Introducing Ahab

Ahab is a Border Collie X Blue Heeler born with three paws. He's 10 years old now and the strain of walking wrong all his life is starting to show. He still does sports like Agility (for fun only) and Scent Hurdle but he's definitely showing signs of slowing down.

He's a retired therapy dog, I had to retire him because the group decided that dogs fed raw food were too much of a risk. Never mind that the the food I feed has never once had a recall or been linked to the death of an animal and almost all the big commercial kibbles have. I suspect the lawyers saw $$$.

Here he is when I took him into the office on St. Patrick's day. You can see that his right back leg just ends without a paw. He has a callus on the end so he clearly uses the stump. The speckling around his eye is new, he didn't have that 18 months ago.

Not sure if he'll be going back to the office soon as he had a bit of a mental melt down when another dog came in. We'll see.
