Keiko is only half husky, but takes after that half in behavior and looks. B/c of Gunther, she now eats regularily, and has gained 5 lbs b/c of it. I much preferred her when she was a sporadic eater. She, too, would go a day or two without eating and it never concerned me, since she always would eat again.
As for the discharge, yes that is normal, although gross.
I always give my guys bordatella simply b/c we frequent the dog park alot, and it's always better safe than sorry, since kennel cough can take awhile to get over. If your dog has continuous sniffles, I would have the vet take a look at him.
You must have a really good doggie day care. The ones around here are pretty expensive, and the cost does definitely NOT include overnight visits. Since I do pet sitting and dog walking, I dont' have to worry about that for myself, thank goodness. And I do get the worried parents, checking in on the pets to make sure they're still alive.........
...lol.

I don't mind, it comes with the job, and it means the owners care alot about their furry family.
