Ps. 2 questions:
1) anyone else's pup lose their hearing along with the leg?
I don't want to pull too much on Ajax, and you hate to speak harshly to your newly 3-legged buddy, but Ajax has clearly recognized this and has decided to ignore all non-essential — as he deems them — voice commands. Hence, lady losing her cheese plate last Friday.
I could never be entirely sure- Maggie had chronic ear infections when she was younger and had lost some hearing, and she was an obstinate pug (actually often obstinate is used as a definition for pugs). But I swear when I would call her I could see her deciding if it was worth her time to respond
.
Karen and the pugaplooza
Now I see the name – Ajax will carry on the Pool Edge Position in honor of Jake.
Glad to know I don't have the only Devil Dog who is taking advantage of his situation …

I'm laughing at your comment about the LIE – you got me there – I can picture it now. Yikes!!
Selective hearing….seems to be a very common trait and in my experience with Mackenzie it only gets worse. I can call her name 10 times in a row and she'll just stand there looking at me as if I had 2 heads. You might notice some other behaviorial changes going on too…like Mackenzie now barks at everything. Before her amputation she hardly ever barked. I guess they're trying to overcompensate for their leg. But I don't mind her loud fierce barking now – makes me feel a little more protected even if she is a golden.

Hmmm …protection has not previously been Ajax's strong suit, as he will basically love anyoen with food. Maybe this will be a bonus …
On the "news" side: Ajax is now laying on his right (amputated leg) side, hooray!!!!!!! He has been lying on the left side only for 3 weeks – so nice to seem him relaxing on the other side ….

Kazy55,
Don't forget to log on before you post- that's why your last post didn't show up right away, it had to wait for moderation.
