Welcome to Winning Duncan Over! You will find in these pages the story of a Shetland Sheep dog who spent 8 years as a puppy mill stud dog before being rescued. Duncan's rescue is only the beginning of the story however. A great deal of time, work, love and patience is needed to turn an abused puppy mill dog into a happy and healthy pet, and that is the story told here. If you would like to read Duncan's full story I recommend that you start in the Archives at the left with February 2007 - when it all began for me, Duncan's guardian. Thank you for visiting Duncan's site, and please tell a friend!

Gimpy Little Debbie


I had to take Little Debbie to the Vet today. She started limping really bad yesterday afternoon out of the blue. I tried to check her leg and paw out to see if there were any cuts or anything and there was nothing. She never likes her paws messed with, but she did snap at me when I was checking out her paw. "Yes, that hurts Mom!"

X-rays show no broken bones, but it looks like she has an old injury in her left front elbow. Maybe dislocated or something when she was in the puppy mill. The joint pops in and out when it's flexed. Got a pain killer/anti inflamatory for her for about a week. Hopefully that makes her feel better.

I also got a script for Duncan for a mild sedative that I can give him when a thunderstorm breaks out, and to try giving him before I brush him. I can't wait to try it. If I could brush him myself without him going bonkers it would be great. Maybe I could even get some toothbrushing in. We'll have to see.

Soon as I get my tax return, both kids are going in for dentals!
