Bringing this photoshoot back to share her big news…

Short story:
Tessa needs surgery 😞😩😭

Long story:
Almost two years ago to the date, a doctor started a conversation with “let me show you what hips are supposed to look like.” She was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and a medical management plan was set up for her. Up until recently, that plan was working so well. With her heart condition diagnosis at the end of the summer, we attributed her slowing down the past few months to her age and heart condition. It wasn’t until she started limping intermittently that I decided a vet visit was warranted. I was more so worried about a cruciate tear; at this point, I wish that’s what I had heard.
In two years, Tessa’s hips have worsened to the point our amazing vet felt as though an orthopaedic consult would be ideal. While we waited for the appointment, we set her up on any pain and anti inflammatory medications that we could.
We had our surgery consult on Tuesday and there’s one thing that the surgeon said that I just cannot get out of my head; “you have exhausted all medical management options.”
So now, in the new year, we will be going to see a different orthopaedic surgeon to consult on a Total Hip Replacement…
Unfortunately, there are only a few options for THR’s but thankfully, this is a surgeon I used to work with when working in Toronto!
Why am I considering this, at her age, when she has a heart condition? First, I’m trying to get all of our options. I want Tessa to be happy and comfortable all the time and this is the only way we can get her back to that.

Even just writing this post, I can feel the judgement. I can also feel the support that we are about to have and that’s why I am sharing where we are in Tessa’s story.

All I ask, if you have read this all, is to be kind. I’m weighing my options and getting all the information possible to do what’s best for her.

While I wait for her consult, book your dogs for overnight stays with me, day visits or walks! Tessa is ready to spend the money; just wait till you hear the estimate if surgery is a go 🙈😅

TATER TOOTERS RAFFLE

As many of you know, Tater underwent surgery for his hind left leg just 7.5 weeks ago. Unfortunately, surgery did not hold and he is having a second surgery done on Monday to fix the original issue and to also clear out some scaring from the initial surgery. Waiting to do the surgery was sadly not an option; we don’t want his leg to continue to heal incorrectly!

So, to help me fund his second surgery, it’s time for a raffle! Here’s how it works:

When: Now until Wednesday, November 27th at 7pm
What: 2 items: (1) $100 Gift Card to anywhere of your choosing AND/OR (2) $100 Gift Card for Trauzzi & Co (can be overnight, day visit or walks)!

Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10. Enter by sending an etransfer to [email protected]. In the message of the etransfer, please make sure to include which raffle you are entering!!

If you aren’t able to enter, please share! No matter what, this boy is getting his surgery, but this will just help me give him even more of what he needs and deserves while recovering ❤️

Thank you for loving Tater and I 🥰🥰

First two are what the world sees, last one is what I see 😂😂

I want my happy, sassy adventure boy back! Sadly, at the beginning of the week, we found out that we will be waiting longer than we thought for this…

over the weekend, I noticed that Tater seemed more painful and that some of his improvement since surgery had regressed. I also noticed that his patella was able to move laterally again, not by too much, but it shouldn’t be able to move laterally at all.

On Tuesday, we went back to Toronto, just eight weeks post surgery, and his surgeon confirmed that unfortunately Tater’s surgery “failed”.

We now have two options; redo surgery, but in a different, more invasive way (but has a better prognosis) or Tater becomes a wheelchair boy (but still with the pain/discomfort that his left leg has).

The decision has been made and we are just 10 days away from Tater’s second surgery over an 8 weeks span. Unfortunately, surgery needs to happen sooner than later so that his leg does not continue to heal incorrectly.

I will be posting a raffle later today to hopefully help me raise some of the funds for this surgery. While I knew his original surgery could fail, we didn’t expect for it to happen so soon and for him to need another surgery within the same year. We are doing anything we can to be able to give him everything he deserves.

please make sure to send my little man all your love. He sure can use it 😭💛

After 337 days together, Reese has flown the HQ coop!
This boy has been in our rescue for 745 days. Over 2 years!!
In his first year, Reese had two foster homes and would stay at our place on and off when he would need a sitter or when he was in search of his second foster home, but over the last year is when our relationship truly built.

I say it about a lot of my dogs, basically all of them; Reese is such a good boy! He was surrendered to a kill shelter before he was even a year old with a letter from his elderly owner who admitted that he was too much energy for her and deserved better. Since then, Reese has worked with 4 different trainers and is now fortunate enough to be fostered by 😍

Reese if full of potential, smiles and energy. Give him a ball and this boy is entertained for the entire day!

I cannot wait to see what he gets up to with Hannah, but even more, I cannot wait to see if we can finally find him his forever family!! 💛

Baby boy restarts rehab today!!

After 7 months off of rehab, 2 custom legs made and 1 surgery, we are back to where we started last November. It’s been super hard to watch Tater’s regression back to being totally dependent on us, but he’s a tough monster. He’s going to visit his rehab friends twice a week, go swimming, get laser treatment and get stronger! He’s going to be able to walk again soon - we know he can do it so I’ll do anything to get him back to that!

Hope his cheerleaders are ready 😘😘

After 572 days together, my girl has flown the coop! Kiya is still available for adoption, but, at least she has a foster home where she is the only dog to be spoiled! ❤️

This girl is nothing short of amazing. She has been overlooked for the past year and a half, and although I wanted to send her off to her forever family myself, I also wanted her to have opportunities that I couldn’t give her. Kiya is a boxer, so of course we had a special relationship, and I’m so happy that I was able to be a part of her journey, but I am even more excited about the journey that she is currently on with her new foster parents!!

Kiya should not still be in rescue. She is such a smart girl with so much potential. She has so much love to give, and so many smiles to make. It really does blow my mind that she is still looking for a family. She doesn’t ask for much, just adventures and a soft couch to sleep on!!

She is a bouncy girl and is fully ecollar trained, off leash trained and always down to play!

I hope with her moving to her new foster home, she is seen in a new light; One that will find her her way to her forever family 💛

Please share Kiya’s story to help us find her forever people!!

There won’t ever be another cow like you 💛

Thank you for being so perfect.
Thank you for helping all the dogs that you did.
Thank you for being my best supervisor at work, alongside of Hector.
Thank you for licking away all our tears.
Most of all, thank you for bringing your parents into my life. Without you, our family wouldn’t be what it is today and it will never be the same without you.

Cuddle close to Hector for me 🖤🖤

Happy FIRST birthday to our baby bean!!

She’s the craziest, most ball obsessed, absolute sweetest after fiend and I don’t know if I could love her more. Don’t get me wrong, she drives me crazy, but she makes me feel sane 😉

Huge thank you to for trusting us with this little nervy girl! Adopting her and Tater was stupid but the best decision 💛💛

Can’t wait for all our years to come Trixie girl!!!

Now Vs Then

Little man is growing up!

In November, shortly after I brought him home, Tater was only 34.9lbs. Now, he is a weighing in at 43lbs which means that he is up 8lbs. I am so proud of him - it’s not easy for a disabled dog to put on the weight, let alone one as active as I encourage him to be!

We are also almost certain that he is younger than we had thought. The second photo is when we first got him in November and the first one is from our most recent camping trip!

What do you think? How old would you say he is in the second photo?

“I need a vacation from my vacation” 😅

After eight days away, this week is anything short of a relaxing one. To start off our first day back in the swing of things, Tessa had to a follow up appointment after her food bloat incident about two weeks ago.

When Tessa had food bloat, unfortunately, but very much fortunately, a heart condition was found by a good vet friend of ours. After doing some initial diagnostics before leaving for our vacation, a different but amazing vet friend of ours was able to confirm that it appeared as though Tessa had Atrial fibrillation.

I have never dealt with heart issues when it comes to any of my dogs. So, although I was happy to be on vacation, I couldn’t wait to get home for Tessa to be able to have a cardiac ultrasound today to determine what is going on with her heart and I might be able to help her.

Tessa went in for her cardiac ultrasound earlier today, and I am waiting on the official report, which will hopefully be in tomorrow. Based on what the doctor was able to say without the report, things are looking good, and I am trying to be optimistic, but also making sure to stay realistic and prepared for the worst (as most dog moms do)!

Fingers crossed that the report comes back with her heart condition being secondary to her stomach issues and nothing more than that ❤️

Dog procedure 1/4 of the week ✅

So thankful for such amazing dogtors in our life 💛💛

About Us

A little bit about me, I have been working in the dog world for over 7 years now. It started when my family dog was having behavioural issues and we needed to seek professional training for him. Once I left for university, I was missing both my dog and working with him which is when I got into fostering. I successfully trained 3 service dogs and have had over 75 foster dogs in my care, some of which being feral puppies, some with behavioural issues and others just happy to be living the good home life!

I previously worked at a boarding kennel for two years and have now been working at an emergency vet hospital for over two years now. From working at both these places, I have seen how stressed dogs can get in the kennel setting and realized how important it is to make dogs feel just as at home in my care, as they are with their family!

As well, I am a returning student of University of Guelph, after going back and forth and even majoring in Animal Biology and minoring in Nutrition, as I have decided becoming a vet is where my heart belongs.

I currently live in my home with 3 of my dogs; Bebe who is a 14 years old husky mix, Hector who is 9 years old boxer and Kyrie who is a 5 year old mastiff mix. Each have taught me so much about dogs and dog behaviour, and with my mastiffs, I have even done formal training to help with some of the behavioural issues that they have gone through. I am committed to doing the same for you and your pup while they enjoy their stay with us :)
