For those who haven’t met our dogs yet, Memphis is the Landseer and Ellie Mae is the black Newfoundland. We took them for a walk up to the vet’s today. The clinic is just up at Lakeshore and 30th St. a 15 minute walk. Ellie Mae has an ear infection for which the vet gave us some stuff to clean out the ears daily, and and a medication to deal with the problem. There may be an underlying allergy issue, since this has been a nagging problem that has resurfaced a few times, or perhaps was never fully resolved. First we’ll see how she does with the cleanings and the medication, and reassess in a couple weeks. If the problem persists, we may have to restrict her diet and change her protein source.

Batty gets those ear infections every summer,it makes his breath smell like the flatulence of Satan. The cleaning and ear drops always clear them up. its not diet, it’s moisture and the way their ears trap it and produce a fungus. Fucking gross.
haha, smells like the same ear infection.
Memphis and Ellie Mae are the most incredible looking dogs; they must be so comforting just to hang with in the evening. Here’s hoping Ellie Mae’s ears clear up.
Thanks Barbara. They’re really great dogs, both of them.
