Trail Walk

 I took Willow for a walk on the Gaetz Brook Greenway Trailway, and my Mom and Brandy joined us 🙂 It was a great day for a walk on the trail! 🍂 Willow and Brandy seemed to enjoy it 😊 They went for a swim in the river, too! lol

We all had a great afternoon, 🙂 The girls got lots of compliments, and compliments on their Halloween bandanas, too, that my mom made for each of them 💀 Willow was also extra happy yesterday because she got to go for a little ride with my Dad in his Kubota lol (see pic attached) She loves spending time with my Dad! ❤️ Dad had to bring up his second canoe from the lake, so I helped him with lifting that on to his buggy, and Willow hitched a ride back to the house lol  She was likely a little disappointed that it wasn't a longer ride lol

Enjoy your Thanksgiving 🦃

Camo with the Birds

Hi Don,

Camo (Nov 11 2018, Lu/Lindt) is doing good with the birds and great with the family. She’s 65 lbs of pure chaos, and we’re enjoying all of it. She is a lot of work, is a very high energy dog, her obedience is good, her health is excellent. The vet recently described her as “Perfect”. Thanks so much for an excellent dog, she’s a great addition to our family.

New Copper Toxicsis DNA Test

Copper toxicosis (Labrador retriever type) is an inherited metabolic disease affecting Labrador Retrievers, resulting in chronic liver failure. Dogs with copper toxicosis have a decreased ability to excrete dietary copper from the body resulting in excessive copper storage in tissues and organs, including the liver, which can result in liver damage and subsequent cirrhosis. Though the age of onset and speed of disease progression are variable, most affected dogs will present in middle age with non-specific signs of liver dysfunction including weight loss, lethargy, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In late stages of disease, affected dogs may develop signs of liver failure including abdominal swelling, jaundice, and neurological dysfunction. Dogs found to have one or two copies of the Mutation may benefit from certain therapies.

Finn is simply the most amazing puppy

 Hi Don,

We have been meaning to send you an update for sometime. Other than a little since upset every so often, Finn is simply the most amazing puppy. He’s gentle, funny, perfect health, well behaved and just the most loveable companion two girls could ever want. Did I also mention he’s brilliant. He’s so smart and listens and doesn’t bark unless he really needs your attention to go outside . 

 

We love him very much. 

 

Here’s a little clip from today. And I will also send a few pictures as well.
