Oz builds a nest

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!'

Dave Barry

Oz, above, was bitten by a brown recluse spider last week; however, he is recovering after a lot of antibiotics and good wound care. The vet wanted to anesthetize him to debride the wound but my friend who is working with Oz refused. Instead, she gave him a "settle" command, held on to his muzzle and he let the vet work on him without a peep. He's so brave! In this photo taken last winter he drug all the unattended clothing he could find around the house to this rug and made himself comfortable. A dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do.
