Today is my first day back in the salon, and I just want to ask everyone for a little patience and understanding as I work my way through all of the messages and appointments I had to cancel last week.

I’m doing my best to get back to everyone as quickly as I can.

I also want to apologize in advance if I get emotional when I see you. I’m going to try my very best not to cry, but the truth is, Wendel was my whole world. 💔

For those of you who knew him, loved him, watched him grow, or simply knew how much he meant to me, seeing you without him here is going to be incredibly hard.

Just Fur Dogs has always been more than a grooming salon to me, and Wendel was such a huge part of my life and my business. His absence is felt everywhere. He was born the same month and year I opened the salon.

So please bare with me if I’m a little emotional, if I need a moment, if your appointment takes a little longer because I broke down, or if I shed a few tears. I’m trying my best to find my way in a world without Wendel, while continuing to do what I love and take care of all of your beautiful dogs.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and most of all, for understanding.

I’m back. One day at a time. 🥺

Wendel Update! 💙

Yesterday was round #3 of chemo, and my boy did absolutely FANTASTIC, as always! 🥰 Wendel is such a rockstar at the vet. I think working in a vet clinic with him for 6 years probably helped prepare him for this whole adventure.

The oncologist said Wendel hasn’t officially gone into remission yet. Usually, remission happens within the first few treatments, so we’re still watching closely. BUT… the lump in his mouth AND the one on his paw are shrinking! So clearly, the chemo is doing something! ❤️

And honestly, he’s handling everything SO well. His poops are solid, his appetite hasn’t changed at all. He a little slower but that’s to be expected. He’s 11 and fighting cancer. So far, Wendel has had ONE moment where he vomited, and it was mostly water. The prednisone he started when my home vet first noticed his enlarged lymph nodes makes him drink and p*e A LOT more, and he’s currently being weaned off of it. He’s also lost 3lbs. The oncologist isn’t concerned about the vomit or the weight loss, which is a huge relief.

Next Thursday we’re heading back to Ottawa, and then we get to take a whole week off! 🥳 We’ll be back at the oncologist on September 9th to start the same four-treatment cycle all over again.

I also just want to say how incredible the staff at the Animal Emergency & Specialty Hospital have been. They have made us feel so comfortable, welcomed and cared for every time we’re there. It makes such a stressful situation a little bit easier. ❤️

And my boy… my Wendel. 🥹 He is such a fighter, and I am so damn proud of him. I couldn’t ask for a better partner through all of this.

To everyone who continues to support us, check in on him, send messages, donate, share our posts, cheer him on, or simply keep him in your thoughts — thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

Keep fighting, Wendel. One treatment at a time. We’ve got this. 💙

ATTENTION - A Little Schedule Update 🐾

As many of you know, Wendel has started his chemotherapy journey, and right now, he needs his mama by his side. ❤️

Because of his upcoming chemo appointments, Just Fur Dogs will be closed on Thursdays until August 27th. After August 27th, I will be OPEN on Thursdays as usual.

Starting September 9th, I will then be closed every Wednesday while Wendel continues his chemotherapy treatments. His chemo protocol is expected to continue into January, so the Wednesday closures will remain in place until his treatments are complete.

If you have appointments on these days I will be contacting you soon to reschedule your appointments.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these schedule changes may cause and truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. This is such an important time for me and my boy, and I want to be able to be there for him every step of the way. 🥹💙

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so incredibly supportive of Wendel and of me throughout this journey. Your kindness, understanding, messages, and love have meant more than I could ever put into words.

Thank you for allowing me the time to take care of my heart dog. 🐾💙
