Still using branding strips! Shadow’s tummy was bothering him (he has a delicate digestive system) and after a rough morning, he just wanted some cuddles and “good boy” affirmations. When I adopted him, the shelter told me one of the reasons he was in foster care for so long was because of his tummy issues (I think he had been adopted then given back at least once). IBF is not pleasant but just look at that face! And he’s so affectionate and fun - totally worth it.
