Canon did not get his HW injections on Monday and Tuesday. He had a different plan. What was his plan? He decided to eat a squeaker from a toy that got lodged in his small intestines.
He had emergency surgery to remove the object. He is slowly recovering. This boy has been through so much. We will give him a few weeks to bounce back before rescheduling his HW treatment. We will continue with slow kill until then.
We just hope he doesn't have any more tricks up his sleeve.
If you would like to help with Canon's medical bill, which exceeded $6k, our donation methods are listed below. No amount is too small. If you would like a copy of our receipt, please email [email protected].

Update on Bonnie:
As mentioned in a previous post, Bonnie's annual blood work came back abnormal. The additional test ruled out hyperthyroidism, which is fantastic news. The vet has made some adjustments to Bonnie's diet, which Bonnie isn't happy with, but it is needed for her to be healthy and to get her blood levels within the normal healthy range.
We are still watching her eye. The vets expect it will need to be extracted but they want to try out the drops once again in hopes this time it is an allergy flare up being her ears were red too.
We will keep you posted on our senior girl Bonnie.

Canon Update:

No more limping, toe touching or hopping. Friday was his last PT session until we get through his HW treatment, which starts Monday.

The goal was to get him stable, no pain and able to walk on his leg then break for HW treatment.

He will then need to be dog tested. He was already dog tested, but not by me so I want to ensure all is well before we release him for adoption.

Please keep Bonnie in your thoughts. Her annual blood work came back abnormal, high & low values in concerning areas. We have approved the cost for additional testing for Bonnie.
She is such a good girl. Lets send all the positive energy you have her way!

Canon is no longer hopping, toe touching or experiencing pain. This does not mean he is 100% on his back end; we still need to build more muscle. But we are at a point to step back after this week's PT sessions for his HW treatment.
We will get him scheduled next week for his treatment. Once he has his "down time" we will pick back up with the full PT schedule. We will continue to do the low impact exercises at home during his down time.
He will be one step closer to finding his forever home!

Tater has the right idea for the 18-degree weather! It will be dropping into the single digits soon. Tater suggests that you bring in your furry friends and allow them to snuggle during this cold front.
It is much colder in other areas of the US, so please be kind to your pets and give them warm shelter.

Our sweet Bonnie was exhausted after her annual visit yesterday and her face shows it all!
They were squeezing her bottom to express glands, prodding it for f***l samples, staining her eye, then rinsing her eye out, and then taking blood and getting vaccines.
BUT.... she was perfect and sat there with a giant smile on her face while they completed her annual exam.
Note: They are still discussing the possibility of removing her eye due to continued irritation. We will know more once she finishes her meds over the next two weeks.

The funds will go toward Gunner and Bonnie's annual visit, Canon's HW treatment and continued Physical Therapy.
Please join the group to bid on the collars. The collars here are in the auction, but don't bid under these pictures. Must bid on the primary picture.

Thank you to everyone who shares, likes and comments on our post. You have no idea how much this helps rescues when we are looking for foster homes or adopters to save a dog in need.
For those that took a second out of your day to interact with our post, you may have saved MANY dogs just by that one second interaction. THANK YOU!
We don't ask for likes, comments or shares for "popularity" or "clicks", we ask because it helps our dogs stay in the algorithm with this app for more people to see, meaning more chances for these deserving dogs to find a home.
Again, thank you to everyone who interacts with our post. You certainly make a difference.

❤️

Do you shop at Kroger?

A simple way to help a rescue is assign them as your "Community Reward" organization. When you shop at Kroger a % of sales are given back to the organization of your choice.

It is simple. (You must have an account setup)

- Log-in via your phone app (or website: https://www.kroger.com)
- Go to "My Account" (under your name)
- Select "Community Rewards"
- Search by our name or our code (DH371) & Select

Each time you shop for groceries, you will be helping a dog in need. Takes 3 minutes at the most if you already have an account/Kroger+ card.
