Lop-headed dog ????

[fishinwrench]

Ok here's one for ya.   I pull in the other day, hop out and my best buddy, Orion is there to greet me.  I look at him and something doesn't look right, his head is crooked.  It looked like somebody bashed his skull in with a shovel.... but yet he is acting like everything is just peachy.  I holler at my wife to come look at him and she almost passes out.  Rush him to the vet where they rack up 450.00 worth of x-rays and tell me that his skull is fine but the muscle that goes over that side of his head has just gone flat.  

What?   Just like that?   One minute it's fine and 20 minutes later.....Poof, muscle just goes flat?    I Google it and I guess this really is a thing.  Has anybody ever seen this before? Because I haven't.  

Orion seems fine, it hasn't effected anything about him as far as I can tell, other than his appearance.   Crazy!

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

No it certianly has not. Just last week I was very concernd when I saw him. I was trying to help retrieve some maiden of the house garmet from him. i figured go to his food bowl and mess around with it. That will get his attention, and it sure did. He came galloping accross the kitchen about shaking the floor and about knocking me down. To make a long story short. I never did get the garment. He galloped back very fast  and knocked me away from his treasures. Mr Wrench sat there and laughed thru it all. He is a nice dog. He likes me and I like him. But never give him the idea your a play thing.

This hound has been the biggest PIA of any dog I've ever had.  Love him to death but boy-oh-boy there are times when I'd like to kick him off a cliff. 

Ya know how all dogs have that spot where if you scratch it they start thumping their foot?   Well this jackass does this thing where he goes to do a little scratch, hits his funny spot, and totally locks himself up.   If you don't get up and go physically stop him he'll set there and scratch non-stop for HOURS !    Seriously, the freakin' idiot will lock himself up and sit there scratching like a madman and look at you like "Help Me, Help Me, can't stop,  I'm stuck here!".  It's like caring for a retarded kid.  

The kids adopted a stupid cat and all Orion wants to do is lick the cats butthole, and it makes my wife wanna beat him.  Of course the cat LOVES IT and is always walking past him with her tail straight up in the air like "Oh please, big yellow dog, do that thing you do!".  

This is becoming a rather weird place to live.   If it wasn't for my incredible sense of humor I'm pretty sure I'd have to leave.

       Wonder if it could be like humans get. Bells Palsy ? I had a friend many years back who get that and his face and eye drooped like that. The best to Orion from the BilletHead's and Sadie,

Yeah I dunno.   It isn't sore or even tender.  He hasn't lost any coordination or anything.   He can still perk up both ears, his eyesight and eye movements are still normal.  Apparently the breed that it is most common in is Boxers, but it has happened in all kinds of dogs.  

Occasionally you'll look at him and his head will look almost normal again, then he moves or something and it goes right back down.   Makes me wonder if eventually the issue will correct itself as fast as it happened.
