CELEBRATING HEAVEN!
Three years ago, a ragged little dog with no teeth entered our lives. At the time, we didn’t know how much she would come to mean to us or how adorable she would become. Heaven gave us three years of love, laughs, cuddles, sass, and ordering us (her human servants) to do her bidding. When we say that fospice brings joy, this is what we are talking about.
Heaven became her Daddy’s little girlfriend, and she got everything she ever wanted. She was just outside five minutes ago but wanted to go out again, ok. She wanted a belly rub when you are trying to work? Time to stop working and rub her big belly. Anything Heaven wanted, Heaven got.
We are thankful Heaven was with us for this long. Her final day was quick. She began acting funny around 7p, we were headed to MedVet by 9, she began having seizures when we arrived at 9:30, and the decision to euthanize her was made by 10:30. We aren’t sure what happened to make her body give up but the thoughts are either her liver or a brain tumor.
Heaven is now reunited with her best friend, Nevaeh. The two joined us together as a bonded pair a little over three years ago from Animal Friends Humane Society in Cincinnati. Nevaeh passed away last year. The two are now together bossing everyone around in heaven and doing their “yoga” side by side once again. I am sure they are getting everything they want from lots of people now, just like they did here. Until we meet again, little ones.

CELEBRATING MARILYN!
We said our goodbyes to our sweet Marilyn. She was tired, in pain, and no longer wanted to eat. The cancer inside her was too much to overcome. We gave her the last, most precious gift we could, a humane euthanasia surrounded by those she loved most in the world. She passed peacefully while being kissed and helped by her fospice Moms.
We cannot thank Courtney and Veronica enough for taking Marilyn into their hearts and home. They gave her all the cuddles she could stand. Marilyn enjoyed being fed whatever she desired; the last few weeks, she was even spoon fed her meals. She ate the cheapest cat food out of the finest china whenever she could. Marilyn loved laying on the soft couch smothered by squish mellows. Blankets were one of her favorite things, other than her people.
Anywhere Marilyn went, she was a magnet and stole hearts, from the Miami County Animal Shelter, where staff and volunteers advocated for her, to Troy Animal Hospital, where she received the best care, and to Laber of Love fundraisers, where she got everyone in sight to give her treats. And a huge THANKS to a wonderful Shelter Volunteer for stepping in and paying for ALL her Vet and comfort CARE!!
We are all sad that Marilyn is no longer with us, but we are thankful for each day that we had with her. We are thankful that we were able to be a part of her final chapter. We are grateful that we could show her what true love and compassion looked like. Rest easy, sweet girl.

HUMANE EDUCATION BLOG!
Veterinary Mythbusting
Myth 1: Any CBD product will work.
With increasing ma*****na legalization and interest, there’s been an explosion of CBD products for both people and pets. However, marketing has gotten ahead of science. There is promise for certain conditions like pain and epilepsy. But, other claims like improved coat health appear to have limited evidence. There is wide variation in quality and effectiveness because of the lack of oversight. Compared to prescription medications, CBD products are supplements with significantly less oversight. As a result, there are many substandard products on the market. According to Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, “a study that evaluated 29 CBD products for pets and found heavy metal contamination in four of the products. The research team determined that two products had no cannabinoids in them. Of the remaining products, only 10 were measured to have a total cannabinoid concentration that was within 10% of the amount that they claimed to have on their label.”
Use careful consideration in selecting a product. Given the abundance of approved, well studied, and regulated products available for most conditions, any CBD product should be viewed as supplements in a therapy plan.
Myth 2: Canned pumpkin helps treat diarrhea.
The fiber in canned pumpkin is vastly overrated compared to fiber supplements or therapeutic high fiber diets for pets. In fact, to feed the same amount of fiber as a therapeutic diet or supplement to a medium sized dog, you’d have to feed about 12 cups of canned pumpkin per day! For a cat, it’d still be a large amount - 2 and ½ cups! The volume alone will fill up your pet, which will mean they will miss out on getting other key nutrients in their diet. When pets improve while being fed pumpkin, it is likely a result of the increased water intake and the fact that many cases of acute diarrhea improve within days on their own. Better sources of fiber include unflavored, unsweetened versions of Benefiber or Metamucil or therapeutic high fiber diets. The type and amount depends on the size of the pet and what type of diarrhea they are having - always check with a veterinary professional! Any pet that seems ill, has repeat diarrhea cases, is a puppy/kitten, or has recently been around other cats or dogs should be evaluated by a veterinarian.
Myth 3: Fleas can’t get pets indoors or in the winter.
This risk of fleas is lower in the cooler months, but it's growing. The vast majority of cats I see in practice with fleas are classified as “indoor only” -- and there are virtually no dogs that never go outside. If we were able to jump like fleas, we could jump over skyscrapers - it’s no wonder they can get inside! Also, because our winters are warmer now, there seems to be no decrease in the number of flea cases in dogs or cats in the winter months.
Myth 4: Benadryl will help itchiness.
Benadryl (and other similar medications like Claritin) are antihistamines. They block the action of a molecule called histamine that causes a lot of allergy symptoms in people. But, histamine plays very little – if any – role in pets’ skin allergies. Our pet’s itchy skin is better compared to eczema than our seasonal allergies. There are a variety of medications that better control these symptoms. These should be paired with strategies to help reduce or avoid exposure and sensitivity.
While we’re at it - pets are more likely to have food allergies to a food they have eaten for a long time, not a new diet! Also, proteins trigger allergies and pets become allergic to the protein regardless of the diet quality.

CELEBRATING HOLLY!
Holly joined Laber of Love through the Shelby County Animal Shelter - Ohio. They reached out to us because this sweet girl had a pretty sizeable mammary mass that had ulcers on it. She also had bladder stones. It was obvious that she was in pain, but Holly’s spirit was still strong. She loved to go outside, to eat, and to curl up on a soft bed. Holly needed some special care, and we were honored to give her that.
However, Holly’s condition was worse than we initially thought. Even though we began her on pain medications immediately, nothing seemed to ease the pain she was in. The ulcers on her mass got worse, and became infected. On the fourth day with us, she refused all food. It became increasingly clear that Holly’s body was giving out even though her spirit was trying to keep going. Our sweet girl needed us to be strong for her and make the most loving decision we could. So, on the fifth day of her being home with us, we made the trip to Troy Animal Hospital and talked through her care. After examining her, the Vet agreed that the best thing we could do for Holly was to free her from her pain. She was euthanized while being held and loved.
We are so thankful that Holly made her way to us to spend her last days. She was able to spend those days being loved and cared for. She spent that time on the couch or her choice of all the soft beds in the house. She was never far away from me. She was the gentlest, kindest, sweetest little girl. She had to wear diapers because of the bladder stones, but she never minded them being put on. I wish she had found her way to us sooner, but I am grateful for the four full days that we had together.
Nicole Laber, Cofounder and Fospice Parent
