Fragments From Floyd

We're hoping he will grow into it, you know, like a misshappen teenager out of proportion-- all legs or trunk or front teeth. You just hope that time will bring all the parts into some kind of rough agreement and he or she will look like parts all assembled from the same species at least. And so it goes with the pupster. You see, he has a point.

Maybe this is common to all yellow labs. Maybe being black, we just couldn't see it so prominently on black labs Zachary or Buster as on Tsuga, the yellow lab pup. But he has a topknot that could be most embarrassing in adulthood if the current mountain atop his cranium doesn't finally resolve into a more molehill-like aspect.

We really don't want him to have to wear a cap all his life to hide a deformity.

Ann asks "Should we have somebody look at it?"

"No" I say in my scholarly way, "it is just a prominent saggital crest (scroll down to the bobcat skull sideview) characteristic of the carnivores. Strong jaw muscles need a prominent place to insert on the bones they pull against in order to do their work". But Dr. Science is not sure of this. The dog could be a freak. There is cause for concern. Or maybe he'll grow into it. Ya think?

But then, everything's got to have a point. Right Oblio?
