Back on October 7th was when we first took Junebug in to the vet for her swollen glands. We are now on our 5th course of antibiotics, the third one of Baytril. She has had her glands aspirated, blood work done, a heartworm/lyme disease test, and last Friday, a biopsy …
I used to give Moree and Smokey all their medication via peanut butter bread. The dogs loved peanut butter and would just gulp the pill down with it. Moree was my picky eater, and it worked for him. I figured it would work for all my dogs. I never expected …
Sometimes it’s really hard not to be paranoid. Today is the last of the first 10 days Junebug has been on the stronger anti-biotic. Her glands are down and softer, but still swollen. On Monday we picked up another 5 day course, so hope it will be gone by then, …
Let’s start with a major pet peeve I have- when I see people driving with their dog in their lap. This is unsafe on so many levels that it drives me crazy. At the same time, I get how it happens. If I had to take June or Larry somewhere …

My mom has an indoor/outdoor cat. She is a sweet and loving little black purr machine. She spends most of her days outdoors, and the nights too, during the summer, but comes inside to sleep when it starts getting cold out. She actually came and slept with me and my …
I want to start by saying that I gew up with a Viszla that slept outside in her kennel in Montana winters. It was as well insulated as we could make it, but still, Montana winter nights get COLD. And she did fine. It wasn’t an issue. So I know …
Maybe I’m not the best person to talk about this as I have determined that I will never have a puppy again. Or maybe I’m not the right person because I haven’t done training classes with my current dogs. However, we are working on Larry’s issues, and most of Junebug’s …
