Roxy's Sandia Daytrip

[daytrippers]

Roxy completed her 2nd daytrip to the Sandia Mountains with her 2 daytripper brothers.  I've included a pic of Loki our 4 yr old Golden.  He loves to hang out on top of picnic tables

I may be just a bit biased but Roxy is a cutie!  I love the pic of Loki on the picnic table.  I agree with Lori that he looks like a lion.

I agee with the other two ladies, Loki looks like a lion!

Miss Roxy looked like she was on a mission,  with her cute self.

When Loki was a puppy, he was diagnoised with hair folical cysts.  It causes the hair to grow under the skin as well as on top.  There was only one option, massive scalp surgery at the age of 5 months.  The vet had to remove his entire scalp and now the hair from the back of his head is on top, giving the appearance of a lion.  He is 34" from neck to the base of his tail, and 32" from the ground to the top of his shoulder.  He weighs 118lb and is very fit.
He is Roxy's overly protective brother.

Yeah, Loki does look like he's a natural fit in the "wild".  Little One is having fun exploring.  Nothing like not posing.

It was a rough childhood for Loki.  At first we thought the sores were bite marks from his father.  But they kept appearing.  Our vet said it was only the 2nd case of hair folical cysts he had seen in over 30 years.  I was tempted to attach a pic of him after surgery, but it would really break your heart.  Bright pink stitches from ear to ear.    Was not a happy puppy though!
