Great tips from Nana Paws in Michigan

Time for the holidays

Between the stress of having the In-laws over and being on clean up duty from dropped foods, your pup can develop quite the upset belly.



We aren't the only ones who get stressed over family and friends coming over, lots of activity, decorating etc, your pup has a lot of changes going on also. Dogs have the innate ability to sense when we are stressed and overwhelmed, so it's not uncommon for them to develop an upset belly over our stress.

Decorations go up, there is a lot of hustle and bustle going on and all of a sudden their home is filled with noise, new faces, smells, everyone calling their name, kids wanted to pet them, and good 'ol long lost Aunt Mary that is going to sneak your pet "treats" and kiss on your pup....... OVERLOAD!



So, how do we help our pups if they can't handle all the changes or if they got a few to many "scraps" from Aunt Mary and the kids?



Give them space......

1. If you aren't boarding your pup, find a quiet room that can be off limits to everyone so your pup can have space and not get overwhelmed.

2. Calming chews are their friend. This can help take some tension off your pup and let them relax (No you can't have one of their chews LOL).

3. Food puzzles and Toppl toys can be great to keep your pup entertained and distracted during the family dinner.



Upset belly remedies......

1. Do a bland diet for a day or two. Try Koha bland diet mix. This will often help settle upset bellies from eating things they should not have eaten.

2. Add pumpkin. This can also help firm up loose stools.

3. Add a probiotic. These will often help balance out your pups digestive tract and get them back to normal.

PUP DATE!! ❤️❤️❤️

Ten years ago today, I had the joy of adopting a wonderful dog named Flirt, now lovingly called Belle, from your agency. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and to share an update on her life.

Belle has brought immeasurable joy and love to my life. She is not just a pet but a deeply cherished member of our family. A few years ago, we moved to Florida, and Belle has embraced the change wholeheartedly. She enjoys being closer to our extended family and absolutely loves the warm weather.

Please share with her foster family that she is doing exceptionally well. I will always be grateful for the care and compassion they showed her during her time with them.

Thank you for the incredible work you do in connecting people with loving animals. Adopting Belle has truly been one of the greatest blessings in my life.

Mortimer was such an amazing dog. He scored big time when he met the Kennedy family. During the 2016 World Series, he gained an amazing home where he received the new name Rizzo! He was a total love and a devoted Cubs fan of course! Rizzo gained an amazing family that showered him with the love he deserved.

Rizz crossed the rainbow bridge, finally free of his failing kidneys. He fought valiantly for almost 3 years following his diagnosis. He had a great quality of life until the very end, going for walks and playing until the very last day.

From his family, “I wish we could have had more time with Rizz, because he was just the perfect companion. The excruciating emptiness in our home and my heart is a constant reminder of just how much we loved him.

Thank you so much for helping us find each other. We are forever grateful!”

Run free sweet Rizzo! Our thoughts are with the Kennedy Family. You are forever part of the BWR family.

A Message from the Rainbow Bridge
Dear Mom and Dad,
Having spent a couple of weeks on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge, I thought I should send you a letter. I apologize, Mom, but I’ve been so tied up ‘across the bridge’ that thoughts of home haven't crossed my mind much. They reassured me that it's okay and that you’d understand. I truly believe you will.
Do you remember that night when I wasn’t feeling great and emotions were running high? While my memories are hazy, I clearly recall seeing and hearing all of you, feeling your gentle touches and warm embraces... I remember hearing “we love you” and that last instruction of “Go through.” I wasn’t sure what you meant, so I turned and walked into the mist that lay before me. Before me stood the most incredible bridge I had ever seen! And my friends awaited on the other side, all playing with toys and balls! You were right to encourage me to cross!
Though my paws moved forward, my heart felt the tug of home. Your touches faded gradually, and I longed to return and seek more of your affection, yet I was overcome by an irresistible draw to this joyful place across the bridge! My feet propelled forward as if guided by a gentle gust! I can’t quite put it into words, but I knew without hesitation that I was meant to go!
So, I crossed that magnificent bridge all by myself! I looked around for you, as you’re always alongside me, but this experience was unlike any other. There was no collar around my neck or leash attaching me to you ~ I was totally ‘free’! Even without your presence, I felt a profound sense of companionship! It was as if I had a great cloak of love enveloping me, and with each step, my breath became easier! So, I continued onward! The warmth of that embrace grew stronger, urging me onward! I finally reached the other side of the grand bridge – I accomplished it alone, Mom. Upon my arrival, all my new friends welcomed me and assisted me in stepping off the bridge ~ it was amazing! They gifted me a pair of wings and told me I was now a Guardian Angel!
The things I’ve discovered in these past weeks have been astounding and beyond anything I ever imagined! Here, we’re all united ~ we all possess wings and we all have Forever People to watch over ~ that means YOU, Mom! You’re my Forever Person, and I’m your Forever Dog! Our time together was truly special, and I miss you immensely, but rest assured that I am brimming with happiness in my new home across The Bridge!
I’ll send you another Earth Angel to keep you company. Shower them with the same love you gave me. I’ll check in from time to time to ensure they cherish your affection ~ I always did! When you find yourself missing me, picture a rainbow and know that I’m on the other side, eagerly waiting to walk with you once more. I’ll forever reside in your heart. Love you, Mom!

💔 Heartbreaking to learn that the Rainbow Bridge in North Carolina was washed away with the floods.

🌈 The Rainbow Bridge is located at the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge in North Carolina. Specifically, it's part of the Flowering Bridge garden that spans the Rocky Broad River, connecting Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.

🐶 The Rainbow Bridge is a special section within the garden where visitors can leave collars, tags, and other mementos to honor and remember their beloved pets who have passed away.

Another rescue posted this great idea. If your in this awful storm please consider doing this in case you are separated from your pets. Write your information on their belly in permanent marker along with your contact info.
