I have been great! I’m enjoying the snow.
Mom has been struggling lately. Juggling life, the doggos and now an unknown health condition.
She saw a neurologist (the human kind) and was diagnosed with neuropathy. She still has to see more doctors and have more tests done to determine what is causing it.
It will be a journey. Don’t worry, I am giving Mom lots of cuddles. πŸ₯°

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give an update on Ellie. We saw the Behaviorist and we got a diagnosis of fear based anxiety with overall anxiety. The issue is Ellie goes 0 to the 100 due to her anxiety and we saw that on Thanksgiving.
We have a plan together for treatment. Ellie had started anxiety medication and training to expose her to the stimuli she is fearful of.
If you notice Ellie is not in posts as much, she is okay but may need some space from whatever we are doing. Ellie gets along with Shelby 95% of the time and we are comfortable allowing them to spend time together. However, Ellie is not allowed to be with any other pups (family included) for the foreseeable future.
A good thing that came from this, I have permitted Ellie’s situation to be used as an example in educational lectures on dog body language or in our case, lack of body language. Hopefully, it can help someone else in the future.

Shelby’s Mom here. This is a very emotional post for us and this shows our vulnerable side. We always promise to be transparent and this is no different. We believe all information is helpful to someone. Please no mean or rude comments. Zero tolerance.
On Thanksgiving the whole family was over. We were all relaxing in the living room. Out of nowhere a dog fight broke out.
Unfortunately, Geneva got the worst of it with wounds on the back of her neck and chest. After I did a quick assessment of Geneva, it was decided to take her right to the emergency vet near by.
Geneva was hyped up from adrenaline but still did fantastic. She let the techs get her vitals while she buried her head in my arms. To prevent her from further stress, the Vet sedated her and allowed us to stay with her until she fell asleep. They cleaned her and stitched her up so she was able to go home that day.
Luckily, I have cameras in my house and I couldn’t get over how I didn’t see it coming. To my shock, Ellie jumped Geneva without notice or reason. Recognizing the danger that this now poses, I realized that Ellie needs help beyond what a trainer could offer.
I reached out to the local behavior clinic.
Well, after a few weeks of waiting, our first appointment was today. I showed the video and the tech was obviously very concerned with Ellie’s behavior. She helped us with tips on how to keep everyone safe. As part of the initial evaluation, she recommended that Ellie see the Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist. Our appointment is next month.
Hopefully, this doctor can help get to the root of whatever is going on with Ellie. I will start working on some training items in the meantime and the clinic is willing to help us if anything needs to be addressed while we wait for the next appointment .
Sorry for the post. If you’re still reading, thank you. A pic of Geneva bundled up in my bed. She’s been so spoiled and loved. Her chest is getting better. Just a small clementine-sized lump is there.
We love you. Thanking for being patient with us. It’s been hard to accept this but at least we have a good plan of how to proceed to get Ellie help.
