Today, I accompanied mawm to the dentist. She really needed me so I did my absolute bestest and now I get to relax all evening. The dentist is a weird place. It sounded like the clippers mawm uses on my belly but lots of flashlights and water? Humans are strange. I is Norman and I is needed (for whatever that was) and I is loved.

11 years with my best friend and my once in a lifetime dog. What better way to celebrate your birthday than on the beach with your best friends and near the water- one of your favourite things.
You have accomplished and experienced so much more than I ever knew was possible. You’ve swam in the oceans on both sides on Canada, swam in glacial water, hiked the Rockies, travelled internationally with me, flew on several planes, been on boats and trains as well, completed service dog training, did many years of therapy work…. the list goes on and on.
Each year that goes by, I find it harder to describe you because you are so intricately special. Anyone who has met you knows exactly what I mean. The more I talk to you, the more you understand. Your ability to read the room is something I never thought was possible for a dog. You watch me so closely and know how to respond. You are a GOOD boy. We fit together like puzzle pieces. You are for me and I am for you.
I still don’t know what I did to deserve YOU but I continue my hardest to give you everything.
Happy 11th birthday Stormin’ Norman 💛
For his birthday, Norman would love if you could share his post so more people can learn about him and Norman also wants you to do something special with your pup today!! Spread happinesss and joy. Next up- cheeseburger!

The prints carefully outlining your paws in the sand with each step you take,
I laugh to myself and wonder if someone will think there was an exceptionally cute polar bear here
The grey and white hair whisping around in the breeze without a direction in mind,
How can something be majestic and silly at the same time?
The way that you look around and sincerely take in the view,
I know you’re present
The way your pink eyes look back at me to make sure I’m still with you,
I smiled back at you
These small moments are everything , and they are perfectly ours.

A dog shaped lake 🐾💛
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.”
Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.” Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you will probably understand phases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.”
So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog.” just smile, because they “just don’t understand.”

Beautiful afternoon stroll followed by a nap 💛 I love you to the moon and back my sweet boy. #oldenglishsheepdog #ilovemydog #dogs
Silly dragon!
More running dreams and drying off after his bath. Tonight we brush and bond ❤️ https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-stormin-normans-fight
My sweet boy fell asleep on his walk tonight 💛 so peaceful.
Dreaming of running in his sleep. Soon baby, soon!
A little sunshine for your evening ❤️
sweet dishevelled boy ❤️ those are my bright eyes 🥺❤️❤️🙏🏻
Look Ma, no tubes!!
Look Ma, no tubes!!
I see little glimpses of my boy coming back. It’s hard not to get my hopes up. For anyone who is loved by an Old English Sheepdog, you would know that after sneaking in a memory foam bed, and making everything comfortable and perfect- that he would crawl his way onto the cold floor in front of the fan 😵💫😂. If you watch him breathing, you can at least see that he is feeling comfortable. I’m waiting to talk to the vet again tomorrow before posting any results so I understand things more clearly. This is a very complex case and I have many questions. Unfortunately, it was insanely busy in the ICU tonight and I wanted them to focus on the doggies who’s needed the vets attention. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully I get to see more and more of my boy come through. He still isn’t walking and that’s really hard to deal with right now but I just know he’s going to surprise me.
My sweet baby boy.. tomorrow we do a re check to see if your body is doing its job and if the antibiotics are working. You are so strong and it makes my heart peaceful to know that you are resting comfortably with me beside you with your head on my pillow. I haven’t seen you this relaxed since this nightmare began. A wonderful tech brought you outside to breathe in some fresh air and put beautiful flowers in your hair. What a special person she is, doing for me what I cannot do while we are apart. Please pray and send positive thoughts for good results tomorrow, we really need this.
Update: My precious boy convinced the staff to upgrade him to a giant “quiet” room within the ICU but it has a door. With his own personal fan, of course. He is so content in here and this is a video of him sleeping peacefully after his pain med dose. He has been a bit restless and trying super hard not to have FOMO with all of the fun techs, so this has been so nice for him. I am also able to spend more time with him. Last night he ate for me again (spoon fed) and let me groom him. He fell asleep on my leg while I was grooming him. I’m sure it made him feel normal and relaxed. He loves being brushed. I am guarded but we got some good news yesterday. We were able to find an antibiotic that should work against the kidney infection and hopefully deal with that abscess as well on the prostate. We will know more when we do his ultrasound on Friday morning. Another piece of good news. The FNA we got of the original abscess that came back is not growing anything in the lab so far for the preliminaries. So if it continues in this direction, we may not need to do anything with it. I got a call this morning before I head there that he did well overnight and there is a wonderful tech he is eating for. He has bonded with her and they said he looks bright this morning. That’s the first time I’ve heard them say that. They had to take his catheter out because they were having trouble keeping it clean now that Norman is moving around more … so we will see how he does and hopefully no more incontinence. We can always place it back if we need to. The nice thing about having it out is that the antibiotics can really clear things up without still having it in and worrying about that causing more infection. The very guarded goals right now are for the antibiotic to work with the kidney infection and obliterate the abscess on his prostate, for the first abscess to continue growing nothing, and for the ultrasound to come back with nothing but good news (Friday morni
Norman is in the ICU. Everything is on the table at this point. 😭
My heart and soul doing things we love together 💛🌊 the trust this dog has in me is something I don’t think I’ll ever see again in my lifetime.
Sheepdogs are not very good at backing up 😂
The best way to spend a Saturday morning together. Sometimes you just need a break to take in the small moments. Norman knows how to do that best!
Oh, to be a Norman. “Dogs live in the moment. They don’t regret the past or worry about the future. If we can learn to appreciate and focus on what’s happening here and now, we’ll experience the richness of living that animals enjoy.” - CM
You’re where I wanna go
We live for the small moments in time 💜 #oldenglishsheepdog #ilovemydog #dog #dogsthatexplore #lavender
