As most of you are aware, my husband has been diagnosed with cancer and we are currently awaiting the scheduling of chemotherapy treatments. In light of this, we must take extra precautions to ensure his health and minimize any potential delays in treatment. Therefore, I kindly request that if any of you are experiencing illness, we reschedule your appointment. I recognize the inconvenience this may cause, but I must prioritize my husband's well-being during this critical time. I truly appreciate your kindness and support while we chart these waters. ~Tanya.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend.
I just wanted to touch base. We have a lot of Drs appointments in the next two weeks so if I am slow getting back to you I’m so so sorry.
I’m also looking for someone to mow our yard at least every other week for the rest of the season so if anyone knows anyone that would be reliable please message me I would appreciate it it so very much. And for giggles here is an old school picture from back in the day. Tonka the little gray dog is nearing 20. He’s been my ride or die for a very long time. Anyways. Thank you guys for being amazing as always. ❤️❤️

This year has brought a lot of challenges over the past few months. I value and appreciate all of my clients, you're what makes Knappy Dog the success it is, and I want to let you all know in the coming year my availability will be affected and my time off will need to be increased. The health and well being of my family and self will have to take priority over the next few months. I will still strive to accommodate all of you, and provide the you all with the top notch service and care you all know and expect from Knappy Dog. I just ask that you be patient and know that I am doing everything I can to get everyone back to being healthy so I can get back to providing everyone's regular schedule. At this time I ask for your compassion and grace while we at Knappy Dog tackle our current struggles, and please know I deeply apologize for the inconveniences this may cause you all. I only hope we can weather this storm together and come out stronger on the other side. Again l, thank you all for your support and understanding.

Update. My Husbands biopsy was inconclusive so now he will be having surgery to remove some of the lymph node so they can get a proper biopsy done so they can start the right treatment. I am hoping that we will know Monday when that surgery will be. I appreciate each and every one of you for being patient. I’m not sure what this road looks like for us I truly don’t.

Update.
I’m home. Our Son was released yesterday and will be following cardiac rehabilitation rules. He will be on meds for the rest of his life and have a cardiologist always
Now for Big Ben we didn’t get his results as apparently they haven’t gotten them yet however he did get his referral to Oncology. That being said I’m going to do my best to get everyone in.

To update everyone our 22 year old Son has had a heart attack yesterday and then again this morning. I’m in Wisconsin for now. My Husband has biopsy results Monday he most likely has a form of lymphoma. We just have to find out what kind and treatment. Things feel so up in the air right now so I will keep everyone posted as things go along.

06/14/2024

***We are closed due to an emergency I will update when I know more ** I’m so so sorry

06/13/2024

I’m back to my full schedule tomorrow. However we do go for biopsy results Monday. I will keep everyone as posted as I can!

06/12/2024

I promise I’m not ignoring anyone. My Husband has been in the hospital since Monday and is getting a procedure today. I ask once again for you to be patient. I’ll totally understand if you feel I’m undependable. Life is just hard right now and I feel like we all go through rough seasons and it’s rough. Picture of Sully for tax. ❤️

***Its back on***

Knappy Dog is without power due to a transformer blowing. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

Hey all! I plan on being back to work Tuesday. I will be contacting everyone over the next few days to get everyone back in.
I had my second surgery yesterday and I’m already feeling better minus trying to sleep off this anesthesia. Anyways. Thank you for being so amazing.

The last two weeks have been absolutely agonizing. I have a kidney stone that is 1/2 cm big which resulted in my kidney being blocked as well as an infection that I have been fighting since March. This resulted in a stent being put in and I truly believe that it’s an ancient torture device. I can feel it scraping the inside of my bladder and my body basically trying to reject it. I have surgery tomorrow to blast the stone and get another stent put in. I’m praying that the second one isn’t awful like this one. I’ve missed two
weeks of work and being self employed that means no income which adds to the stress. I appreciate all my clients that have been super supportive and understanding. Ben will post an update tomorrow when I’m out of surgery. I would appreciate all the good juju/ prayers/good energy you can send. ❤️

So once again I will be reaching out to reschedule everyone. I’m going to try and work this week so please I just ask you be patient with me and we will all get through this.

Hey all I just wanted to post an update. I am home from the Hospital and resting as comfortably as I can. I will be reaching out and rescheduling my clients for this week as I have follow up appointments with other Drs. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this causes anyone.

04/27/2024

Due to an unforseen medical emergency Knappy Dog will be closed until at least Wednesday. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, and will reach out as soon as possible to reschedule any up coming appointments. I appreciate your patience and kindness during this time.
