...Otto is not completely out of the woods yet but the prognosis is good. His temp is now normal again. He's still very sore and lame but we don't know from what so we're treating him with antibiotics assuming it is an infection. There is nothing to culture or test at the moment unless he presents...

Just got home with Otto. Took him this morning to vet for IV fluids and he thought he was well enough to just give him SubQ fluids, administer an anti-nasea shot...and send us home. My holistic vet gave me a bunch of Chinese medicine and a recipe for Congee....basically rice soup. She said she has...

Not good news for Otto. On my way to a vet who can perform surgery to find why intestines seem blocked. Crap. Much needed prayers...
Just had a load of clean sand delivered to full in the dirt/mud hole. The girls are trying to dig to China. Otto is at least put getting fresh air but still not...

Say prayers for Otto. Won't eat or play. No temp but can't keep even water down. Have vet appt to make sure no blockage so taking the day off to stay home with him.
Otto passed his Basic Obedience class last night in spite of not feeling good. He was very out of sorts and couldn't figure out what...

Honey and Otto taking a nap with me while Rosie and Ocra hunt. Judah in the bedroom...has to be separated from Cirnechi except his beloved Rosie....who grew up with only Ridgebacks in the beginning and thinks she is one. Judah, Honey and Rosie are best buddies and love to play together. So we have...

Ocra is happiest when.......she is playing with alive, or dead geckos. She has a huge smile on her face and her tail wags very quickly.
I am very proud to say that after this picture was taken, Ocra released the dead gecko to me with no problem. Good training for giving up a rabbit. I don't have...

Biggest difference between the Cirnechi and the Ridgebacks is that the Cirnechi never stop hunting....all day if I let them Ocra and Rosie patrol the yard every few minutes rarely give up until I make them. Day or night. Otto is more like the Ridgebacks and would rather be with me. I placed old...

Stayed home today for a much-needed day working in the yard. I keep the sliding doors open to the back yard and came inside to take a break. After about 10 minutes I noticed it was unusually quiet outside and none of the dogs were in the house. I walked off the back porch to a view of Honey's butt...

Okra just graduated from her beginner agility class last night. We are having such a blast. It has really been a positive influence on our relationship snd our bond is very close now. Ocra is just so much fun to train with and we are already learning distance commands because it is obvious already...

I find very similar correlations in types of personality traits in Cirnechi as I see in Ridgebacks. No wonder I fell in love with this new to me breed. Both breeds were pack animals used for hunting and guarding. Having been involved in Ridgebacks for so many years, I've seen some many different...
