Going forward, I will be using my “scary dog” privilege on every walk. And here’s why.

At first, I was mortified. I told myself that I wasn’t going to tell anyone outside of my home. I found myself questioning what I did to welcome this into my life.

Back in April, when on a walk with some dogs, I was approached by a lone, older man in a park. I thought I was being kind, having an innocent conversation. But things got weirder, and I felt unsettled. I tried to leave but this man followed. While I was secretly texting a description of him to people who keep me safe, I was also trying to get someone on the phone to give me an out from the situation. Somehow, somewhere in our interaction this man felt as though there was an invitation to touch my hind end. I was able to walk away with my dogs, but he continued to follow. When I finally went to my car, after avoiding it so he didn’t see it, I didn’t feel as though I could go home. I should have reported this situation then, but my brain dismissed it.

I later found out that this man was recently released after being found n**e in this same park. Again, my brain dismissed it.

The other day, I was called twice and texted from an unknown number. Given my business and rescue are operated from the same phone, I didn’t answer. Now I have even more of a reason to follow my self made rule of not answering unknown numbers. Turns out, it was the same man from the park. He knew it was my birthday, specifically my 30th. He said he went to the park and looked for me…

The police have now been involved and he has been arrested, charged but released. Although I know my dogs will keep me safe, I shouldn’t need them to make sure of that. I shouldn’t be in that situation and I shouldn’t feel the need to involve them in it either. I shouldn’t have to change what I do day in and out. I shouldn’t feel the need to remind women to stay safe and always be aware of their surroundings; to have a plan in place in case of a situation like this. I shouldn’t be nervous to leave my house. I shouldn’t be losing sleep. I’m fine, but this isn’t okay.

Please let this be a reminder - no negative interaction is too small to tell someone about.

Little stinker aka little chicken aka little man 🐣

You fought so hard and cuddled even harder. You stole our hearts within minutes and I hope you felt all the love that we have for you.

You deserved the chance after being failed and we are so lucky that allowed us to be the ones to spoil you when you needed it most. You were given the best possible chance to get through this and I will forever be grateful to have had you in our world!

Leaving this morning, I did not expect for that to be the last time I would get to see you. I truly hope that Kora and Hector have you tucked in tight and are keeping you safe for us 💛

All my love to the best little stinker 💛💛

Here we go, round 2. This time, we’re hopefully prepared for everything.

As you may have seen, last month, Tessa was supposed to have a big surgery; a Total Hip Replacement (THR). Unfortunately, while completing her hospital intake, Tessa had a complication related to her heart condition and collapsed in the reception area. Thankfully, after being assessed, Tessa was able to come home. We decided it was best to cancel surgery and determine what would be in her best interests (surgery vs management).

After speaking with her cardiologist and her surgeon, we have made the decision that it is in her best interest to go through with surgery. We have rescheduled surgery for March 18th with the following protocols in place:

- A holter monitor will be placed the night before surgery to monitor her heart. Should she have another collapse episode, it will be caught and we will be able to determine how to manage her heart condition from there.
- Tessa will not be going to the clinic on any sedatives. We do not want to lower her heart rate and potentially cause a spike like last time
- Tessa will get to use the employees entrance so she doesn’t have to sit in reception during the intake process. Her and I will be put directly into a room from there.
- Tessa will likely come home after 24 hours in hospital rather than staying multiple days. This will limit the number of potential reactions to other animals that will be at the clinic. We cannot ask them not to allow any other pets around her of course - it’s not possible in any clinic.

I will be trying to keep my composure during all of this. My decision has not come lightly, but I cannot watch her continue to lose her hind end function without giving her the chance due to fear.

Now more than ever, we could use all the support and all the good vibes in the world! Bessie is a strong girl and I’ll be holding on to that fact so tightly over the next few days 💛

I don’t know why I’ve been dreading posting about what happened a week ago and why Tess didn’t get surgery. I mean, she’s home safe and after everything, I didn’t even think that was going to happen.

As many of you know, Tessa was booked in to have a Total Hip Replacement on Tuesday morning of last week. We drove to Toronto, arrived safely and were filling out paperwork to fully admit her to the hospital. While completing the forms, a dog came into the clinic barking and causing a commotion. Tessa did not like it (she can be dog reactive if provoked) and started to bark and growl at it. Seconds later, she collapsed and that’s when all of our plans changed.

Thankfully, the clinic had staff out to help her and I very quickly, they took her to the treatment area and got her set up on monitors and waited for her surgeon to assess her. The collapse was caused due to a syncope episode and is likely from multiple factors; going on a car ride, being in a clinic, being on a sedative and reacting to a dog (heart rate going from low to high extremely fast).

After chatting with both the surgeon, emergency doctor and Tessa’s cardiologist, we decided to cancel her surgery.

Since then, lots has happened and I feel as though I could easily overshare. But I know it could be so helpful for people to know what to do in these situations! So, do you want to know what’s going on with Tessa and what some of the decisions are that her team and I have made?

** I will be posting an update later on for where this leaves us surgery wise and how she’s been ever since ❤️

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 :)
