My dog wakes up from anesthesia (pics)

Sadly he had to lose his fluffiness today (along with his testicles) but the fluffiness will be back. The testicles, not so much. ("You said I was going to be tutored!!!&quot

Never heard of that breed. bluedigger Feb 2016 #5

It's pretty rare in the US but much more common in the Indian Ocean rim Recursion Feb 2016 #6

I have a catahoula, too. They are wonderful dogs. Laffy Kat Feb 2016 #7

They are probably distant cousins. bluedigger Feb 2016 #12

I bet they are cousins. Catahoulas are all over Louisiana. nt Laffy Kat Feb 2016 #13

Cotons are supposed to be great pups. Laffy Kat Feb 2016 #9

I am always mixed when I have to clip my dogs. I have two Standard Poodles and I hate to do it, they are so cute when fuzzy but then they are cute when not fuzzy (I don't do poodle cuts). I miss having a little dog I can pick up but I do love these poodles, incredible farm dogs.

Awwww, he is just great!

A few years aga I had to take my dog in to the vets for a split dew claw. We were living in the French Quarter in New Orleans and the vet was a few blocks away, so I walked her there. When I brought her back home she couldn't walk in a straight line and her tongue was half out her mouth, as I dragged her two blocks down Bourbon Street. Pretty sure everyone thought she was drunk.

Cute pup!

He's as far as we can tell a Coton de Tulear, which is like a Lhasa or a Shih in that their hair never stops growing.

I have a Catahoula. I was told coat maintenance consists of two baths a year, "whether they need it or not", which cinched the deal. She still sheds.

Ah, yeah: we don't get that. Zero shedding (literally; it's hair not fur) but they need baths about as often as humans do.

Mine is a rescue from New Iberia, LA. She was born deaf which is no big deal. Best. Dog. Ever. My soul-mate.

Mine came through Vet Adoptions in Laplace, LA. I think they gave her up because she has a bad hip and didn't want to breed her. I feel the same about her.
