Daji is back to beautiful!

Oh my goodness. It seems that from my lack of posts that Daji hasn't done anything awesome in a while. But that's not at all true... he's still a great little boy! Unfortunately, he went through an ugly phase though. And by ugly, I do not mean awkward or anything nice like that... he was plain straight UGLY. He got a canine papilloma virus in his mouth (yes, it's similar to one of everyone's favorite STD's - genital warts - but we're pretty sure he didn't get it fooling around with any female doggies). We gave it a nickname that was slightly easier to pronounce and would make it less obvious we were talking about a nasty virus when we discussed it between ourselves out in public- hence, the warts became known collectively as "the Pamplona." That lasted from January through May and it was quite noticeable. We spoke to the vet who assured us it would go away on its own. Not satisfied, David looked for home remedies online and found that some people had luck with L-lysine supplements acting as an immune-system activator to help their little furry friends fend off the virus. We started feeding that to Daji with each meal and, sure enough, the darn things started to shrink and they have now disappeared entirely! Go natural remedies! As you can see, he is back to looking handsome as ever. :)


Now for the truly exciting news... Daji isn't going to be a bastard dog anymore! His parents are making things official and getting married. And so now, I have a feeling that my blog will be an outlet to talk incessantly about wedding planning. Ye be warned...
