Poor Pup

Dash has had a abscess that has plagued him pretty much since we got him. It is a little bump below the jaw that we have tried to fix with 2 antibiotic rounds. It went away for a few weeks but always came back. Today Dash went in to get it lanced and cleaned out. Needless to say we have one sad puppy today. Here he is with his hot compress on.

On a better note we had delicious food for dinner a couple nights ago that is blog worthy!
