I had my girl spayed at six months, way back in 2002. She just passed at 15.7 in November, and honestly, only had incontinence issues the last...
I had a titer done when my girl was eight or nine, and she was all set for vaccines for the rest of her life. Now, with my puppy, I'm pretty sure...
Waving to you from New England!
What a beautiful boy! Nothing like new life in the house to help heal your heart. I definitely didn't feel like I was ready for a new dog after...
I've never heard of filing dog teeth done, either. I know it's super common with horses. I do think the gums look pretty angry. I almost wonder if...
I was offered Trupanion through my vet's office, but I ultimately decided against it. Knock on wood, I hope I don't reget that decision. But being...
Wow, 18! That's incredible! I was hoping to get there with my first girl, but cancer robbed us of that. I've heard such differing life spans on...
My first girl had maybe two or three toys she truly loved, minus her Kong. My boy now? OBSESSED WITH TOYS. It's such a different experience second...

I just ordered a cheek swab kit from Washington State University, it was only $60. The blood test was more, but the cheek swab provides the same...
Thanks so much for your reply! No need to pull out the records, haha! My puppy's parents are MDRI-negative as well, but my vet thought it'd be a...
Thank you for sharing! We have mice as well, field mice, who managed to build a gigantic nest in our step leading out to the back. I nearly had a...
Thank you for the link! I'm going to read it ASAP!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Cara! So much appreciated. It seems like you had a mixed 50/50 bag. Was your adult Sheltie who had the...
Thanks so much for your imput! We have a stream on our property as well, but we have a fenced in back yard and the stream is about four acres...
I'm so sorry to read about Shadow. Cancer took my Gypsy at the end of November, and I still cry saying her name. She was such a big part of my...
