We were planning to take a walk today, but Zane is favoring his right rear leg. No walkies today. And I can't figure out where the leg hurts - I've checked the foot out really well, I can manipulate all the joints, and I can stretch all parts and massage it. But he is still favoring it. Hopefully he'll be better tomorrow.

Instead, Zane got a light trimming. There's really not a lot to trim on him, but I want him used to the scissors snipping around him. I trimmed his feet and just a touch around his ears. I'd love to clean more around his ears, but the hair is so short, he'd just look goofy. And Beth, his breeder, said to wait until his head stops changing so I know what I have.

One thing I've been noticing is that he is getting white eyebrows. One of my other Aussies, Emily, has white eyebrows, almost a mask around the top and bottom of her eyes. Zane has a little more above the eye, but I see it developing below the eye too. I wonder if it will continue to grow along the length of his eye?


These are Emily's eyebrows:


Of all my dogs, Zane is the absolute slowest eater. He takes forever! Bella and Travis inhale their food. Emily chews every bite. I always thought she was slow. Then Zane came along. Here's proof of his slowness. I didn't even video to the end of his eating - it would have taken too long!
