Cinder Dog, we've been racking our brains for names with some relation to fire fighting. We like the Smoke one too. Kinda sounds good with Cinder. "Cinder and Smoke" Then we came up with the very obvious one, "Sparky". Gots to be lota fire house dogs with that name though.

Tell Dad not to obsess too much about Stray doing #2. It will all come out eventually and once he is on a regular feeding schedule with good food and no more upheaval in his
life, he can get his digestive tract calmed down and on a even keel. Poor guy has been through a lot.

Also I've been trying to think what kind of dog he might be. Could he have some brindle boxer in him...with the short hair and some wrinkles on his face and the flopped over ears?

Anyway, it sounds like he came through the operation okay, which is what we were waiting to hear. You've gotta to be so tired too, Cinder, with all that's been going on. We really appreciate you keeping us updated in addition!! Thanks from all your fans at Pet Talk! We do love you Cinder, like one of our own!
