Poor Maddux. I’ve been so focused on Toby and then Bear, I haven’t really talked a lot about Maddux. He’s going through an adjustment stage, and I likely haven’t addressed it as much as I should have, because honestly, I never really thought of it as a big adjustment – although, it is. For those… Continue reading The Maddux Factor
Since there has been so much interest in our new addition, I thought we would give a sneak peek!
Toby and Maddux have some exciting news! They are going to big brothers!!! More info soon!!!
I am so proud of Maddux! Last month he earned his AKC ACT 1 agility title as well as his AKC novice tricks title! The first time he ran the course he nailed it, and finished in 28 seconds with no problems. We were all stunned. The second time, he did it in 58 seconds… Continue reading Maddux’s New AKC Titles

His quality of life is good ~ eating well, active, happy, playing. We are looking at all possible protocols, and will make a decision… Continue reading Today’s Oncology Visit
I’ve never had to watch a dog die. When my childhood dog wasn’t doing well, and it was time to say goodbye, I was a senior in college. It was just after September 11th, and just before my birthday in late September. I remember my dad telling me over the phone they were going to… Continue reading The Things People Don’t Talk About When Their Dog Is Dying
Happy National Puppy Day! To celebrate I just uploaded a bunch of Toby and Maddux puppy photos! Enjoy.
