4/18/24:  Well folks I have seen a bunch of specialists and the diagnosis is I just have big nostrils because of the surgery I had when I was a baby.  I don’t really have enough tissue to do any kind of reconstructive surgery and I say why put me through that anyway when I am OK with my nose.  I went for my neuter and that is enough surgery for me.  I am learning all kinds of things here and at my age don’t have much of an attention span.  We are working mostly to learn that mouthing hands is inappropriate.  So it looks like I am ready for my new home if you are looking for a sweet, young man.

3/5/24:  A little update on me.  Went to the vet for my neuter and an x-ray of my hips.  However, when getting ready for my surgery they found a staph infection on my belly.  Now I have to wait until it clears to be neutered.  Also going to a specialist to see if I might have autoimmune disease.  Keep me in your prayers.

2/4/24:  I am a 1 year old collie fellow at 60 pounds.  I was advertised on the internet and they let me come to the rescue.  When I was born my nostrils were partially closed so at 11 weeks I had surgery to open them.  It may be that I will now need reconstructive surgery and I am seeing a specialist for that.  So if my nose looks a bit odd that is why.  When I arrived my coat was really matted and some of it had to be shaved.  I am a sweet, loving fellow and having no problem with the housetraining.  I am also crate trained and learning basic commands and leash walking.  I am great with the other dogs and ok with the cats but I do like to chase them.  Please check back to see how I am doing and what is next for my medical needs.

Thank you Vincent Binek, Thomas McFall, Valerie Rothbauer, Joel Kane and Lizabeth Meyer for helping with my medical needs.
