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!!!

Here’s another now vs then for you because Trixie is almost 1 year old 😭😭

My little adventure lady isn’t so little anymore!

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 💛💛

Results pending…

Our dogs can’t seem to catch a break!

Tessa is currently being hospitalized at .estates.animal.hospital and I’m an emotional wreak about it!!

So much has gone on over the last few days with Tessa. After a diagnosis of food float on Sunday, by Sunday night, she wasn’t doing much better but after a call with the doctors, we decided to monitor her overnight to see if it was a potential reaction to sedation or the fact that she had had such a rough day.

On Monday, she still wasn’t completely herself, but was doing better. But, in the afternoon, she was having diarrhoea with quite a bit of blood. Our hope, along with her doctors recommendation, was that if it continued to happen, we would be able to put her on an antibiotic to help comfort her stomach.

Unfortunately, last night, she got much worse quite quickly and after talking with the vet team, it was best to bring her in. They repeated x-rays and found something suspicious in her stomach. They were not 100% sure what they were seeing so they decided to keep her overnight and repeat the x-rays this morning. Unfortunately, her x-rays this morning showed pretty much the same thing. Tonight she will be having a specialist come in to do an ultrasound on her to see if she potentially has a foreign body, if there is even more food left in her system or something else is going on.

Here’s hoping that after a very big vet bill, she will just get to come home, not need surgery and we will be able to laugh about this by tomorrow ❤️❤️

Muzzle training… I knew I loved training, but who knew I could fall in love while training 😅 Can anyone say “Courtney’s in trouble”…?

Just had such a good workout... look at how much I’m sweating!! Just kidding... unfortunately I have been incontinent since my chemotherapy yesterday so mom gave me a hose down because she said I smell like pee. How rude... All joking aside, Diesel is doing okay since his chemotherapy yesterday and his biggest struggle has been with his incontinence. He is also eating less again but that did happen last time as well. I did however promise him ice cream on Thursday if he starts to feel better so let’s hope his body is able to tell cancer to f*** off enough for us to be able to do that! ❤️

There were multiple things in this video that I wanted to mention which is why I didn’t want to just post this one on my story! To start, please be as excited as I am that Diesel is now officially in our pack. He comes on our nightly walks, goes outside with my pups throughout the day, and hangs out with us at night before we go to sleep. Yes he is still muzzled but that’s because both him and Tessa are dummies ❤️ Next up are these leashes! Note the one I’m walking Diesel on. For those of you with multiple dogs, this leash is great! I asked @dapper.dingo to make me a custom leash that was only two feet so that I don’t have as much leash dragging from all 3 of the leashes and she killed it! This one also links to my hands free belt to make walks even easier! For those of you who have the leash coupler, you can actually do this already 😃 Lastly, please note that Tessa is hooked onto nothing more than my belt loop... this reactive dog has come so far and to say I’m proud is an understatement!! Because I can’t leave Hector out- look at how perfect he is being on the walk with his lovely yellow leash from @tangosleadcaninerescue 🥰 Thank you all for being proud of my pups with me! P.S. note Diesel’s new collar from @dapper.dingo that has given him the new name of Scooby 💕

Most people won’t realize how big of a deal this is but Kora’s mom and I sure as hell do! Kora and I have worked hard to get to this point. Over the last 7 months, Kora and I have practiced on a weekly basis and have gone from needing to be sedated and muzzled, to this. We now do one paw at a time, and although she still will not accepts treats while we do it, she will happily wait for some love and treats afterwards! This is huge for this girl and I couldn’t be prouder!! Also, I am happy to note that she is close to losing 20lbs (in a healthy weight lose program) over the last 7 months while with me 💕 Love you goober 😘

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 :)
