A couple of weeks ago I posted about Dakota's yucky nose and how we thought it was lupus. When he was at the vet for his dental work, he had the crusty stuff scrubbed off his nose so we could start from scratch. Now, after almost 2 weeks on niacinimide and tetracycline for presumed lupus, we have marked improvement. Here are the before and after photos:
From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.
Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/
OH! YAY! Normal nose! That's fantastic Dakota!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Wow ! Nice snozzola!
Spirit Samson was Spirit Tripawd Daisys four legged "brother" and ruled as the self proclaimed head of the Monkeybutt Federations East Coast Division. Lady Chunky Monkey stayed from Oct 2011 and left for the bridge in Apr 2012. Miss Perdy is left and has some big pawprints to fill.

Dakota is such a handsome boy, it would take more than a little crud on his nosey to ruin his good looks. But he does look better without it!

Dakota Dawg,
My mom says I was rude before. Your nose looks really, really, nice, and I'm really glad its better.
Your caring pal Obie
p.s. where's Evelyn?
nose! nose! nose! who cares about dakota's nose? he doesn't know how to grow a nose. this is a real nose!
obie my friend, i have been away for awhile thinking about what to do for my summer vacation. i worked really hard all year and deserve some fun. last year i did some really good work for summer vacation. i've been wondering how to improve on it. this is what i did last year:
i ate these dvds. i ate more than these but i think these were my favorites. it was the complete series and i ate enough so the series isn't complete any more. what should i do this summer, obie?
love, evelyn
Beauty this good takes a lot of sleep.
There's a nose in there somewhere?

Oh Evelyn, I think you should behave this summer. Oh wait, maybe there are some other CD's that may mean a lot to someone else who use to live in that house. See if you can find them. Woof Woof Woof

Nice nose Dakota! You looked good both ways, though- us retrievers are a beautiful breed- lol!
