Thanks - She sailed through the dental, we did the pre-op blood work and IV fluids, they gave her a shot of antibiotics and some pain med - she did not need any to take home. Vet said her teeth are very good, just some build up un the back teeth. I wanted to get ahead of any potential future...

On the advice of my vet, I switched Hanna to Simparica & Heartguard this year as ticks are horrible out here (fleas are not an issue) - I've only pulled a few dead ones off her all summer ( none attached long enough to engorge). She thinks it's a treat - so much more effective that Advantix or...

Wow - I just bought Hanna her 4th bed and she does not like this one either. She hasn't used a bed since she was a puppy much preferring the hardwood flooror the tile next to the air conditioning vent. I'm storing this one for when she gets old. That is a seriously cute photo!

Love that stage - it goes so fast. He's very handsome.

Haven't been on here in some time. Hanna & I are doing great - She's already 4 and bit! We were at the vet today getting her first dental cleaning (preventative - her teeth are great) and she weighs in at 22.9 pounds. We love her to bits - actually everyone she meets is a new friend. After I...

Yes she is a sable merle.

Haven't been on here in ages and thought I would post a photo of Miss Hanna I took just a little earlier today. She is such a wonderful dog, still as sweet as ever. I'm amazed at how well she listens to us considering we only ever did the one obedience course. We are not fenced here and not...

Lovely photos!

that's a great idea. I often groom Hanna out on the back deck and just let the fur fly over the railing. The chicadees are pretty quick to pick it up.

She is lovely!

The advantix is applied in two or 3 spots along the back - it is not possible for her to lick those areas. I do have a cat, and while they do play together - there is no mutual grooming going on - still for the first 24 hours after application I do keep a pretty good watch. It's a difficult...

When we lived in Alberta we didn't use anything for our shelties and never ever saw a tick. Here in Ontario, our house is next to a Provincial Park where there are deer and lots of ticks. I used Revolution for the last 2 years and it was not uncommon for me to pull half a dozen off her after a...

Congrats. I considered a papillon when we were looking for Hanna but none were available in our area. There is one that visits at the nursing home and she's just wonderful. They are a great little dog. He is a beauty!

Hanna weighs 19 pounds and is about 14.5" at the shoulders. Vet thinks she should be around 16 pounds, but I disagree, I can see her waist looking down from the top and she has a really big coat which makes her look bigger than she is under all that fur. She gets a measured 2/3 cup of kibble (...
