State of the Coonhound : mostly a photoupdate

Darwin has settled in very well.  Az has decided he will put up with him, the cats consider him to be a sort of walking cushion, and I think Mollydog quite likes him. 





Weird feet! 


Is it my imagination that he looks very slightly less lumpy?


I think she quite likes him... Mollydog is about a kilo and a half lighter than Darwin, but she looks huge compared to him in this pic. 



 He's still drinking rather a lot - between 2 & 3 litres a day.  It is a bit of a worry that this might indicate diabetes or Cushings disease....  He had a test for Cushings recently which came back negative, and I'm waiting for the results of the urine test.  It is possible this is partly behavioural : he was crated without water, so to some degree it is understandable that he might be inclined to fill up on water since it's available.  He has drunk a bit less today - only about 2 litres - so fingers crossed.

Awww, it does look like those wattles about his neck are much less loose and floppy, and is that a hint of a waistline starting to show? Huzzah! And that sweet old boy looks like he's enjoying although the fabulous outdoor smells, too. <3

He is really loving the sniffing. When I drive up onto the hill and he sees that we are going for a walk, he sings joyful songs!
