Chest Hair
Since we started talking about the scars on Luna’s back in the comments of yesterday’s post, I thought I would post a picture of Luna’s little, bare chest. I’m not sure if you can tell simply by looking at photos, but the skin on Luna’s chest is quite soft. On her back, the skin, where she is missing fur, is much thicker and firmer (hence scars). For some reason, the hair on Luna’s chest has never really grown back in after she was treated for mange. It is odd, because I have seen dogs that have had mange and are missing all kinds of fur and once they get everything treated their fur grows in as good as new. The dermatologist can’t say why Luna’s fur hasn’t grown back on her chest, but they tell us she is no worse for the wear. Right about now, I think her lack of fur gives her an advantage over the boys in this FL heat.
Have a great weekend!
Happy Weekend to all!

Our Charlie (who is also visually impaired)had a bare chest when we adopted him. Apparently, he was missing quite a bit of his hair when he was first rescued… a fungal infection. We continue with weekly Maleseb baths and daily Maleseb Pledgetts… now, Charlie has a “manly chest” full of beautiful black hair (with a white diamond patch!)Perhaps Princess Luna does not NEED chest hair.
