Sunny Saturday #22-”Rockhead”

Sunny had a GReat week this week-I’m starting to see things we’ve been working hard on in our training really click for him. We’ve enjoyed a little break from the heat this week to get some hiking in and we spent a lot of time in the yard. Sunny is learning to watch us garden …

Sad.

Yesterday I had a bad day. I woke up and peed blood. Other than that, I was my usual happy self just like I have been all week. Concerned, my humans  whisked  me off to my vet and they sent me to a specialist. After a battery of tests we know that my left kidney …

Spry Old Dog.

Yesterday I went for my weekly acupuncture treatment. Dr. George gives me a rub before we get started. Ah, that’s the spot! I was practically asleep after that. See that container by my head? It’s full of tasty treats! I felt really good after my session and was ready to play when I got home. …

Meditation For Dogs.

I feel pretty good this week. I think my  acupuncture  and Adequan treatments are helping a lot. So I played a lot and then I relaxed a lot. I like to chill on my West Paws nap bed. It’s nice and portable too so we roll it up and take it with us to my …

More Tiny Needles.

In Loving Memory of Ben & Jerry.

  Ben & Jerry, April 28 – June 30, 2008   This post is from Spencer’s human mom: Life rarely ends like a movie…where everyone lives happily ever after. Yesterday was one of those days when it was painfully reminded to us. At 4pm yesterday afternoon we had to say goodbye to Ben & Jerry. …

Pups In Need.

Check Up.

Today I went to see Dr. Hernandez, my vet, for my check up. She works at Pet Medical Center in Santa Monica and she takes really good care of me. I jumped in the car and was ready to go. As usual I ended up waiting for the humans to get ready. They are so …
