05/23/2003 Entry: "Bizet's ears"
One of my dogs, Bizet (don't ask!), regularly has a problem with his ears. To prevent infections they need to be cleaned regularly, and though he's now coming up to 10 years old he has never got used to this procedure.Actually, that's an understatement. He hates it it with a will, so that it takes two of us to get it done. What should be a slightly uncomfortable experience becomes much worse for him because of his determination to get out of it. Our lives would be smoother if we just gave in and let nature take its course -- I don't like fighting him.
But it has to be done. The struggle is necessary to his well-being, and ultimately to mine, since I'd have to pay the vet's bill if they did get infected. So we fight on.
I'm not sure what the lesson is, but there's one there somewhere.
Replies:
My view of the lesson in there is, uh, stick with cats. ;-)Cheers, Rick

Just wanted to note that I think we've finally identified the breed (at least dominant) of our late, great "Little Bit." He looked almost exactly like your bizett, which is one of the breeds I had investigated when trying to narrow it down.
