http://pettalkinillinois.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Pet Talk in Illinois. Friday, November 28, 2014. The name Papillon came from the word ‘butterfly’ to describe the shape of their ears.

Pet Talk in Illinois: Ear Infections
http://pettalkinillinois.blogspot.com/2015/05/ear-infections.html
Pet Talk in Illinois. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. This poor dog has a terrible ear infection! Ear infections are a common problem we see in pets. Many people are familiar with ear mites and tend to blame an infection on mites. While we definitely need to be aware of ear mites (especially in cats) an itchy ear does not always mean mites. So what other causes could there be for ear infections? We will commonly see yeast and/or bacteria contributing to itchy, smelly ears. So, how do dogs get ear infections?

Pet Talk in Illinois. Thursday, June 11, 2015. The night before surgery I practiced with my e-collar. I didn't like it very much. It has been awhile! I know I didn't post last week, but I had kind of a busy week. This mass popped up over a weekend. It hurt me a little to walk but it really hurt if someone touched it! A couple of weeks ago my person found something on my toe. I had been limping a little bit, but then something started growing out of my pad! We made some pawprints of when I had all my toes!

Pet Talk in Illinois. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Doodle Days #32 (My Year in Review! Since 2014 is drawing to a close I like to look back on my year and see the highlights! This was a good one! January started out very snowy! We went on several walks throughout the day of the big snow so I could get some exercise because we knew when the snow was done it would be hard to get out and stretch our legs for awhile. This is just the beginning of the snow! I love the snow! I love when she comes to visit!
