Back in our post for 40 things, we mentioned that Brice had gone to the vet for x-rays of his hips and elbows to send in to the OFA for evaluation. Don't worry, there was nothing wrong with him.
(Momma - This was info that we wanted to give to his breeder for her records. She does very extensive research including health clearances before she decides to have a litter. Tracking the health and lives of the puppies that she produces helps confirm that she is making the right breeding decisions.)
We got his OFA certificates in the mail yesterday. His elbows received a "Normal" rating and his hips were rated as "Excellent". These are the best ratings that you can get and indicate that it is unlikely that he will develop hip issues later on. The other reason we had this test done is so that Momma could start him on supplements if his ratings came back bad. My sister Tasha had bad hips and was on supplements for most of her life to ease her pain.
Brice most have known what the envelope was going to say since he was doing a lot of leaping and jumping for joy a few days ago at the park.
To celebrate, we got to have our favorite stinky canned food- Evanger's Whole Mackerel in Gravy for dinner. Momma can't stand the look or the smell of it. But Brice and I agree that it is very yummy!
Yes, those are whole little fishPrincess Eva

I think I'll pass on the mackerel too - I prefer turkey in gravy.
Yay for Brice and his clear results!

I LOVE that picture! I want my mom to print it out for me to hang in my carrier. Sigh. You're SO handsome!
