Btw, Reese had his leg shaved and a portion of his chest in Dec....well that still has not grown in enough to match the other and probably won't until he gets his summer do. |
Thanks Deb! I can't wait to see pictures of Reese-y in his summer do. I only pray that Frazier will never need any of that gorgeous coat shaved off.

plus you can buy some more clothes for him! just be careful about buying ones with pant legs. make sure they are easy to get on and off without bending him legs too much as he won't be able to do it after surgery. |
Ya, I know it's the right decision. As far as clothes with legs, no dice. Anytime you put anything on that boy that is more than a sweatshirt, he sits down and refuses to move. I won't do that to him! Ryder on the other hand LOVES his jumpers. I am too afraid to put him in on right now though because of his back
Thanks for the tip on the bath and slipping. I haven't thought that far ahead but thanks for bringing it up now.
