Dillon is doing really well. He was getting quite a few bacterial infections in the early months, they were usually at their peak and ready to spread rapidly just as I was getting onto the bus to head to the airport to go to work for weeks on end, so Ozzy had to deal with it. We finally learned how to get it under control without having to visit the vet each time and getting on antibiotics.
His diet now is dog food, rice, veggies, hard boiled egg, coconut oil, Mila and the occasional chicken, beef or fresh raw tuna. He is quite spoiled when it comes to his diet and turns his nose up when we have run out of the good stuff and he just gets dog food. I am quite sure he will survive.
He did have a run in with a friend of ours dog. Dillon wanted to play with the dogs coconut and the dog was not too keen on that idea so went after Dillon. The dog bit through Dillon's ear and that was about it. Dillon is like Alex when it comes to sweetness and being friendly, chasing butterflies, but he handled the situation like a pansy and ran away.
He still loves the beach and playing in the flat water, though it is getting quite hot here and the sand will burn your feet if you don't wear shoes so I am sure that doesn't feel very good on his paws. He seems to be a bit more mellow and sluggish due to the heat. He just wants to lay on the tile and keep cool. I did buy clippers and gave him a mexican groom yesterday. I couldn't believe all the hair that came off of him, and he is no where near shaved, except on his belly. He seems much cooler and I love that we no longer have a Dillon hair and sand carpet 24/7.
The rainy season is around the corner and with that comes amazing thunder and lightning storms. Dillon is deathly afraid of and loud noise so a friend gave me some muscle relaxers for dogs and boy they work. I tried half of one out on him yesterday due to noise in the area, needless to say I think he will have no problem with the storms.
