    Annie, I'm only teared up because of te love my mother had in the dog to let us care for him as I was the one who cared for dad in his last days.

    This dog is a priceless member of the family, as are our other dogs. This one just has special meaning to me.

    To keep fleas out of your yard plant lavender and put cedar chips around flower beds and such. Cedar and lavender scattered about the house will drive the fleas out. My husband got laid off and I haven't been able to keep up with the cedar and lavender in the house and the fleas are back yuk!

    Diet change is in the works. Got to drive over 40 miles tomorrow, but it will be well worth it. Apparently his food has too much beef for his breed. The other dogs will adjust to a Lamb, Chicken and fish diet.

    Just got home with some toys for him, like he used to have back home... he was SOOOOO excited to see them. Hopefully this will help alleviate some of his anxiety.

    Swee, thanks for the advice... I grow lavender here at home and have one of the biggest bushes you will ever see, guess I'll just have to add some cedar chips.

    Apparently, according to my husband, he has adopted me. He used to sleep with my mother, but has been sleeping with my daughter since he's been here. Last night she spent the night somewhere else and he shadowed me up to bed and back down in the morning and has been following me around ever since.

    Sounds like you have a wonderful new addition to the family, J9. Don't let him take over the garage office. Another helpful plant with fleas in the yard is mums. Their pollen actually contains an insecticide.

    OMG! He looks like my Indy with long hair.

    He's beautiful J. Those eyes see right through you, don't they?

    He's so lucky to have you and I'm sure he'll make you feel lucky to have him. :)

    Thanks for the pics. Give him a hug or 20 from me. :)

    Newest info. It appears that he has thick crust on his skin. Much like a baby with cradle cap. We are adding veggie oil to his food, got a new expensive food, but what can we do tonight to stop his agony?
