Pinkness

Haroo, Everypuppy! Our extra handsome Pippa has been concerned about his extra cute muzzle turning pink. We think it's just him blushing over all of his girlfriends. We did promise to tell the story of when Guinness turned pink.

Once upon a time there was a sweet puppy at a local pet store where they take unwanted litter puppies (no puppy mill puppies!). There she was, all curled up, the only one of her litter there. Mom fell in love & took her home as a birthday present for daddy. She met her big brother General and life was good for a few days. Well, it turned out the puppy brought home a virus and her immune system was really struggling to fight it off. That allowed evil puppy mange to take over about 80% of our sweet baby girl. She was loosing all of her pretty fur and just looked naked, pink and sad.

Off she went to the vet. He said mom & dad had to put this nasty, icky stuff all over her to kill those evil mites. It smelled like chemicals and mom was scared that the stuff would be worse for her baby girl than the mites. Thank goodness Guinness finally got rid of those nasty critters. This picture shows her at about 1 year old, still pink, but getting her fur back. Look at those long legs & ears!
