Well, we made the 1.5 hour trek to Ottawa and Jasper is officially dropped off for his MRI. โค๏ธ

Unfortunately, about 15 minutes from the hospital, my car decided today wasnโ€™t stressful enough and my engine started overheating. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I genuinely didnโ€™t think I was even going to get Jasper to his appointment on time. I was already a nervous wreck worrying about his MRI and then suddenly Iโ€™m dealing with an overheating car on the side of the road, trying to figure out how the hell Iโ€™m going to get him there.

Thank GOD my dad is a mechanic and happens to be out this way today, because Iโ€™m currently sitting in the vet parking lot waiting for him to come rescue me and hopefully figure out whatโ€™s going on with my car.

Dropping Jasper off was heartbreaking. He was crying, screaming and very vocal, which is very on brand for Jasper but it still absolutely broke my heart.

Iโ€™m feeling pretty guilty because between worrying about the car, stressing about being late and rushing to get him checked in, I feel like I didnโ€™t give him the proper goodbye he deserved. I wish Iโ€™d given him a bigger hug, spent another minute with him and reassured him a little more before leaving.

So naturally, Iโ€™m now sitting alone in my car crying and beating myself up over it. Apparently, my punishment for not giving him a big enough goodbye is a full emotional breakdown in a veterinary parking lot. ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m not going to lie, my nerves are absolutely shot. I havenโ€™t even eaten today and between worrying about Jasper and everything else going wrong this morning, Iโ€™m just completely emotionally drained.

BUT the end of the day, my car is replaceable. Jasper isnโ€™t. โค๏ธ

Please keep our boy in your thoughts today. Fingers, toes, and paws crossed that we get some good news from his MRI.

We could really use a win today!!

Important information for owners of dogs from our Erna z Daskonu and Fanta van de Duca Vallei lines (an Erna daughter)!

As the dogs from these litters have grown, I've gathered some concerning health information that I feel is important to share. At least one dog from each breeding combination I've done with these females, and in some cases more than one, has developed seizures or epilepsy.

I don't have answers as to why this is happening, and I can't say whether these cases share the same underlying cause. However, given the pattern I've seen, I want to make sure the owners of these dogs are aware and can make informed decisions about their health care.

One thing I'd particularly like you to discuss with your veterinarian is the use of isoxazoline flea and tick medications. The FDA has warned that medications in this class have been associated with neurological side effects, including muscle tremors, loss of coordination, and seizures. Most dogs tolerate these medications without problems, but neurological events have been reported, including in dogs with no previous history of seizures.

In one dog from a Fanta litter, a neurological event occurred after the first dose of one of these medications. That timing is worth noting, although it doesn't establish that the medication caused the event.

Products in this class include:

โ€ข Bravecto
โ€ข Credelio
โ€ข NexGard
โ€ข Simparica
โ€ข Simparica Trio

I'm sharing this information not to cause alarm or to suggest that everyone should stop using these products, but because I believe it's important for you to know what I'm seeing in these lines. Please discuss your dog's family history with your veterinarian when deciding which flea, tick, and parasite prevention is appropriate.

If your dog has experienced seizures or other neurological symptoms, please let me know. Having accurate information about these cases may help us better understand what's happening and make more informed breeding decisions going forward.

Thank you for helping me keep track of the health of these dogs. Their well-being matters, and sharing information is an important part of responsible breeding.

- Even while she was getting sick, Freya was still trying to keep watch over me. She'd thrown up and stopped wanting food, but my German Shepherd kept slowly pacing between me and the door like she was still on duty. Saturday she ate some plain food, then sat perfectly straight beside me and leaned her whole body against my legs. She even showed interest when she saw my ice cream. I convinced myself she was improving.
Sunday morning her eyes and gums were yellow and she could barely walk. We rushed her in, then drove two hours to the emergency hospital. They worked on her throughout the night, but Monday morning I had to say goodbye. I keep wondering whether going sooner would've changed anything. Maybe it would've. Maybe not. She spent her whole life watching over me. I would've given anything to save her

Bruno died a few hours ago, and I keep expecting to feel him leaning against my legs. He was 16 and a half. He went everywhere with me. At home, he'd follow me from room to room, pace if he heard something outside, then sit up perfectly straight where he could watch the door. When I was having a hard day, he'd come over and press his whole weight into me. I used to stand there with him until I felt ready to move.
My dog was there when I lost my parents and when I lost my son. I got home today and stopped in the hallway where he'd usually meet me. For a second, I waited for him. I don't know how this house can feel so empty with only one dog missing

It is with a very heavy heart we share the passing of our former rescue, Gibbs.

He came from a litter of four puppies six weeks of age we rescued โ€˜diagnosed with MegaEโ€™ in which euthanasia was recommended.

Upon intake we took them to our vet and performed our own studies.

Gibbs showed no signs and lived an otherwise normal life until he passed.

Gibbs was a loyal companion. He loved his people and pack with his whole heart. He lived life fully and told you all about it. ๐Ÿพ

He was the best big fur brother a boy could ask for and soon became the best friend and defender of his most precious little human, Daniela.

Gibbs was blessed with the best family.
They just fit.
What others couldnโ€™t understand, they did.

The love between them was one of effortless commitment.
The bond unbreakable. -
Gibbs knew where home was the day he laid eyes on them.

As our hearts break for Gibbs and his family we are forever grateful for the love and devotion you showed him.
With you, he knew without a doubt he was loved beyond measure. ๐Ÿค
