Update on Tiny Tim Tebow...
He is really doing well.. still has lots of hair... some of the fuzzy stuff... well, it is all fuzzy stuff pretty much, but some of the original fuzz came out and new fuzz came in.. the new fuzz is black and within weeks, turns grey.. like an old man. He has a huge patch of "big dog hair" on his chest - like a chestplate.. and it is 2+ inches long... this huge patch on that little chest is so funny, as it nearly drags on the ground when he prances.. yes, prances across the yard.
He still gets .3 thyroxene twice a day with CoQ10, Fish Oil, Glucosomine/Chondroitin. He gets raw beef heart 2x week, chicken 3x week, and beef of some sort the rest of the time. He gets chicken paws regularly, beef liver and chicken liver as his treats for training. He also gets an egg twice a week, shell and all.. loves trying to open it.. a fun outside time. He was on Longevity from Springtime for quite a while but it has become cost prohibitive for me tocontinue that, but he doesn't show any ill effects. We do give him 1 cup of Taste of the Wild every morning and a general high grade dog vit/min suppletment. We bathe him with a pet dispensed shampoo which has proven to work wonders.. no skin eruptions since he first arrived. She recommended twice a week.. I am at once ever 10-14 days at most...unless he has decided to dig in the mud and is covered.. he loves to do that.. then he gets a bath no matter what day it is!
I am convinced that the nightly brushing is an advantage for him. It keeps the baby fuzz from clumping around the skin.. when it is moved outof the way by stretching it out straight... the black hair pops through -sometimes I can see black dots on his skin. It is a nice TV activity and he seems to enjoy it. He HATES to get his nails cut - his feet are so big but he never has allowed anyone to handle his feet - even when he is being brushed.. Now I can finally touch his legs, but not the feet. Nail trimming is interesting..
Tebow has that big dog attitude and has put our GSDx (Willow) on the ground several times. She is 85 pounds, he is 33. But he has an attitude if she doesn't do what he thinks she should. But they play well together and are great yard mates now that the weather is nice... until nap time, then he wants in the house .. then back out only sporatically... One issue I am having is his soiling in the house.. he seems to have an issue - groans when he poops.. but eventually gets the job done.. but prefers inside rather than in the yard. I blocked off his favorite spot and so far we are ok for the last few days.. but we'll see.
Otherwise, he is doing great.. happy and healthy- relatively speaking.. hasn't changed in looks much, but he's doing well. By the way, ignore dates on photos I don't have that figured out yet.

Don't have a lot of time right now, so I may have missed it. Make sure your vet does separate pituitary and thyroid panels. Not just a thyroid or CBC. I have a dwarf that is a true pituitary dwarf...
Kane... http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=721886
He is a riot and I just love him to death. My 18 month old thinks he's his little baby and lets Kane beat up on him all the time. And right now thaey are out in the baby pool I can see out the door, but I want to get out there with my camera. Just came in to see if the Sieger Show results were up. I'll read everything later.
