Little dog syndrome is a well known phrase, but is it fair?

After all, if they are ignored when they tell us things they need - including safety, what choice do these little ones have when they are scared?

Thinking about pet insurance? Do it! I have insurance for Star, I wish I had gotten insurance for Astro when he was younger!
Here is my link

I'm a fan of Trupanion and thought you might be interested! They offer the most comprehensive medical insurance for cats and dogs, and I have a policy for my own peace of mind. With Trupanion by my side, my pet gets the best care when they need it most.

"In a testament to the excellent care Cosley Zoo’s animals receive, many of them live well beyond the average lifespan of their wild counterparts. Regular veterinary care, reliable shelter, daily enrichment, and incredible nutrition provide them with everything they need to thrive into old age. However, old age often presents geriatric-induced medical conditions such as arthritis, cataracts, or even cancer— just like in the healthiest of humans.

Unable to survive in the wild, our coyote, Wiley, has been in our care for the past 10 years. At 11 years of age, he is considered geriatric. The average lifespan of a wild coyote is approximately 4 years, with up to 60% of wild coyotes not surviving their first year of life. Due to his advanced age, Wiley experiences arthritis, a condition which is closely monitored and assisted by his care team through regular observations, data reviews, and medical treatment.

Wiley is trained to voluntarily present his hip along his fencing so that he may receive monthly injections to alleviate arthritis-based pain, a care plan commonly seen in domestic dogs— but a little more complicated to carry out with a wild animal! Due to his excellent positive reinforcement-based training, this is “no-big-deal” for Wiley, who gets lots of snacks for helping us care for him."❤️

Hi Friends

I lost my Mom on Tuesday morning 💔

I may need to move/reschedule some classes and private training over the next week while I see to all the things. I will email ahead of time to make arrangements where needed.

Thank you for your understanding ❤️
