In the past week 2 HDG puppies were stung by bees. In both instances, the owners had their homeopathic pet kits on hand and were able to administer Apis 30c. It gets rid of pain and swelling immediately. Two weeks ago I got stung on my pinky and it hurt like a % #&@!!!- within 15 seconds of taking Apis, pain was 100% gone and all swelling was gone within 24 hours. Last time I got stung, the area was swollen for THREE weeks! I recommend all pet owners have the homeopathic kit on hand- but at the very least, all households should have Apis 30c on hand for all family members! It’s cheap, you can get a 3 pack on Amazon for $10. - [ ]

It takes a lot of self-control to sit patiently at the door, for an extended amount of time, to come inside- especially when they know breakfast is ready for them when they come in! Having the older dogs trained makes it very easy when adding a puppy! They follow what the other dogs are doing (good or bad!) so when the big dogs know the drill, the puppies follow suit-we’ve noticed the same with the recall command as well! -

My iPhone 15 pro changes the colors of my photos and I can’t make it stop! These 2 pics were taken less than 2 seconds apart and look at the color difference! The first picture is close to true color, the second picture turned Riggins gold! If anyone knows how I can get true colors on my photos, help me out!!! - [ ]

[NOTE: This photo is just picture of a pond in the summer. NOT a picture of a pond with the toxin.] Cyanobacteria can have many different looks, including not being visible at all. Link to Kentucky Division of Water for more photos and information: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water/Monitor/Pages/HABS.aspx #:~:text=Harmful%20Algal%20Blooms%20Division%20of%20Water&text=A%20harmful%20algal%20bloom%2C%20or,skin%20in%20animals%20or%20humans.
"Death follows minutes to hours after exposure to a small amount of this toxin." As the weather gets hotter, ponds can start to have "algae blooms." The water itself can look like pea soup, or like green paint is spread on the surface of the water. Sometimes it is not visible at all. Some of these blooms are cyanobacteria, which can produce potent toxins. Dogs are exposed when they wade in the water and either drink the water directly, or lick it off themselves when they come out. There is no antidote; treatment is supportive and many dogs don't survive. If you believe your dog has been exposed, bathe him immediately. If he has any symptoms, bring him right in to a veterinarian. See comments for more information about signs and treatment. (Most ponds that look like this are not dangerous, but it is not possible to tell which ones are toxic and which ones aren't except by having the water tested; If in doubt, keep pets out.) Edited to add links to more pond phots.

And that’s a wrap… our last puppy from our “Idaho Peaks” litter has gone home with his family! Cache is such an awesome puppy and I know he’ll grow into a beautiful Golden that will give his family many years of love! We will miss you Cache but you are headed right where you are meant to be! ❤️❤️❤️ - [ ]

Only a few days left with this cutie! On Tuesday afternoon Cache will be heading home with his new family! Like all his siblings, he’s headed off to an amazing life! I’m sooooo happy he’s staying local and he’s going to a friend of mine- I’ve gotten to know this guy pretty well and he’s pretty awesome- I know I’ll be able to see him and hang out with him! ❤️❤️❤️ - [ ]

This right here is exactly why we do what we do. No one should get a Golden Retriever puppy and start counting the days they might have left with them- but this person’s fear is not irrational! So many Goldens are dying of cancer and dying young and many others suffer from chronic illness. This is exactly why we started our program. Golden Retrievers are one of the absolute best breed you could ever have- but too many broken hearts and empty wallets from medical care- we’re not ok with it and we’re working hard to change it!

Your energy, positive or negative definitely has an effect on your dog!

Cache will be with us for another week- this boy is phenomenal- not only is this gorgeous boy sweet, but he is eager to please! He’s learning he can’t come of the pen until he sits calmly, he can’t come out of the crate until I release him, he sleeps a nice quiet 7 hours per night and is doing great on his sit and down basic commands! We will miss him but I can’t wait for his new family to enjoy a lifetime of Golden Retriever love with him! - [ ]
