One of our wonderful puppy parents sent this thoughtful gift. It made me cry, again, but in a good way.

It is with heavy hearts that we led our sweet lovely boy Astral across the rainbow bridge today. Despite all that the specialists could do, the CT scan showed that the flesh eating bacteria had invaded his internal organs. There was no other choice. He was in great pain that even the strongest drugs couldn't reach. Despite this, he happily came home to all the family, including retired Mama Luna and Grandma Princess. He often stopped what he was doing and wind softly under his breath. But he insisted on cleaning Mama Rory's face one last time. The hospice vet arrived. We tried to feed him some steak but he was too sick to take any. Silvia and Dan joined me in telling him what a good boy he was as he drifted off to sleep. He took his last breath with his head on my shoulder. It was not a terrible death for a dog, but it shouldn't have happened for another 5 to 10 years. In 72 hours Astral went from a vivacious stud dog, enjoying a honeymoon with Rory to a wreck at deaths door. I can't imagine life without him.

Okay friends, Papa Astral needs your prayers right now. He has developed something called necrotizing fasciitis. This is a very serious disease and his life is in jeopardy. He's scheduled for emergency surgery today to remove his entire tail, that's if the CT scan is clean with no involvement in his internal organs. This came on very suddenly. We are still pretty much in shock, but I do believe in the power of prayer and positive energy. So please, send your good wishes. I can't imagine life without him. 😭

Today I received the following text and picture from one of our proud puppy parents.

"Two yrs ago today this fur bundle of love came home w me wrapped in blankie that covers him in picture. Wendy, this little guy is nothing but perfect. He loves everyone he meets and they him. He’s playful and happy and we communicate fabulously. He understands w one or two words or hand signals. And if he needs my help it’s one loud sharp bark - for me to come help — get stuck toy or open the door etc. Boris is best pet ever. I totally love him he goes just about everyplace w me. And knows we are going when I say let’s get in car or just certain names he knows we go by car and runs to door. So fun joy of my life. Thank you so so much for letting me have best pup ever."

If you or someone you love is searching for the
"best pup ever", consider applying for one of our February babies. Message me your email address and I'll send you full details.

CHINOOK HAS FINALLY FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME! His new mom Patti and family plan on having many adventures and spoiling Chinook just a little bit. 💖🐕😀

07/22/2024

Here are a few pictures of our darling Chinook. Patti is coming by Thursday to meet him. Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed.🤞

We just did a bit of play today. He has been doing so well with learning heel that we decided to give him a fun day off.

07/19/2024

Chinook is waiting patiently, hoping his forever home finds him soon. He's potty pad trained, has all of his basic obedience commands. He's been vet checked twice, and he's up to date on vaccinations. PM me for details. 💖😀🐕

We got a new puzzle toy for the puppies. They are such smart little darlings that they figured it out in no time. 💖

07/19/2024

Shadow can't wait for Mom and Dad to come and take him home again on Sunday.
🐕💖😀

Shadow's been getting the same training as Chinook, so we ran him through the same course that we did Chinook today to show off all he's learning.

07/19/2024

Going over the basics with Chinook again but this time, with a focus on staying in heel position.

07/18/2024

Doing some more heel work with Chinook. This time, we focused on more long term walks to get him to start heeling even while he's walking.

07/18/2024

We let Shadow and his brother out to play while Victor cleaned there home. But Shadow decided that he much preferred sitting on my lap while playing today.
