❤️ On Day 3 and going on the 4th night! 🤒
🙏 Thank you all for your love and support and well wishes 🙏
Benny's Progress Report:
* Benny is coming along and making a good recovery!
* On his 2nd night we barely slept: I couldn't tell if he was in pain, hungry, thirsty or need to go to the bathroom. I had to quickly solve and figure out what he was communicating and attend to his need.
* Yesterday we made our way back to vet and to check his bandage and surgery. They removed his bandage 🩹 and said he making a good recovery and continue following his post opt protocols.
* I've taken time off the trails and spending it with Benny to ensure his recovery is successful.
* Don't need Benny falling, tripping, stressed or licking his wounds and making sure he goes to the bathroom as needed.
Again thanks for all the love ❤️ Your good vibes has reached my boy and he appreciates your support

Thank you everyone for the positive vibes, get well soon, speedy recovery, thoughts and prayers!
Your outreach and support has worked a miracle throughout his surgery.
NVS called me at 5:17 p.m. to let me know they're going to operate and at 6:45 Dr Weissman called letting me know that his operation went well. She was able to remove 90% of his tumor. She mentioned it was wrapped around his nerve and I'm sure that was causing him to limp and feel pain.
He will have two more follow-ups after this operation. Our goal is to have radiation chemotherapy to obliterate the last 10% of cancer remaining in his leg. That's out next step towards recovery.
Thank you Dr Weissman and your team for giving my pup the best care during this difficult time. The procedure was costly but worth giving my dog an opportunity to regain quality of life and health.
Over the next few days he has to be sedate and cannot use stairs. I don't mind carrying him up and down stairs. And of course when I'm not watching him he has to wear his cone.
Thanks again

🙏 Please send my best friend Benny good vibes and best wishes and share with a friend🙏
Benny is scheduled for surgery today .
He has cancer on his right forearm, spindle cell carcinoma (grade one), but the problem is it is growing along his leg and muscles and tendons which has caused him to limp and tricky to remove.
I noticed Benny had a slight limp this summer. At that point in time there was nothing that I could do since he was recovering from severe pancreatitis. His liver counts for off the charts and we really thought he was in the pass in May or June. He fought his liver condition and made it through.
By September when his blood counts started to level off and head towards normal again, I began to get Benny treated for his limp.
We did everything from laser light therapy, adequan shots and librella. Nothing helped! I had our vet look take a closer look in November and suspicioun was cancer. December was his biopsy and had to wait for results and cancer was confirmed.
Thank you for your help and referring NBS. Although I know Benny will be in great hands it's always tough leaving pets at the Vet for big procedures. Since Benny is a true rescue dog I personally took off the streets, I wonder if he feels abandoned Everytime I leave him behind at the Vet. Since dogs can't tell time, I'm sure the wait seems long and dreadful.
Anyhow, I wanted to share my experience. Most importantly if your dog develops a limp and you get it treated and doesn't go away please please please have it checked out immediately. From experience I've seen these limps become cancerous.
Please send my best friend Benny best wishes and a speaker recovery and that the doctor is able to remove most and all of his ailments.

Flash Back Friday November 2010!
Insane how the years go by so fast! This popped up on my Facebook and I rarely go on facebook, if I do, it's just to wish someone a happy birthday.
Anyhow here's a young Tibby and I pose making duck lips 👄 😂. At that point of his life he was able to do three hikes a day, easily covering over 12 miles and not get tired 😩
Do you have any pictures from 2010 let's all share our pictures from 14 years ago.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Enjoying my staycation with my two dogs...
When I'm not Trekking and or Training I cook homemade dog food, yes better than any frozen dog food
If you haven't seen any recent videos, here is why. 😁

Tibby has been recovering from vertigo since Aug 17, 2024. His neurologist was impressed to see his Speedy recovery when she met him last week Thursday.
Benny is happy he gets to spend 24/7 with me.

I'm finally enjoying my time off by getting some physical and mental rest.

For my passion and love of dogs I really don't have any balance when it comes to K9 Trek and my 2 dogs.

I'm always a thousand percent or nothing! That's how I am wired! Always doing something 24/7

Since I love what I do it never feels like work.
I always want to provide value, honesty and natural integrity for others to enjoy what I provide.

LOVE OF DOGS

How many of you guys like Home Goods? I just can't escape doing anything dog related! Picked up some beds for my dogs. And I get all their Snoopy blankets along with other great things like bowls, p**p bags and dog shampoo!

The dog days of summer have arrived. Tibby loves getting some licks of my ice cream after a long hot walk. In his mind sharing is caring 😁
We enjoy spending summer in parks and ending it with ice cream.
Have a fabulous day everyone August 1st, 2024 is here 😀

Happy 11th 🎂 birthday, Benny 🎈 (please read...)

Thank you for last years input on helping deciding when Benny's official birthday should take place. Last year's post is linked below:

We all agree that it should be the day we met, and Benny chose me to be his forever pet parent.

6 years have gone by so quickly, and I'm happy Benny's life is forever changed for the best. He is super loyal and a happy boy.

We spent his day on two small hikes with his bro Tibby, went shopping for his BBQ at grandparents, followed with his meal and his cake.

Have a fabulous day, everyone 😀
