Mawm gave me a bath and trimmed my hair before our appointment. How do I look? My hair is still growing back in many places. We went today and upon the first look things looked okay but we will get the full report probably tomorrow. Mawm advocated for me to not get sedation as it really takes me a few days to bounce back from it and they agreed to try- but she knew I would listen and be fine because I’ve been getting unsedated tests my whole life! They were surprised, but I wasn’t 😉 love Norman.

Although we had a recheck at our regular vet recently, we are heading back to the university that did the original surgery for an official follow up with them as well so we can finish what we started. It is tomorrow morning. I think it’s important for everybody that is learning at the university to see what Hope can look like! I feel confident that everything is going to be OK, but I must admit that the PTSD I have going back there for something that’s not an emergency is causing my ulcer to flare up. So on our theme of hope, my hope is that we can graduate from there and never ever ever ever ever need to go back. 

Someone is happy to play in all of the snow we got ❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹 bless you sweet Norman.

I have amazing news to share …

We went to our vet for a follow up ultrasound (we will do this monthly now) and our vet said everything looks absolutely amazing, healed and stable 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ my HOPE is that 2025 will be the best year yet. My miracle boy…. OUR miracle boy- isn’t that right?

Here is Norman pictured starting to do outings with me again.

Norman has been shivering from time to time and gets cold more easily. Hopefully when he puts more weight on it won’t be as much of a problem. I got him a coat to put on outside for p*e breaks and this sweater for inside the house. I also noticed he holds his feet up in the snow outside after a minute or so- so I put boots on him. Does this happen with age or is it the muscle and weight he’s lost? It’s only 74 lbs after everything, he should be around 85-88 which is how I prefer him (slender and not remotely overweight for his joints). We live in Canada so it’s cold lol and my house doesn’t hold heat well at all.

How cute is he? 🥹

I dragged myself out of bed today and we went to the vet. I have serious medical ptsd from all of this.
Norman was dripping all night in his sleep and it worried me that something was wrong. We got a perfect ultrasound and a perfect urinalysis thank god 😭❤️

I was thinking of sharing a bunch of old videos and pictures from our adventures over the years that I hadn’t posted before- would you all like that? 🐾❤️

For everyone who ordered prints, thank you so much for your patience. We tried to get them out last week but I had to have my own surgery today and I am a little bit behind. Rest assured I will message shipping info asap. Goal is by the end the of the week. I am working with my wonderful art gallery friend Sabrina so just have to coordinate a lot 🐾❤️

Gee I wonder what he could be standing and staring up at 😂😂❤️ how can I say no to those eyes?

I love to share Norman, but one thing I’ll never share is the things we tell eachother when we are side by side looking out into this beautiful world together.

Why do sheepdogs do this? 😂😂😂

Norman has started barking for treats ever since ONE time he barked while he had to lay down with the catheter in and I jumped up and gave him a treat. He is WAY too smart for his own good 😂❤️

Who’s going to tell him that he’s getting a bath, brush and trim this week? Not me! 

I took this last night. He is so dang cute. We were supposed to be fasting 😂😬😬😬😬 I’m glad I took it, it’s making me laugh while I wait.

Bringing a New Years celebration to Norman on his blanket all together ❤️ he’s old enough for a little lick 🥳🤪 I challenge you to get down on the ground with your dogs if you can. Get down on their level. They want to be a part of what you’re doing and it means the world to them, I promise!

Finding some joy and laughter in the little things ❤️ like my new expensive leash? 😂🤪 Our big appointment is on Monday. My mum is coming here to be with me and Norman. Keep praying and sending out the positivity and HOPE!

I’ve shared this video before.. but as I sit and share stories with Norman reminiscing on our grand adventures- I always find myself back here. This is Kicking Horse River. A moment that I won’t forget. Norman was sitting in the very cold rapids taking in his surroundings. I could tell that this felt so good on his body. We sat for about ten minutes as we chatted, me on the shore and him with the mountain river water flowing through his beautiful hair. It made me tear up in the moment. Do you ever find yourself in a moment and realize how special it really is? That’s what this was for us. It’s funny. I find myself so comfortable sharing moments and connecting with Norman in my own way, I sometimes have to stop to reflect while looking in from the outside just how truly special this boy is. I know that he was loving life in this moment. I know that he was truly looking around at the greatness of the mountains surrounding us. He was feeling things. He was taking in the moment. I know that he felt what I felt when we were there together … just pure peace. I have no other way to describe it. Dogs live in the moment. I like to think that I do too. Maybe that’s why I often struggle with looking back at memories and wondering- wait, where did all of this time go while I was busy living? And in some ways, that is a gift in itself… but there just isn’t really ever enough is there? If I could live this life a thousand times over with Norman, I would always choose him. We have been here twice now, and I WILL get him back here. Life is so precious. I promise that while you’re busy looking forward to the next big thing, all of the amazing little things are happening and they’re going to be what you look back and smile about. 💛
