Well that was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  How is it that an animal buries itself so deeply into your heart and soul.  He was my best buddy in the world.  Not seeing him waiting in th

Oliver left us last night. He waited until I got home from the field, brought him to bed, snuggled him, and tucked him in. Then he left. I could sense for the past 10 days that he was saying goodby

Had to say goodbye to one of my best friends of the last 14 years today. Her name was Avery. At 8 weeks old she was left tied up in front of my future father in law's vet clinic. Freshly out of c

Rocket had the first of two femoral head ostectomies yesterday. This one was on the worst side, the one where his hip was basically permanently dislocated because the joint was nonexistent. He's grumpy but less about pain and more because he can't jump on Edgar and keeps wacking into everything with the cone. They'll operate on the other side in a few months once this side is healed up.

hes probably gonna have to wear the cone for a while,  you might want to look into a blow up donut cone of shame instead.   

Sadie flat out destroyed her cone of shame by purposly ramming the fucker into every wall she could find at full speed.   It became so cracked it could have been considered a saw blade, finally had to put her in the donut.   That worked.

We tried the donut the last time he needed a cone and it deflated within a couple of hours. Had better luck with the soft cone but I think it will be too short for where his incision is this time. I wish we could get away with something smaller than the regular e-collar, though. Our house isn't big and he whacks it into everything just trying to get around.

Fusca seems to be recovering well. It is really hard to keep her from not running or jumping. But her incision is healing well and she is putting weight on her leg. Her best friend Gabi is looking out for her.

Advice. Don’t name him Pupper.  Enjoy every moment.  Their time goes by too swiftly.

Had to keep Luna in the bedroom while at work for a couple days so the maintenance guys could do some work. Poor girl thought she was being punished, and no amount of treats made her think otherwise. When letting her out after work she would walk out with her head down and tail wagging submissively.

Good girl Luna.

Hate days like this.

Just left the vet after saying good bye to Callie. We think she was 17.

Honestly I think we held on to her for a year too long. The vet asked 2 questions that helped clarify things - 1) would you be really surprised if when you woke up in the morning she had passed in her sleep? And 2) how meaningful is her interaction with her environment?

Well Doc, when you ask it that way. . .never an easy decision.

Hit me up any time you need someone to talk to.

Talking to folks helped me immensely when Amber passed
