Jabba and I thank you for your kind replies. : ) I haven't had my latest pictures put on a disk yet, so those are a little over two months old, when we first brought him home. He finally had his last shots and can go to training (which he really needs--I have no doubts he was the leader of his pack!) but he has issues with parasites I'd like to get rid of before I let other dogs around him. He has this problem with eating poop, and it doesn't seem to matter what kind it is, so he keeps reinfecting himself. He started out with Giardia (sp?) and one other parasite, but thanks to the rabbits who seem to poop out ten times their weight in our yard, he now has tapeworm. We've tried Forbid from the vet and now we're using this Stop Eating Poop stuff from the pet store, but it only seems to help a little. When he's alone during the day, we can't stop him from eating his poop, and it's hard to control him eating the rabbit poop because when he sniffs around to go, he gets it in his mouth and swallows it before you can get it from him. What a stinker! Needless to say, I won't always accept his kisses!
