    Need vibes:(

    I'll ask at our upcoming appointment and update you. They did a fluid draw on the mass and tested the cells bit I'm unsure of the exact test.

    Need vibes:(

    Thanks so much everyone. At our last check up we got the sample back as low risk for cancer yay. However we also didn't get any answers yet, so the vet wanted to extend the antibiotics which finished today. At her last check up all of her lymp nods were swollen:( but only one mass...

    Need vibes:(

    So worried about our newly adopted 13 month old German Shepherd Teeka. We took her to the vet last week as she presented with sudden onset limping and a swollen back leg. She had a fever, and a huge mass on her lymp nods. We did blood work and x rays and both were sent off to the...

    Our New Adoption: Teeka!

    After 6 months of searching for a friendly and outgoing dog to adopt, we finally found our new girl this past week! Unfortunately her owner has been very ill and couldn't keep up with her 10 month old puppy. She did grow up with kids visiting, dogs in the home and a cat. Duke and I went...

    Setting up a successful vet interaction?

    Thank you so much for lots of great discussion. I had heard so many amazing things about this vet, everyone is human and everyone has bad days. In the mean time I completely agree with everything you said blackrose among others, there's lots of work we can do to help Odie be more prepared...

    Half Doxie/Jack Russel Puppy with issues

    I think choice training would help her a lot so that she doesn't necessarily have to respond at such extreme's to try and get the outcome that matters to her. She may be sensitive and holding her is uncomfortable at this time or unpleasent, for whatever reason. I think it's important to...

    Need some help!!!

    It is overwhelming at first, but there's tons you can do I would focus on all of the things you love about your puppy and write them down on a weekly basis, make a short list of things your going to work on. For barking in the crate, remember your puppy's had a lot of changes on the go, and...

    Fear Periods GAH!!

    Setting up a successful vet interaction?

    Curious how many have had what they would consider bad experiences with vets? I loved my old vet in Ontario, but recently moved to Northern Alberta and just had a fairly unpleasant experience with a vet I had heard so many good things about. I can be assertive, but I'm mostly a laid back...

    Breeds you would have never considered owning until you met one

    Standard Poodle's. I hadn't had very much exposure to them, but once I met them I totally fell in love. They are so rough in their play style that I can see why a lot of dogs are like woah dude...no but they are soo silly and hilarious and brilliant. I'm not sure if everyone realizes...

    Has Chaz slowed down in posts? Or is it me?

    I really enjoy reading Chaz and I think it's always ebbed and flowed at least over the last 8 years I've been reading:) So grateful for the amazing support I got for my first puppy Duke whose turning 9 years old this summer!!!

    RIP Dingo, what a bizarre day

    I am so sorry for your friends loss that is terrifying:( I've just moved to Northern Alberta, and we have a hungry cougar in the area, about a month ago directly across the road from us (300 m) a cougar went after a horse which to me seems like they must have been pretty hungry and without...

    Hike today

    I love your photos!! I just moved from Mississauga and I really miss hiking up that way! We don't have red's here in Northern Alberta in the fall (not that it's not still beautiful), it's so cool to see the sand dunes! Your dog's are so lucky to have such an awesome human to take them hiking:)
