Hello & thank you for all the welcomes!

I am up again, checking on Shield. He had his vacs yesterday. They gave him the usual plus gave him a lepto?

There was alot of swelling, like egg size in his leg. He couldn't walk or sit/lay down for a long time. The vet said to give him claritin & watch him. SO i have been. Finally now, he can walk & the swelling has gone down.

I don't know why they did lepto. I don't think my collie mix, Emma has gotten lepto? They want to give him a 2nd dose of that when he gets fixed but i don't know. That freaked me out!

I posted 3 pics shortly after we got him on the pictures area.

Here is another one, Shield with my daughter. I really like this one since he is smiling!!

Last one is Shield, my daughter & I. We were on a 5 mile hike with the family. First one for him & he walked/ran the entire time just like our big dog! Great endurance!

Also this picture shows that he isn't really that small, he was 10 pounds at the vets. Oh, and the vet guessed that he is 2 yrs old. I had no idea!
