Rambler’s test results: No irritable bowel disease, a normal pancreas, and Addison’s is inconclusive. Dr Young explained that most likely Rambler has food sensitivities, but if symptoms like diarrhea, lethargy and vomiting return, there is a more conclusive test for Addison’s. Rambler is a happy puppy and has a big appetite. He likes walks on a leash though the neighborhood. We are hopeful that he has turned a corner🙏

This pup is Rambler’s age approximately. It’s so discouraging and sad to imagine him roaming the streets homeless 😢🥺😞

Little things that catch your attention. Enjoy them for what they are. Man made things can’t always compete with nature 💚

My last visit with Muskie💛 I had to cancel two visits with her this week to take Rambler to the vet and stay home with him. It reminded me of when our kids were young, and I had to *call in* for a sub, so I could stay home with a sick child. I’m sorry I don’t have a sub for when I’m not available.

This boy!! 😍

🐾 Andy is still looking for his forever family! 🐾

This 9-year-old German Shepherd is such a good boy and would love to find a home where he can share his sweet personality. Andy gets along well with female dogs and has a soft spot for stuffy toys.

He’s patiently waiting near Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN—could you be the one to make his dreams come true? Contact Skylar’s Scholarships for more info! 🐶❤️

Willow is at times feisty with Rambler, running full speed from across the yard directly at him, rolling him! Other times she lets him chew her nylabone or pull on her collar. 😁

Walking with Bella today was a treat for both of us. We noticed how quiet it was with the kids back in school 🤫

Henrietta😍

What was this sweet eight year old girl doing walking around by herself on the streets? We don't know either! Henrietta is a sweet but still spunky old gal looking for the best retirement home possible! She has done well with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. She has loved each person that she has come in contact with and would love nothing more than a home of her very own. Fill out the adoption application below or stop in anytime we are open to meet Henrietta! Our hours are 2-8 on the weekdays and 11-5 on the weekends.

Friday update after Rambler’s trip to the vet.
Blood test (called the Texas GI panel) will look for evidence of a malfunctioning pancreas, IBD, Addison’s, dysbiosis (unhealthy gut microbes). That’s a wide range of issues, and in the meantime, feed I/D food and Cerenia (every 24 hours) for nausea & inflammation. 😋
Food trial may be needed, but we’ll wait for the Texas GI panel results first. (Yes, the test is done at Texas A&M).
German shepherds have higher rates of some of the conditions we are testing for. Rambler is our first shepherd to need these tests. We love him and we’re in this together ❤️❤️❤️❤️ (I’m thinking of “what if” we couldn’t pursue answers, and we had to give Rambler up. It would be heartbreaking, devastating. I understand it happens though, and I have empathy. A tough topic for sure. We purchased pet health insurance and I’m navigating the process! So far it’s had kinks, but I’m willing to stick with it.)

A treat for me to see Tinker & Kevin 😍❤️

Thanks for all the tips and supportive comments ❤️ Willow has been supportive too, even when Rambler scoots close to get her chewy 😁 Waiting for p**p test results. Anti nausea medication and a change of food with added probiotics has helped too 👍

We have butterfly weed🧡

As annoying as bugs in your yard may seem, they play a crucial role in the ecosystem. From pollinating flowers to breaking down organic matter, bugs are essential for maintaining a healthy balance in your outdoor space. So next time you see a bug buzzing around, remember that they are an important part of the natural world around you.

Oh buddy 😕 We are back at the vet, waiting for test results. Vomiting at 3 AM and 6 AM today, plus still dealing with diarrhea 😖🥺
