Sadie could really use some healing vibes and prayers...
As some of you already know Sadie was diagnosed with AIHA/IMHA last Saturday. She's on a cocktail of drugs but I'm fearing she's going down hill. I'll likely end up having to take her back to the vet today to be looked at. She's losing all her energy and is uninterested in food now...

Good thoughts and prayers needed
A friend of mine called to tell me about a very sad case involving a woman who was operating as a rescue but was most likely a hoarder. She was recently charged with over 20 counts of animal cruelty. The 25 dogs in her home were seized. She fed over fifty cats but most of them were outside cats. My friend...

Nina Ottosson Puzzles
Last week, I bought this Nina Ottosson puzzle. I opted for the plastic version because two of our guys are wood chewers. It seems to be very durable, & it's wash and wear, which is a must here. My dogs love it & they get very excited to see it come out. That said, I am a bit disappointed...

Made in the USA
I thought it might be nice, given the numbers of toys made in countries where lead and other toxins might be an issue, to have a section where we can post and review toys made in the USA (or Canada). This is a Treatstik food dispensing toy that I like. One end unscrews, so you can load it, and the hole...

Hap has surgery this morning *update*
*Update* We're home! So...either I did an awful job of calming him (I was singing along with the radio on the way to the vet this morning) or he knows that when only one dog goes to the vet, something bad's going to happen. The area's really dark and his stitches are huge but he seems...

And yet another (Callie) *sigh*
Johnny & Tessy -- John has several cockers and now another of his has come up with IMHA (Sadie). !@#)*!#* this disease anyway -- it hits SO hard and some breeds are just SO hard-wired for it. I know John would appreciate your good thots and prayers. He's pretty blown away.

A good friend of mine (she's not on here but we've been e-friends for almost 13 years) has a sweet little Cavalier girl battling AIHA/IMHA. She's doing well -- like Billy she's a fighter, and she's got the **bestest** Mom in the whole wide world to take care of a sick dog. I've...

Missy needs your thoughts.
*EDITED* Missy didn't make it. You can read her memorial page here. RIP little girl. The last time I asked for your thoughts and prayers they were for little Missy when she battled pancreatitis. Well, she's in dire straights again. This time with pulmonary edema, my parents took her to the E...

Food Toys I cannot live without! LOL
Since day one with Zoey I've had food toys, I love that she gets to 'work' for her food. I've also found that the other dogs really enjoy them too. Bella actually just learned last night how to work the food ball! I wanted to list the food toys I used when Zoey was a puppy & now...
