Happy birthday Joy!
Oh Poodles!
Cane Drews is the five year old German Shepherd of my friend Laura Drews and her family.
I love this picture of him so much!
Cane is Schutzhund trained and knows German, English and hand signals.
Cane goes on walks with Laura constantly and assists with Laura’s Citizen Patrol duties.
Good boy Cane!
And excellent Frisbee catch!

The family's third and final Labrador came in for his wellness care a few weeks later.
Their other older Lab had been swimming and playing most of the day and was now unable to walk.
A lifetime of well managed arthritis had finally caught up with him.
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!
Me: Why are there no girl socks clean?
Amanda: Socks aren’t gender-specific, Mom.
Me: I need pink socks smaller than Dad’s!
Amanda: Better.
Dr. Perry graduated in 1956, and his Dad, also a vet, graduated in 1931.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It is one of my best memories from when I was a kid.
I had a sweet cat patient named Finnegan. Finnegan is not past tense! He is just in the incredible care of Dr. Thomassen now, what with my cat allergies and all. I keep this on my board to remind me of him.
WHY do I do that? At least it's not very often!
Dr. Belling and his team at Summit Dental Health in Dundee and Bellevue are excellent.
Irma saw me at the grocery store and said, "You need raisins?! Put those back! I have some in my pantry you can have!"
I offered a treat. Mom said, "Wait! He sits on command!"
While service dogs have long been a part of public life, there has been a visible increase in the number of emotional support dogs and therapy dogs in public spaces.
The goal of cancer care in people is survival at any cost. The goal of cancer care in pets is return to a high quality of life. Both are valid goals, but they are very different.
I hate when a family comes in with a friend and I send them home with only a collar.
