Starting last night, Northern Illinois was hit by snow storm/blizzard Linus. We got over a foot of snow. I personally am happy, because it's beautiful outside now and the dogs are thrilled. While it was still snowing and early enough in the day, Mac, Linc and I went out for some fun. Mac saw our neighbors dog and ran into their yard while Linc followed. I had to run through over a foot of snow to retrieve them. Linc has an awesome recall, but sometimes, Macs recall seems optional.
Linc having fun kicking up some snow. This is the first time he has been in this deep of snow.
There's something out there! I wonder what it could be!
On Friday evening, Lincoln passed his CGCA test at Forest City Kennel Club. CGCA is Canine Good Citizen Advanced or now know as AKC Community Canine. This is an advanced title that Linc will have after his name once he is neutered and given a PALS number. Linc is not AKC registered because he is a working line Australian Shepherd. This never bothered me. Many individuals have their dogs take this in order to advance to a therapy dog class and eventually be part of a therapy dog program. I am taking Linc as far as I feel necessary in obedience classes and tests.
On the day Linc took his CGCA test, he was diagnosed with a rather severe yeast and flora bacterial infection of the inguinal area. The photos are a little graphic and yes, he is still intact until he turns one.
He is currently on three oral medications and one topical ointment. One of the medications he will be on for 3 weeks, just to make sure the infections clear up. Luckily, the two main meds (the third is Benadryl), are only once a day, so I use turkey hearts as pill pockets.
A better view with his testes out of the way. He has spots on his inner and outer thighs. The worse part is behind his testes.
For the next couple of weeks, Linc will be wearing the soft cone. Funny enough, he is acting the same way as before. He is way too happy to be wearing the cone of shame. Hahaha. I love this puppy!
