Oh the life of a dog...
Sadly, not all dogs are as lucky as many of ours.
My little Pack, such lovely and goofy Golden’s.
We are still here, though to be honest I seriously considered deleting this page. I have not been active with it. After several private messages and a few likes, well thinking I’ll give it another go.
Life, it’s been challenging returning to how life was since my parents. Life has past by so much more quiet
Sweet Sophie...last I shared she was diagnosed with DCM. Is on meds, and life is good.
With that stated, please know it is so very serious. She can at any given moment, just collapse.
With each echo, heart monitor so too are her veterinarians so surprised we made the next examination.
In between life has continued without skipping a beat. With that said...walks are shorter...this summer has been brutal heat wise and there have been no walks at times. Though, the shady times of day...we wander the yard. They play, chew sticks...chase each other.
The two younger Golden’s...
They are enrolled in research for dcm at the university for now so many on board and doing research. Such a change from just a year ago.
Sophie was one of their first patients for dcm, they were confused for I had already switched her food...a no no to do so before the taurine test.
The boys are fine and just part of the ongoing research.
The how to and where to send it....me explaining and showing info I had and them doing some investigative research on the Internet.
We live Each day is a gift and not to be wasted 😉
My old gold, Bailey ...this year, well very noticeable that he is slowing down. We have been in search of things to help with his arthritis. I’ve given shots, pills, supplements. Some help, some...not so much.
Not a cure and on those days when he is moving slower, well like with Sophie it is at their pace.
Naps more, we are a pack and I’m all for slowing it down as a matter of fact, as an individual that lives with an autoimmune disease...my dogs have always slowed down and waited on me, I do the same for them. We hang out on the patio and take in some bird watching...or pick up a book and read.
On a bad day....I often take him for a ride...just he and I for it is the little things.
He is always happy and goofy.
