Ammit is a Doberdane of GREAT importance. While she came from humble beginnings as part of a large unexpected litter, the smallest of the group, she rose swiftly in the ranks until she became not only the Doberman Overlord, but the greatest "DANE" queen in existence! We hope you enjoy following her goofy adventures! RIP to our fur family who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge: Lady Death (the original Overlord), Carnage, Maleficent, Ducky, and Monstro. We miss them beyond what words can express.

Harpy was never far from Death. They snuggled every day. This week I’ve noticed her trying to snuggle more with Crucio. He’s not super impressed but he’s allowing it. Typical cat!

Only 6 days left and Ammit comes home! 1/2 Doberman. 1/2 Great Dane. 100% Overlord in Training!

I hope Harpy perks up with her in the house!

Nothing beats the sigh of a fluffy freeloader while you’re busting your hump to get the house clean.

This memory popped up in my feed this past Wednesday. A beautiful 4 year old Death!

Although Ive been on a waitlist for a great breeder for over a year, I still applied to a few different rescues after Death’s passing & was approved. However, the common theme was me passing up on dogs bc I just didn’t feel the pull I wanted.

I was ready to give up and decided maybe it was too soon and I wasn’t ready… but then my husband showed me a listing for a mixed litter he found.

I saw the runt (at least she appears to a runt) & felt the same spark I had with Death. She’s 50% Doberman & 50% Great Dane. Her adoption fee covers vet care and is VERY reasonable.

I feel like she’s going to make a fantastic Doberman Overlord!

I know Death would wholeheartedly approve!

Just some random pictures from my phone that I never got around to posting.

Did you know that Death got to meet a Nightfury at Universal? She was unimpressed, but it was also blazing hot that day and she was as ready to be done as I was!

We took Harpy with us when Death’s time for the bridge arrived. I read online that it was important to let fur siblings see the process if at all possible. Supposedly it helps them understand so they don’t keep waiting for their fur siblings to walk through the door.

Today Harpy seems a bit down. She’s been watchful and calm, but without the usual spark she has.

Death raised her from 4 weeks old. Death played with her, groomed her, taught her how to dog, and snuggled her for her entire life.

Do dogs grieve? Maybe. I’d wager they do based on what I’m seeing.

Today we said goodbye to Death.

An unexpected brain tumor caused a significant rapid decline in her basic functions and today we woke up to her having lost all control of her bowels and bladder.

She left this world with dignity and is surely running free across the Rainbow Bridge.

We werent expecting to loose her so soon. Just last week she was working happily while we were in Florida and had no symptoms other than being a bit slow… I thought that was just old age…

We will meet again though…

A History of the Bark’N Hiss

TBNH began as Super Dogs in 2013 with the purchase of my very first service dog, Will-o-the-Wisp. She and I worked together until 2015 when she was diagnosed with a progressive illness that quickly retired her and subsequently took her across the Rainbow Bridge. During our time together, Willo and I were active in the rescue community and saved countless cats, dogs, and various other small animals (even a wild Pigeon, bunnies, and ducklings). Willo and I were also volunteers with a special needs children program called SOAR and focused heavily on service dog education. Together we guided new service dog handlers down the path of service dog ownership and formed a bond with each other that I never thought could be rivaled.

Willo passed away in December of 2015 at 3 years old due to an unforeseen and incurable illness.

Fast forward almost a year...

One night, I was browsing the puppy ads. By this point I had looked into many different breeds and breeders and had yet to find the right pup or breeder for me. I eventually came across an ad for Dobermans. The breed scared me due to their reputation, which I knew was ignorance on my part, and I decided not to let that ignorance keep me from a possibly great match, so I clicked on it. I never expected to see any particular pup that would call out to me in any special way, however, as I was scrolling through the pictures, I found “the one”.

Yuriko was a lanky thing. At 4 months old, she was all ears, legs, and paws. I showed my husband, who thought she looked cute and we agreed to meet her. I knew next to nothing about Dobermans at this point, so of course we binged on videos and as much information as we could before the meeting.

FYI: Impulse buys rarely ever work out and I NEVER suggest them for anyone. Especially for a service dog. Researching the breeds your considering, carefully choosing a breeder, and really considering your needs vs the dog’s needs are all extremely important to find a proper match that will work with you for many wonderful years. I did none of this and there have been many issues that could have been avoided had I been patient and not let puppy pictures sway me.

Anyway, despite the many red flags from the breeder I found online, I brought Yuriko home on July 4th. I played with a few names but ultimately decided to name her Lady Deathstrike from the X-men, who’s human name was Yuriko Oyama. Yuriko subsequently learned to respond to the names Death and Yuriko.

Bonding with Yuriko took what seemed like forever. Bonding with a Service Dog is on a whole different level than bonding with a pet. Don’t get me wrong, pet bonds are something so amazing and I have had many awesome pets in my life, but bonding with a Service Dog is an entirely different experience.

This dog will be with you literally 24/7 and as such will become an extension of you. This dog can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. As such, the bond between you runs stronger and deeper than you can possibly imagine. Loosing that bond with one dog who’s passed away and then trying to form it with another takes time and is a very emotional experience.

I’d say it took about a year of training together and working through challenges as they came at us for she and I to truly form that special bond and once it was formed, it was as if the flood gates opened and she and I became a true team.

Yuriko now works tireless for me with an entirely new set of tasks to mitigate my disabilities specifically chosen to keep from burning her out by putting to much of my needs on her shoulders. While she does work hard, Yuriko also has plenty of time to just be a dog with my kids, goof off at the dog park, run around on hikes, and even around laze about the house. I call her my “part time Service Dog” as I try very hard to utilize as many avenues as possible to mitigate my needs.

Together Yuriko and I have jumped head first back into the rescue world (that’s how we ended up with her 3 feline side kicks, Carnage, Poison, and Riot) and she helped inspire my children’s book series. In addition Yuriko is in classes with me for competition obedience and agility! We also participate in CaniX, mountain style, and go on many adventures as possible together!

So far, Yuriko and I have fed sharks, flown in crop planes, fed giraffes, played with robot dinosaurs, traveled all over the eastern USA states, went dolphin watching, and more! The list keeps growing so please follow our page for more fun adventures, fun updates, kitty side kick stories, and more!

Update:

As of 04/2020 Yuriko now has a new sidekick: Maleficent the Asian Black Chicken! Shes a fun little feather ball and keeps us all on our toes! Keep watching the page for more feather, whisker, and fur fun!
