If anyone else has an older Desi struggling with arthritis, just wanted to pop on recommend considering Librela (monthly arthritis injections) - our old lady had not been able to jump onto our bed for months but shortly after starting Librela, lo and behold she got her springs back 🙂 - Erin (and Fran)

Saw this link on a FB post - a way to connect internationally to house/petsit or find a pet/housesitter... several listings in BC looking for house/petsitters. Something I've thought would be a neat thing to do ... years ago when I had my first household of dogs/cats/birds/rabbits/wolfcubs (yep, thats a story until itself) I luckily came across the lovely "Mrs. Dove" who for ($10/day +food+transportation) was booked most of the year in advance to look after any household or farm animals (except snakes or spiders) for 'bingo money' and to get her out of her small veterans housing.

This is the rescue Chime and Belle came over to Vancouver from ..many thanks to the, and Mini for helping make that happen.., with the added stress that their entry into was denied…and without the paperwork trail of emails I would not have got the ruling reversed… no arrival ever went without stress as to whether or not they would be allowed entry

🌅 As dawn breaks over the bustling Friendicoes shelter in Delhi, a day of intense medical care and compassion begins. This shelter, where Friendicoes first ...

There's nothing better than making an old dog's day special... there must be someone that would love to trade off minor bladder leakage and wonky hips for a dog with personality plus absolutely no behavior concerns... it is so nice to be able to walk a dog off leash past an Irish wolfhound and a pitt bull and small dogs with no reactivity!

Time for a Sweetie Pie update! Her history has been found out and her vet work results came back. She is a 12 year old Coonhound Husky cross, and her past homes were/are unable to care for a senior dog. Bloodwork shows chronic kidney disease, possibly Cushings, and need for further vet workup.

Well, the not good news is that the senior care foster home she was to go to today with the help of LMHS was unable to take her, so she continues to need a foster - adoptive home.

The great news is how lovely a dog she is to welcome into anyones home - she is totally sweet and smart and easy to care for. SWEET: she loves people, gets on well with other dogs, non-confrontative; SMART: knows sit, down, come, shake a paw, kiss, sing, fetch, drop it, go to your bed, out, go p*e!; EASY to Care for: obedient - good recall, loves walks, non-reactive around dogs, loves people, loves treats, loves car rides, loves swimming, goes p*e when asked, quiet in the house, bladder control is vastly improved when she is reminded to go out to p*e every hour or two.

If anyone is still interested in donating towards her vet work up and care costs it is appreciated at anytmie - and thanks to those who have sent in $250 donations towards her $550 current care costs, and future care costs.

It is so sad that so many senior dogs are abandoned when their health care becomes complicated and costly, and there is no where for them to go. SAINTS which supports senior dogs with health complications like Sweetie, was full. And I am so lucky that DMRS/Lower Mainland Humane Society stepped in to offer to try to find her a senior care foster home. Please share to anyone you might know that could take in a senior dog for now to end of life care.
