All three were at the same trough.. missed the photo. But surprise face… Reno let riot drink at the same time as he was.

Yuck!!!!! The earliest we have ever had a tick on on of the Vz was March 30.

Hope not sooner this year.

An increase of ticks could be seen as early as late March due to warmer temperatures.

27/02/2024

Riot has officially joined the “big Vz club”—-he has his own reflective hunting collar.

Back to COLD WHIZZING — for a bit. At least the whole winter has not been like this.

25/02/2024

Somewhere in MN…

Country roads…

Cruising with dad. Riot is very much like RivR in personality. In so many ways. Does not make us miss her less…. Just makes us love him more what a sweet dog.

15/02/2024

The ThreezSlas always were in heart formation.

Missing RivyGirl. Cant believe it’s already been over two months.

Mom let us go bah-hahing today. If you think we look muddy, you should see her SUV.

08/02/2024

Always on alert. Riot watches the team running across the street on the trail. He actually heard them long before their headlamps popped up.

30/01/2024

We have a graduate in the house. Mom worked from home when Reno, Redd and RivR were babies and toddlers and taught them everything they know… but Riot? He got to go to preschool! Thanks Elevate Canine Academy for the boost!!!

Riot graduated yesterday.

Hey mom!! You know that toilet paper that was missing in the bathroom? I found it for you. It was wayyyy back on the bathroom sink - looked like someone was hiding it.

PSA: We adopted our dog, Rowdy, from the shelter 5 years ago. He was already an adult dog, so we estimate he is about 11 or 12 years old at this point. I love this dog. He is the sweetest soul and my BFF. For the past week or so he hasn’t been acting like himself. He licked a raw spot on his foot. He was panting constantly. He was pacing. Sunday morning, the pacing and panting got so bad, and I was REALLY nervous that there was something seriously wrong with him. For 45 minutes, he panted like crazy and constantly paced back and forth. He was keeping his tail tucked down all the time. His ears were pinned back. He would not settle down and he wouldn’t eat. We tried everything. I ended up giving him a trazadone that he takes sometimes when he goes to the groomer. It seemed to take a little bit of the edge off, but not much. He still wouldn’t eat and still wouldn’t settle. I took off work on Monday so I could take him to the vet. We did bloodwork and x-rays. Knowing he is a senior dog, I was trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I was glad to see his bloodwork was great except for some elevated liver enzymes. The x-rays showed he was a little backed up but no major issues. He got an anti-nausea injection and some Gabapentin to help with some tenderness in his back and to hopefully help keep him calm. When we got home, he was ok for a little bit, but eventually started pacing and panting again. We walked around the neighborhood for a long time and he used the bathroom a lot. He seemed pretty happy about that and was in good spirits until we got home and he refused to come back in the house. Every time I took him out that evening, he would hunker down like he didn’t want to come back in the house. When my vet called and I gave her the update, she suggested there may be some new electronic device in the house that was emitting a high frequency noise that is hurting his ears. We had just put new smart outlets in the house about a week ago. His pacing and panting were worse when the lamps were on, so I unplugged all the smart outlets. He stopped panting, stopped pacing, and ate his food. His tail was even up and wagging again. When I plugged the smart outlets all back in and asked Alexa to turn on the lamps, he immediately started panting and pacing again. My husband used an app to test the frequency of the smart outlets. It was off the charts. We've left the outlets unplugged for two days and have confirmed that it is definitely the smart outlets that are causing his stress and discomfort. He's back to being a totally normal dog now. I really thought this was the end for Rowdy based on the way he was acting. I am so thankful for Dr. Newell at BoonesCreek AnimalHospital for figuring out this simple solution. If your pets are exhibiting similar symptoms, you may want to consider checking your electronics first. I cannot express how relieved I am that he is ok now. 😭♥️🐶

FURever a four-pack! Merry Christmas!! Happy New Year.

24/12/2023

Every. Single. Morning.

Riot goes to the corner of the driveway and looks across the road as he “hears” things that go bump in the night.

It’s usually the dedicated runners of Bismarck on the Riverwood path.

He has very good hearing.

He hears:

The dog barking across the river — echoing from Mandan.

The hoot of the owl deep in the trees.

The runners.

The car coming from Fox Island.

The coyote howling from God knows where.

The tiniest of all whispers.

Riot hears.

Then… like a good guard dog, runs, and stands between my feet.

My sister made this into a Christmas card.

Forever a family of Four Vizslas. RivR will forever hold a special place in my heart. She was our little Diva

Merry Christmas.

So there Riot was being all mountain dog like — running down the side of the butte when…. The siren in New Salem went off.

Wham. Screeching halt and he ran right back to mom!

23/12/2023

Out running around the country side and gave all three boys water. When Riot was done he
Ran off with the bowl…. And came back.

23/12/2023

The big boys got some new fluffy cuddle blankets for Christmas. They miss their little sister RivR a lot. Just trying to help them make it through their loss. Redd especially feels it.

23/12/2023

True to his name. He is a riot.

Through the years, you have watched the ThreeZslas pray before they eat. People asked me how I trained them to do so. I. Don’t. Know….. I just was consistent every morning with them. The two boys were easy to train and RivR just fell in line and watched them. So—- Riot has different DNA completely and is very high strung. With him… it’s still going to be all about consistency and letting go to allow growth bit by bit. He is a smart and very loving Vz. He also is growing like a weed.

Practice practice practice.

Riot loves his little toy. We play fetch every morning with it.

RivR and all the boys went for a winter wonderland walk today. If she and Riot had one more month together and she was not sick, they would be the best buds in the world. We did not know Riv was sick when we got Riot. We had planned for a four pack for awhile.

RivR from birth - to meeting her brothers - and coming home with us.

Morning prayer…

Come Lord Jesus ..

#VizslaLife I’m

Riot and Taylor hung out and went hunting this weekend in Southeast ND. Half-siblings. Mommy Maya the same mommy.

Riv even drank water today and has a little wag back.

Morning prayer. Every single day for almost 9 years for Reno and Redd and 8 for RivR.

Come Lord Jesus... be our guest.

Vizsla Kisses

The grand human thinks Vizsla Kisses are the best.

Chasing geese

Reno had some extra energy to burn off tonight so —- he chased a few geese. The grand human squeals with delight.

This is how we play IN and ON the River... IN - summer ON - winter

This summer dad helped our neighbor with his new hunting kennel at the ranch. We think it turned out great. Of course the three of us always cuddle while sleeping so we really loved the quarters. Dad put the baby crib mattress from the back of the truck in the crate verses the elevated sleeping cot.

The grand human is just so sniffable and kissable.

It’s a happy #VizslaLife day! #VizslaIsland is officially back for the summer!!! No early morning runs just because it’s too hot in the afternoon. A sandbar emerges after a summer of river flooding.
