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.

Danny after his knee surgery May 2007.

Danny's femur was lacking an apporpriate groove for the patella. His vet carved a groove into the bone during the surgery. Although his right knee is also not good, thus far, he has not had to have surgery on it.

You can see the pink of the skin in the picture above. Allergies cause Danny to scratch and bite himself causing him to tear out the hair on his body.

Danny has very thin hair and absolutely no boddy fat so he gets cold easily. This is his favorite place to stand during the winter months!

Because of Danny's bad atopic allergies, he chews off his hair if it isn't covered. We bought him a new t-shirt today which fits him perfectly, both in size and in what it says!

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.
