Michigan really has had a nice summer. Not too many hot days, not much rain (I don’t care if we get rain because we have underground sprinkling!) 🙂 Well, these pictures aren’t the greatest, but I wanted to post a couple of them just because. Schumi’s itchy spots are gone and his coat is looking much more healthy, at least I think so anyway.
His front feet aren’t perfect here, but I like this picture because I think it shows that he’s looking more grown up! Hal thanks for editing this picture for me!
We got him a bandana in Germany. I also got him this red leather swiss collar that some other dogs in Germany were wearing and I liked it. I bought more stuff for Schumi on the trip than I did for myself! :-/ Sad, huh?
Becky, Schumi is starting to look more like a dog than a youngster! He seems very proud of his new bandana—Rudi will be sooooo jealous!
Yes, your boy looks very much like a young man now! It’ll be time for X-rays soon (Hips & Elbows) Hayden had them Wednesday, very promising. My dogs get lots of goodies too & more stringent health scrutiny than I do. You know how we men are, some of us would have to be dying before we look for help! Charming pictures, charming bandana, I’ll have to check out his new red collar. Hal
Thanks Hal! Schumi already had his prelims for hips and elbows done a few months ago; everything looked great!!
Great pix of a very handsome pooch. I especially like the second one because you can see the happiness and love in his eyes and he has a great smile.
He has such a happy face!!
Hi Becky! Schumi is just stunning, and becoming a very handsome GSD. He and Rudi still look very much alike. I just love him, of course how could one not, good thing I’ve one of my own.
Have not tried putting a bandana on Rudi yet. He might be jealous but it seems when he sees other K9’s wearing clothing it drives him nuts…barks like crazy. Hmmm…I may just have to give it a try today just for the fun of it and perhaps get a photo. Thanks for the photos and sorry I don’t get more of Rudi posted. Enjoy your lovely weather. JH 🙂
Julie H, Rudi loved wearing his ribbon for your birthday!
Yes he did, geeze, colorful ribbons and all. Perhaps we’ll try a bandana tomorrow after training.
This morning I couldn’t figure out what was up but after about an hour of the dogs wanting in and out, Hilda helping along, Rudi not interested at all in his breakfast and pretty much them telling me there’s something outside..but “I” couldn’t find it. Finally Rudi began pawing/digging at the fence so I investigate and low and behold there was a baby bird. Fortunately on the neighbors side of the fence. I loaded up Rudi, put the baby in a box and off to the conservancy we go. The crop was full so they suggested I bring the little fellow back and put it near some bushes about 10 to 20 feet away from our fence. Hope the parents find their little bird, I never did find the nest. JH
@Peter and Julie,
What’s the update on that poor baby bird?
Saw a dove hanging in our neighbors yard and Peter an “angry” (do birds getting angry) one on top of our house later yesterday afternoon. Rudi and I had SAR training this AM and Peter didn’t see anything this afternoon while doing the lawn. I’m hoping since the doves were so close to where the baby was found in our neighbors yard the family is back together.
Also, Becky, I’ve decided that Schumi and Rudi are so handsome, Johnny Depp better beware. 😉 JH
Schumi is looking super! For those that are wondering, Lysol was what we use to get rid of his patch of dry itchy skin.
