Drummer at 17 months old

Exuberant Drummer

December 2012

Drummer has become a lapdog, more needy that other hounds we've had. Here he is with Caleb, one of the regulars he sponges pets off of.

Drummer was a very sick boy this week. He got an abscess on his rump. He also lost eight pounds. The vet drained 12 oz. of fluid from his rump, and he was on an IV to hydrate him for two days. Total vet bill: $900.

After five days of antibiotics he is back to his old self, chomping at the bit to get off the leash and run again.

Drummer Makes the Calendar

Drummer is excited by his being selected "Mr. December, 2013" on the new Stapleton Dog Calendar.


The photo selected was when he was five months old.


He was one of 200 entrants for the twelve select spots.
