The Smiths spent the weekend with us and today's their last day of fun at Webb Works Dog Retreat

So far this morning all the dogs got up and did all their business together. And then we proceeded to play the entire morning. Rowdy was caught laying on the dog bed with little bit grooming her and giving her sweeties while she was late on her back belly in the air. Lily ate banana, Jack jettisoned banana out of his mouth like it was poo... Actually he eats 💩, change that to brussel sprouts.
Little bit hoardered the banana pieces like they were a prize and then decided when nobody wanted them it was boring and walked away. Now they're in the car going to Chick-fil-A to get us breakfast. Rowdy has the order, Lora has the money, Jack has the route, Lily has moral support, Kitsu has security, and little bit is the brains of the operation. Should they be successful they will come home with Chick-fil-A for everyone... Unless Rowdy eats it before they get back.... Dum dum dum, stay tuned for the next episode of: Doggy Oceans 6

Pupdate: I'm happy to report that operation "What The Cluck"was a success. Everybody gets a bite. High paws all around 🐾

Too funny 😄
Apparently we've been awarded Nextdoor 2024

I archived our ND account in October of 2023 😆😂, when we became a private dog retreat.

PET RESCUE IN NEED: Hurricane Milton 🌀 storm damage, brand new generator broke, lost all the farm food to the storm, no power, animals passing....
ANIMALS IN NEED, PLEASE HELP if you can 🙏🏽

I can NOT complain. I do my best not to. But we need financial help right away. We came through the very frightening storm with only minor damage and a lot of clean up. We have wonderful and caring volunteers whose job is made impossible by lack of electricity and water and yet they still come. We have real life friends, not just people you see on TV or the internet, who have lost everything. We have a generator and again, selfless people to come help us make it run. We get impossibly lucky to get a Home Depot manager who is also a farmer running his own generator to water his cattle rather than power his home who allows us an exchange when their policy says otherwise. We have food and a way to prepare it even though trash day sees our cans impossibly full with the contents of our fridge and the farm fridge. We have all (you too!) been trucking along doing the best we can trying to help as many animals and people as possible with no space and few resources. But now we are at a full stop. We are simply out of money. Chelsea won’t want me to tell you this. She hates asking for money and yet that has become 90% of her job at the rescue. We have spent what little we had saved after a slow, hot, and dismal summer on the generator, expensive power cords to make to run, the well company, an electrician, the well company again, the tractor repair. None of this is fun or sexy but it’s the only way we’ve been able to get through these last 5 days. All essential to keep the animals alive. Right up until even that is not enough. I am completely gutted by the loss of Trout, my favorite kitten who we have been diligently feeding every 2-3 hours. A kitten who we took on our tiny vacation. A kitten who just last night escaped her room and came marching out with the big cats thinking she would eat biggie food from a biggie bowl with them. Seemingly gone between 4:30 am and 7 am for no reason other than kittens are hard and fragile. And I’m still keeping it sort of together until I realize that I don’t have one single picture of her to post in her memory here. Not one. We e been too busy keeping everyone else going. So here is her friend/sister Millie on vacation in the Jeep. Better times. And if you see me today and I cry, it’s just that today is a very hard day to be a kitten mom. Goodbye Trout. Mama loved you very much. - Claudia

If you can donate in her memory or just because, we desperately need the help. So many people do and it feels awful to ask…

We had someone ask a great question: WHAT IS BLOAT

HERE'S SOME INFORMATION I COMPILED
We hope this information helps you to mitigate the risk factors that can potentially cause bloat in your favorite furry family member 💜

What Is Bloat In Dogs?

Bloat in dogs is a condition in which food or gas stretches a pup’s stomach, causing abdominal pain. While it’s more common in large breed or deep-chested dogs, any breed can develop bloat.

While these conditions can affect in any pup, there are suspected risk factors that can increase the chance of bloat in dogs. These include:

Dogs that ingest large amounts of food or water too quickly

Dogs that weigh more than 99 pounds

Dogs that are male

Dogs that are older

Dogs that are of large breeds and deep-chested

Dogs that exercise immediately after eating

Dogs that eat from an elevated food bowl

Dogs with a family history of bloat

Dogs that eat dry food with fat or oil listed in the first four ingredients

Dr. Katie Grzyb discusses what causes bloat in dogs, including symptoms and common underlying conditions. She also discusses how to manage bloat with medication and when surgery is necessary.
