Danny's Photos Page
Danny is my little enigma. The dictionary defines an enigma as somebody or something that is not easily explained or understood: a paradox, conundrum, problem, mystery, riddle, puzzle, question, perplexity. This definitely describes my Danny. We sometimes call him "Difficult Danny." Danny is energetic and active. He is very smart, athletic and agile. Nothing, not even bad knees (he was diagnosed with 2 bad knees at his new puppy visit and has had surgery on the left knee), can slow him down. Danny is quite a character. He is very high strung (Teddy and Soleil are quite mellow in comparison as was my sweet little Sonny). He is nervous, skittish, and extremely temperamental. Even at almost 6 years of age I have never been able to completely housebreak him (he still poops in the house). I know he loves us in his own way and we have learned that we have to accept that.
Danny has an overbite; was cryptorchid; has really bad atopic allergies causing him to chew the hair off his body (each year the allergy issue last longer-it now seems to be an all year-long issue); his hind paws are pigeon-toed which makes him walk strangely-his rear end swishes from side to side as he walks; he has extremely thin, fine hair; and he has anal gland issues.

filmed 9-13-09 Danny has a strange-looking gait. He is rather pigeon-toed on his hind legs and swings his hind legs under his body when he walks, almost like he is walking on a tightrope. |

Carol Kay and Hildegard Patton have agreed to settle the litigation between them involving several posting and emails on Internet sites maintained by each of them concerning two poodle dogs once acquired by Kay from Patton.

Ms. Kay’s only intentions were to provide information to assist others in obtaining further knowledge and understanding of canine health.
Hildegard hereby issues a similar statement apologizing to Ms. Kay for statements she posted regarding Ms. Kay which suggested Ms. Kay’s actions in posting the medical information may be the result of any health issues relating to Ms. Kay or to any acts of Ms. Kay.
