our-yin-yang-dogs.html Thought you
might enjoy this.

If you click on the picture, it will enlarge to a VERY large picture in
another window. I thought about cutting the size on this, but wanted you to
see Rose’s ear. I don’t know if you can tell from the pic or not, but in
less than 10 hours yesterday, she had scratched so much that the hair on and
around her right ear is one giant, knotted mat. It is grass pollen season
here, and Rose has gone from licking a paw or two and scratching 1-5 times a
day to licking all four paws and scratching furiously every 10-15 minutes.
Her vet just restarted her on Temaril-P yesterday, and I’m already seeing a
huge improvement. Thankfully, none of the scratching or irritation had
progressed into the yeast / bacterial infections she has had in the past. So
that’s life in the valley . . .

What mixed breed of dog…?

Debby,
This is a photo of my Mom with Muffin and Bridgett.  I rescued Muffin from a shelter in Indy during my senior year in college.  She was an incredibly sweet dog, only 5 weeks old when I got her.  As I am more acquainted now with the Tibetan breeds, do you think she might have been part Tibetan terrier? She sure resembles the photos…her nature was incredibly loyal, protective, a goofball of happy fluff.  As you can see, I still have an affinity for white and black dogs!

During my junior year in HS, I bottle raised the poodles from their birth when my aunt’s dog rejected them.  We kept Bridgett and I still love the poodle personality.

G’Day!
Kathy

Have you seen…

Hi Debby,
I found this woman’s blog first and then linked to the Nepal dog 
site.  It would seem she travels especially in Nepal and the Himalayas 
photographing “danger dog” signs!  She has turned this into a global 
industry, employing artists from Nepal to actually paint dog signs to 
be sold as a form of folk art.  The original danger dog signs in her 
photos are quite incredible.  Some are written in the Tibetan language.
