Love, Licks, Slobbers & Pillars of strength!

Its a special day, Mom says...to make sure you tell those in your life how much you love them.

Today, in the interwebs, lots of our blogger friends are pulling together to show our support for our furriend K who is fighting osteosarcoma. Unfortunately, Mom has had her own fair share of experience with stupid osteosarcoma. Both of her first Danes, Bristol & Tyler, both had it.

Bristol's was first found in a rib...but had spread all over her body by the time it was noticable. Mom lost her just 3 weeks after her diagnosis...but Bristol lived to the ripe old age of 11 years, which is pretty good for us giant dogs!

Tyler's showed up in his back foot. He fought it for several months, but soon his foot got too painful and Mom had to say goodbye. He was only 8 when he went to the Rainbow Bridge.

K's Mom, KB, has an amazing blog, Romping & Rolling in the Rockies, and its obvious how much she loves her boy, R, and her special girl, K. You can see amazing wildlife photos...bears, bobcats, mountain lions...you name it, she's captured it with her photos. And of course, there are the K & R stories photos. She captures their joy and enthusiasm in every photo she takes, and often they are surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Lately, her challenges with the cancer have also been part of her blog. KB's honesty about her fears in dealing with this challenge hit home with all of us who have faced that battle before. That's why we are honoring her and K on this special day.

The power of the paw is strong...we've all seen its amazing work when Maxdog got bad sickies a few years ago. It continues to work with Wilf as well, he is going strong and living life to the fullest despite a grim diagnosis over a year ago.

So, on this special day we just want to say to all our special furriends, we love you!

Wordless Wednesday

 

Neighbordog!

15 minutes of fame!

A film crew came out to film our Leash Your Fitness class this morning.

They are filming a video segment for a show called Natural Companions. Its not on a lot of networks yet, but you can find it on Dish TV and Veria.

They were super nice and took lots of video and still shots of all of us as we worked out. I had to be on my best behavior!

I even got suited up with my very OWN camera! It should be fun to see what kind of vi-dog-grapher I am! BOL!

Can't wait until it airs! Its suppose to be out sometime during the summer...so as soon as I find out when, I'll be sure to let you know!

Ciao Bella! Trisha's got a new home!

Little Trisha said farewell to us today. She went to live with a new family...one of her very own!

She sure was sweet. I think she looked up to me...in more ways than one! BOL!

I'm gonna miss her, but I'm sure glad she was able to find her own family!

Little Miss Trisha

We got another foster dog last Friday. I didn't introduce you to her right away cuz Mom wasn't sure she was gonna work out. She was terrified of the kitTONs at first and it seemed very traumatizing (for both the kitTONs and Trisha!) to have her in the house.

Fergie KitTON din't help the situation. She's kind of a diva and can be grumpy with new dogs in the house. She's not afraid and will hiss and growl and swat at anyone who comes near her. This terrified Trisha and even if Fergie didn't touch her...Trisha would yelp and cry as if she were being murdered. Go figure...she wasn't afraid of me at all even though I outweigh her by 140 lbs!!

That was last Friday and into Saturday. By Sunday though, Trisha was starting to get used to the kitTONs and vice versa. Now, if Phoebe comes lays with her on the couch...she snuggles a little closer. Its super cute!

She's currently got a horrible case of kennel cough. She started coughing on Monday and sounds like a wild goose! Mom's been giving her some Makuna Honey, a little cough syrup and antibiotics to help her get over her cough. Slowly but surely she is starting to sound better.

Mom had one potential adopter contact her early in the week...but then she got an email from the woman saying she'd changed her mind. No worries though! Mom & Trisha are meeting 2 more families tomorrow who may want to make her part of their family. Cross your paws that she finds a new home!!
