Everything here has been inspired by one beautiful girl, my Vegas Rose. My goal with this blog is to detail our training focusing primarily on agility. At times I may diversify the content a bit by delving into other training related topics such as core strengthening, but the ultimate goal is to showcase Great Danes and their versatility.Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.comBlogger329125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-37126623592014230452018-10-23T14:31:00.001-07:002018-10-23T14:32:26.676-07:00Pumpkin Patch - Part II<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our second stop was to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie's Island, a short hop down from Bella. The Pumpkin Patch has a long history and is highly visited. But it's not my kind of place. I'm not a commercialized kind of gal, I guess. That's my mistake and where I first went wrong. I should have known better and when parking alone on a weekday was so difficult, I should have turned away.<br />
<br />
My second error was gravel as far as the eye could see. Where was the field? Where was the farm? Anything but farm-like buildings in dark red paint? It was all built to look like barns but that was it. Barn buildings and parking lots. But that wasn't the worst. Totally not dog friendly. Oh sure, they were allowed. But not on the hay ride to the field (which existed, but was so far from the parking areas as to be completely not feasible for my dear old girl). And not in the field. And presumably not in any of the buildings. So basically she was allowed in the parking lots on gravel and the small garden near the road. Blah.<br />
<br />
So here was our hour long trip to The Pumpkin Patch.<br />

The only reason we spent that much time was because by the time we parked and figured out the lay of the land and unwelcoming environment, it was hot, her tongue wagging, and we needed shade. We ended up sitting at a picnic table near the gardens and visited with a young couple and their toddler daughter where, inevitably, Vegas was a big hit. 2018 pumpkin patch visits in the bag.Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-35819867942146168262018-10-15T22:12:00.000-07:002018-10-15T22:12:03.212-07:00Pumpkin Patch - Part IBecause I don't want to wait but I am trying to take better care of me, and thus my critters, by sticking to a schedule these days, I'll post a couple of pics (and I know that's what everyone really wants to see anyway) and get to my ramblings later.<br />
<br />
We went to Sauvie's Island for lack of any better suggestions. I had posted to Facebook asking for personal experience/suggestions but really didn't get anything that were closer to home. I really like a place called Lakeview Farms and I'm sure if I dig back in my blog far enough I've shared about our adventures there in the past. However, they are a solid hour's drive west from us and that's a bit much in the car for Vegas these days. Sauvie's is a half hour which is plenty. Knowing I could find at least one place I was familiar with good photo-ops and pretty scenery was what I needed. I would love to find a bit more photogenic places in the future but that will just take time and energy to make the tour 'o' farms, I suppose, to figure it out.<br />
<br />
So we hit up <a href="https://bellaorganic.com/" target="_blank">Bella Organic Farms</a> first. I've been there before. They have easily accessible parking, clearly marked entrance and exit, and a homey atmosphere.<br />

Here's Vegas hanging out in the BRIGHT sunshine at the front of the corn maze. She really needed her shades today. Maybe a cool coat, too.<br />

Then she just decided to go be with the band for a few. I know she needs to put a few pounds on but thankfully not as many as these guys!<br />

This should have been a great shot. For a year and a half or so I've been doing my darndest to shoot manual. However, that doesn't always work these days with a senior dog and achy bones. Asking her to hold poses for any length of time just isn't fair when I have a learning curve. And going from shade to sun to shade to sun and my not knowing how to change settings quickly, well, it just didn't work out - mostly because the lighting overshot the backdrop and you cannot see the words. Oh well. She's a great sport. People, of course, were in awe of her as always with her cooperation with me.<br />

And here she is, Miss America...... Miss Beautiful.... Miss Wonderful? Okay, all of the above. She's my everything. Such a trooper. Did I mention it was dry and fabulous out there? There were even clover growing where these pumpkins were. I'm always fascinated by pumpkin "patches." So often it's not even where they were grown. They are just a place to place them for customer convenience sake. Anyway, it worked for us with the cornstalks in the background. The bigger patch was further away and I didn't want her walking that far. So we took full advantage here of the lusher setting, full, dark pumpkins. And my pretty poser. She's a pro through and through.<br />
<br />
Here's a few more and I'll call it a night. More tomorrow on the rest of our outing.<br />

What's amazing to me is what I used to do have on my plate when I posted a lot as compared to what I do now. I run through my mind these posts on a fairly frequent basis but somehow never sit down and write them. Perhaps it's time that needs to change. But no commitments for now because the truth is, I just can't make them. Life has too many things up in the air right now and all I can do is enjoy the moments. So without further ado, here are today's moments.<br />
<br />
Vegas will be 12 on October 24. One of the things I have come to realize she misses the most as she has aged is the social interaction she enjoyed in all the years of doing agility and whatnot. We were always on the go, even if it wasn't a dog show. From the kids to our comings and goings from home, running in and out, my taking her places with me, there was rarely a time she didn't have interaction with others or trips from home that allowed some sort of stimulation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHnPpFx_z6tvH0Tj5GH3t02ndVFQ_DjQ4xfAq0o0hZ6JuCSolFhm04A3mPmFUqJ0SaDvAYfmdLuh4Jh-m3dCTh_HjddkN1_NL2f6L1Q-3T2N5Mv8XUub7IHnDEJBnZs7s-C-1NO-O6duSZ/s1600/KMM_1140e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="947" data-original-width="1600" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHnPpFx_z6tvH0Tj5GH3t02ndVFQ_DjQ4xfAq0o0hZ6JuCSolFhm04A3mPmFUqJ0SaDvAYfmdLuh4Jh-m3dCTh_HjddkN1_NL2f6L1Q-3T2N5Mv8XUub7IHnDEJBnZs7s-C-1NO-O6duSZ/s400/KMM_1140e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
As she's aged, as life has changed, as I've worked more, my kids were grown, I've become more of a homebody, there just hasn't been as much cause to leave. Our home now has so many stairs and leaving it isn't as easy. She isn't as able to just pick up and go for long walks or trips even in the car like we could on a level surface. Lots of reasons life is more quiet but I know that actually is so impacting that it could almost be construed or interpreted as depressing to her. So we've been working on getting out of that funk, trying to do a short walk at least every other day and seeking to do so during more busy times of the neighborhood so there's a social interaction likely as well.<br />
<br />
Plus, with her birthday coming up and a brief health scare with some tummy troubles last week, I decided we would do a lot of fun stuff with all the nice weather this week. So lots of outings and I will for sure be documenting all of that.<br />

Today we went to Sellwood Riverfront Park. There's access to the river, an off leash (unfenced) dog park, a beautiful wooded trail, and the amusement park is dog friendly if we had wanted to walk there. It was stunning. She forgets she's not a puppy and even tried to chase a couple of dogs. She walked right into the river, drank a bit, we strolled a bit along to shore, but her favorite by far is always the woods. Oh boy is she a trail dog. I blame that on our Wilsonville days. She always enjoyed the woods we had at Memorial Park - which was really not a big deal. There was just a looping configuration of trails throughout a few dozen acres of woods fronting the river between it and the park but we spent many, many, many days and hours there. I truly think today was a happy day for my old girl and the smiles show it. She should sleep very well tonight. </div>

I wouldn't know Rachel if it wasn't for Vegas, our agility "career," and the world through which our paths crossed. Here is a tribute I posted to Facebook earlier today, a few hours after I learned of my dear friend Rachel's death. Rachel was just 40. She was healthy, strong, doing Crossfit, and starting to love life again.<br />
<br />
Background: Four weeks ago tomorrow she had a swollen foot, she thought just a bit of edema from a blister that had split and gotten infected on her foot. She'd been treating it, keeping it clean, etc., but clearly it was not doing well. She was busy, thought she could take care of it, and let it go. By Thursday of that week she was nauseous, vomiting, and in urgent care. They gave her antibiotics and told her she needed to get to the ER if it got worse. By Friday afternoon it was worse and she called me. I got off work that evening, packed a bag, dropped my Poms with my mom, and Vegas and I headed to Tualatin. She was at the hospital awaiting surgery and I was to exchange cars with her, stay at her house that night, and take her dogs to her friend's in Springfield, Oregon the next day.<br />
<br />
While she didn't bounce right back from surgery - spent almost three weeks vomiting and had to go back for another surgery - it seemed she was getting the care she needed. The foot, ultimately, had succumbed to cellulitis and morphed into osteomylitis which is why she had the surgeries. Her mom had flown out from West Virginia to stay with her while she recovered. The dogs were still at her friend's since she wasn't getting around well and didn't need their buoyant selves further injuring her.<br />
<br />
Today, around 11 am, I checked my Facebook messages to see one from Rachel's sister. Rachel had a sudden pulmonary embolism yesterday at home that took her from this world. Rachel was mentioned many times on my blog, a blogger herself for a couple years on <a href="http://www.boxersdoitbest.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Boxers Do It Best</a>.<br />
<br />
I hate goodbyes, especially sad and too soon ones, so farewell, my friend. I hope to see you again over the bridge some day.<br />
<br />

To put into words what seems unthinkable, what is so wrong, what should never happen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
To honor my friend. <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=589671374" href="https://www.facebook.com/tennantr" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Rachel Tennant</a>. She was just 40. She's had a rough couple years. Setting a career path and having it be so disillusioning, disheartening after so many years effort. But she was on the right track. A better job, one she could leave at the office at the end of the day, one that could give her back some freedom and allow joy and hobby and life. I saw the changes this brought in Rachel...in her attitude, her outlook, her spirit. I was so happy for her.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Rachel and I were fast friends, partners in crime in a sport we didn't quite fit into...because of the kind of dog we had. Agility, you see, is for people with herding breeds. But we had working breeds, she her Boxers and me a Dane. So we supported each other, entered the same trials, crated together, videod for one another, supported each other. Quite frankly like no other could. We had goals and ambitions, and we were making it happen. In between, we laughed, we saw movies, we went to Magic Mike in theater, we even went to a "live show" that shocked our socks off (and made me more than a little embarrassed).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When I fought with Ty, Rachel was there to bring a bottle of booze or to hear me rant. When he died, she was there. When I went through the most trying year of my life, moved away, and shut people out, Rachel was there anyway. When I lost my little Juicy, Rachel came out, told me what had happened, stayed while I cried and cried and cried, and she took care of my sweet puppy - even though she was a "not dog" in Rachel's book. You see, tiny, fluffy, purse sized dogs were not Rachel's thing. But loyalty and friendship? They were.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Rachel was strong and fierce and independent. She didn't ask for help. She didn't like to ask for help.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When Rachel went into the hospital three weeks ago, I had a chance to help. She resented it but I didn't. More than ever now, I'm glad I could help but wish it was more.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Rachel loved her Boxers. She achieved many things with her well known and beloved Harry Potter. Many don't know Nikita, but she started it all for Rachel. Nikita lived until 15, incredible for her breed. Rachel, I'm not faithful, not religious, but I hope you were greeted joyfully on the other side by these two. I'll miss you, my friend. I'll miss your humor, your intellect, your sarcasm, the hikes, the trials, and the unwavering friendship you always gave.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Rest in peace, dear friend. Enjoy the agility course over the bridge. Until we meet again.</div>

We hope to be back the beginning of April. Stay tuned for lots of news, updates, PHOTOS, and more regular posts. Gosh, I sure hope so. It's been a year so far and my "discipline" is slipping due to overwhelming work obligations.<br />

<br />
Today was beautiful out. Fluffy clouds. Light breezes. Sunny skies. Increasing temps. Last year around this time we had a rare bout of snow. Took the pups out for a nature hike today. We started at one of our hotspots, a Vernonia Trailhead but there were TOO MANY PEOPLE. A total of less than a half mile and we were back at the truck and taking off for a less populous locale.<br />

Vegas says, "It was a great time and we got back to the truck TIRED. Then Mom stopped and got us ice cream. Yum yum, I love ice cream. The rest of the day we napped until it was time for dinner then we went back to napping. I love getting out and having fun in the woods. There were excellent smells, lots of critters were there that I don't know what they were (Mom says elks and coyotes and deer.) and my nose was going crazy. It was a most excellent time with my mom."Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-56961696245600911092015-02-05T20:41:00.000-08:002015-02-05T20:41:12.489-08:00Canine Good CitizenI came down with a bug last weekend and was under the weather just a couple of days.

I'm so proud of Vegas. Is this her greatest accomplishment? No. But it's a step to us getting back in the game. It's progress toward our next phase of life and her latest "job." She's going to be a therapy dog! She earned this title at the same time we took the Therapy Dogs test.Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-12999187538538184792015-02-05T20:36:00.000-08:002015-02-05T20:36:24.096-08:00DisciplineWait, wait, wait a minute.

The kind of discipline I'm talking about is the more self-involved type. The type that dictates how you proceed through life, your commitment, follow-through, etc. It's something I'm both very much so and very much lacking in. How is that possible? I'll explain.<br />
<br />
Lately I've been struggling. A lot. In my brain swirls three thousand things I want to get done, need to get done, MUST get done. And in the end, a lot of time I get nothing done. And then sometimes I get tons done. I'm incredibly inconsistent. I have so many goals with my dogs, financial ability aside. There are things I can do if only I were disciplined. Case in point. Denise Fenzi has one of the most popular online formats and course offerings for dog classes. I cannot afford them, not even at the bronze level. But she offers scholarships from time to time. But I lack the discipline to monitor those offerings and pursue them when made.<br />
<br />
Discipline. It's both my curse and my grace. So now that I've started this post, a post I thought up and allowed to swirl around my brain for the last couple of weeks, well, I'm going to let it fester some more and pursue it on a deeper level in my next post. Who knows; it may end up a strung out repeat topic for a while. And perhaps it will lead me to becoming disciplined again in the areas where Vegas needs me to be.Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-69115729196667240062015-02-03T21:00:00.001-08:002015-02-04T20:34:34.268-08:00Bloody Toe<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had an unexpected injury over the weekend. We went on a long walk down highway 47 and up the B Street Trail. The weather was beautiful, mid-50s, and sunny. Finally a day we could get out and enjoy. Before heading toward home, we cruised up through the Pacific University campus for a little more off leash time. We ran into a couple little girls who wanted to say hello to Vegas. They admired her Seahawks get-up... Green and blue painted toenails and team collar. One of the girls got a curious look on her face and pointed at a rear foot. Vegas was bleeding.</div>

Upon close inspection it appeared the flap of protective skin over the quick had torn. She was bleeding from the quick. At that point it was clear we needed to hear for home so off we went.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
By the time we got home three of her toes were bloody. Fortunately though, it was just the one bleeding. I tied her leash to the inside of the front door and scrambled to find some supplies. A few minutes later I was soaking her foot in soapy, warm water. After drying it I applied some colloidal silver then wrapped some gauze across the toenails and used hot pink wrap. She got settled, a bit unhappily, on the couch. She didn't like having her foot wrapped one bit. I was a little worried about keeping it wrapped. I had plans to go out that evening and had visions of coming home to blood spatters everywhere and ruined carpet. She kicked it off once before I left and I rewrapped it. </div>
<div dir="ltr">

I think the cause of it was twofold. I had dremeled her nails on Thursday evening so they were fresh and short. It happened on a rear leg and she occasionally <u>drags</u> those toes when we're walking. The combination of a quick exposed and concrete was not a good thing.</div>

Around Thanksgiving time Vegas started limping. In fact, it was the day before Thanksgiving. I came home from work a little early and headed out with she and a puppy that had been visiting, Quinn. We took advantage of the nice weather and daylight and did a little over 4 miles. She was her normal self, sniffy, happy, and enthusiastic about being out. As soon as we got home and came inside, she was lame on her right front. I thought it was her shoulder. I basically decided to rest her for a few days and see if she got better. She'd had off and on lameness issues and I know she can be a bit enthusiastic so a soft tissue strain is not unlikely.<br />
<br />
By the middle of the weekend with no improvement though, I was starting to let panic and "worst case scenarios" set in. After all, Great Danes are known for getting <a href="http://www.wearethecure.org/osteosarcoma.htm" target="_blank">osteosarcoma</a>. Around the same time lots and lots (and lots) of Great Dane friends were receiving an osteo diagnosis or had recently or were losing their dogs to this terrible cancer. By Saturday I was trying to get her in to see a chiropractor. I'd first pursued the regular vet for x-rays but since they couldn't fit her in for over a week figured the chiropractor might be able to adjust her and she'd see some relief. This was me optimistically trying to think of something else other than the dreaded C word. I almost had an appointment but the cost was going to be nearly double what our usually chiro is so I decided I could wait. On Saturday I called the vet up the street and made an appointment for Monday for x-rays. Our regular chiropractor was able to get us in on Tuesday so at least I could look forward to both of those things in hopes of having my mind put to ease.<br />
<br />
On Monday at the vet, we saw a newer doctor at the practice. She was wonderful. She listened thoroughly and did a comprehensive exam particularly spending time manipulating Vegas' front legs and asking her to move them in all manner of directions. She, of course, knew osteo was common in big dogs such as Danes, but given the symptoms she said she didn't think it necessarily was the first place to jump to. After examining her, she actually felt like Vegas might be a little sensitive in her low neck/upper back area on the left side which could explain compensation on the right.<br /><br />Dr. Lyn thought going to see the chiropractor was a good idea. Since she didn't immediately think osteo, rush to x-ray, I decided to wait. We did decide to do a cold laser treatment though, just in case that gave her some relief. So that was the end of that visit and we went to see Dr. Mike on Tuesday. I took the day and worked from home so we could head out to his place in Carlton mid-day. Long story short on that one, he worked her over very good, found she had a couple of tweaky spots which was to be expected since it had been about two years since her last adjustment, but felt thickening in her elbow as opposed to concern over her shoulder (which is where I thought the pain was). At that point, despite a good adjustment, he still thought x-rays were in order.<br />
<br />
On our way out of Carlton I called Kindness back again and was able to get an appointment for x-rays a few hours later. Let's just say the stress returned in full force.<br />
<br />
So I went home to work a few hours and was back at the vet around 4:15 that day. We saw another female vet as Dr. Lyn was out for two days. She basically repeated the exam, asking questions, and doing her own checkup of Vegas. We then moved forward with getting x-rays. I walked with her to the x-ray room and left Vegas in her care and the technician. I went to wait in the waiting room.<br />
<br />
Ten minutes passed, then perhaps fifteen or twenty. I was wondering what was taking so long but since I didn't hear anything didn't get overly anxious. Finally the doctor came out to see me. She wanted to know if they could give Vegas an injection to help calm her down; she was giving them difficulty with x-rays, too tense, etc. I went ahead and OK'd it and another thirty minutes passed. At that point the doctor came to get me and I went to meet them in the x-ray room. She and the tech first wanted to show me the wound on Vegas' inner thigh/knee. She'd struggled on the x-ray table and scraped her knee to the point they had to put surgical glue on it. The leg also had a bruise forming and Vegas was pretty worked up.<br />
<br />
They showed me the x-rays and I got to breathe a huge sigh of relief when the doctor showed me what she called osteophytes in her right elbow, but didn't mention cancer. I broke down, in fact, in sheer relief. She was surprised and in her response, had no idea why I'd worried about that since we were looking at elbows, said "osteo doesn't occur in elbows." At that point, she realized our concern and we talked about the fact that I had suspected shoulder initially, the chiropractor thought something was amiss with the elbow, and that the first doctor had put in the chart to radiograph both elbows and shoulders. The stress started sneaking back. The doctor said we could go ahead and do shoulder x-rays if I wanted. At that point Vegas was done. I was done. We were emotionally tapped out.<br />

We wrapped things up, she gave me a CD of the x-rays, and we paid and left. When I got home, Vegas was a mess. She almost immediately went to the back door and as she came back toward me like, "Hurry up, Mom" she was squatting in the rear. It appeared as if she was trying to defecate. I let her out quickly and watched as she hobbled into the yard, now not only her front right bothering her but her rear left. It was a sad, sad, heartbreaking thing to watch. I started getting concerned. She came in after having had diarrhea only to rush back out again a few moments later. I didn't feed her although it was past that time because she had the medication at the vet and her tummy was off. After she was done going outside I brought her in and got situated on the couch. She started crashing, not acting right. I couldn't keep her warm. She was jumpy like she was hallucinating. She even snapped at Leo once. She was starting to scare me.<br />
<br />
As I'm there, on the couch with her, I've got her wrapped in blankets and I'm FB messaging with a friend who was a vet tech for years and texting with another friend who is a vet. My vet tech friend, Mel, was telling me to check her pulse or heart rate and I just couldn't get it figured out. It seemed like she was breathing shallowly but her color remained good. If I had known this was going to happen... the vet's office didn't give me any clues when I left. As I'd been checking out she was still amped up on adrenaline is what I figured so no signs of all this. No additional lameness from the injury that occurred there, no shocky signs, no doped up post-anesthetic demeanor. Nothing. I had no idea this was coming. It was AWFUL. It took about 3 hours on the couch cuddling with her before I could get up and do anything else. It took another hour or two for her to act semi-normal. We finally went to bed around 11 that night and she'd had a small dinner and was nearly herself, albeit a little dopey and woozy still.<br />
<br />
By the next morning, fortunately, she was back to normal except the lameness was way worse. I stewed on everything for two days. I was very upset and disappointed. My girl was worse from all the harassment of medical professionals. The vet did something and caused her further injury - why didn't they come get me sooner? Why would they try to fight with a 120 pound dog? And they never prepared me for what I was going home to that night. I finally called and had to leave a message for the first doctor I had seen. She called me back a day later. I learned at that time the second vet was none other than one of the practice owners. I couldn't believe it.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, in addition to the two things I mentioned already, the vet hadn't taken the x-rays we really wanted and she had overcharged me. I expected 2 x-rays, perhaps 3, but not 5 which is what I realized I'd been charged for the next day. Dr. Lyn was empathetic, listened to my concerns and told me she would call back. I spoke with her on Saturday and she offered to either refund me two x-rays that were not necessary, give me a credit to use on a future visit, or comp me the x-rays of Vegas' shoulders that we wanted. She also told me I could be there during x-ray except when they actually took the image, at which point I would just step out around the corner of the room.<br />

<br />
This is the option I chose and we went in Monday to see her again and get those x-rays. Fortunately, those shoulder x-rays showed Vegas clear of any tumors or suspicious activity. So at present, what we ended on was a diagnosis of osteophytes in her elbow which basically causes arthritis and a plan for me to get her on <a href="http://www.adequancanine.us/" target="_blank">Adequan</a>. Over the course of that week I shopped for the best price on adequan and got a written prescription from Dr. Lyn.<br />
<br />
She was to get 2.5ml twice weekly for a month followed by 2.5ml once a week for two weeks then to move to once a month. I'm happy to report that Vegas is now moving into the once monthly phase of her adequan treatment and in the last week or so I think I've seen improvement. We'll never get to return to agility again and I have to monitor her activity more. She's got an ongoing prescription for <a href="http://www.merckmanuals.com/vet/management_and_nutrition/pain_assessment_and_management/analgesic_pharmacology.html" target="_blank">tramadol </a> and we use this to mitigate any discomfort from activity. She's not limping nearly as perceptibly any longer and we're enjoying regular walks again. I'm very grateful for the relationship with Dr. Lyn and hope that Vegas continues moving forward in a positive fashion with no further setbacks. I aged at least ten years during that experience and it breaks my heart to see so visibly my girl aging.<br />

You might recall she was a participant <a href="http://danescanq.blogspot.com/2010/12/52-weeks-of-vegas.html" target="_blank">before</a>. She's actually been my subject 3 or 4 years and is heading into it again here for 2015. I'm really proud of how we did this year with only three missed submissions, weeks 30, 33, and 46. Without further ado, here are her submissions for 2014 (in order):<br />

(Sorry for the couple of photos turned sideways. They aren't on my computer but for some reason Blogger does that. It's like they may have been turned that way when they were taken and it picks that up from the photo's data or something.)Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-65216738567812217412015-01-10T19:39:00.000-08:002015-02-05T20:40:36.156-08:00Therapy Dogs TestingFor a while now it's been on my to do list to get Vegas certified as a therapy dog. She loves people. She has always loved people. It's been my ongoing half-joke that I was never sure which part of our agility days Vegas liked best - the agility or the people. With all of our ups and downs lately, I knew we needed to move sooner rather than later if I was going to give her a chance to have a "job" again. On Wednesday I learned there was going to be a <a href="http://www.tdi-dog.org/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Therapy Dogs International (TDI)</a> test at the upcoming <a href="http://rosecityclassic.org/" target="_blank">Rose City Classic</a> cluster of dog shows. Immediately I inquired and downloaded the test registration form.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tdi-dog.org/HowToJoin.aspx?Page=New+TDI+Test" target="_blank">Requirements</a> for the test can be found by clicking on the link. The only area of the test I am concerned about is the one in regard to someone else holding Vegas' leash and my being out of site. It's not that she'll do anything bad. It's that she has separation anxiety from me. It's really a silly part of the test, in my opinion, because the chances of a handler ever having to be separated from their dog are slim to none. But it's a part of the test and we must be prepared.<br />
<br />
So how to deal with this little facet? We have a local Facebook page I posted to. My ad:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3999996185303px; line-height: 15.4559993743896px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
ISO: This is sort of a strange request. I would like to get my Great Dane therapy tested next Friday. The purpose of the therapy test is to allow her to become a therapy dog so that she can go to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, the library and things like that. It's a job basically. For her.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3999996185303px; line-height: 15.4559993743896px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The feature of the test that she will struggle with the most is the one that requires me to hand her leash to someone else and be out of sight for a moment. In the upcoming days and o<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ver the weekend is there anybody that would be willing to meet me somewhere here in Forest Grove and just simply allow me to hand her leash off and walk away for a minute or two? She's not aggressive and she won't drag anybody all over the place. She mostly will whine and pace in circles around you and I just would like to try and desensitize her as much as possible in hopes of being able to pass the test. Any takers?</span></div>
<br />
I actually got a lot of responses! I was pleasantly surprised. Yesterday we started our little adventure. The first lady we met at her house. She was about 7.5 months pregnant (!) and still willing to help out. I chatted with her a few and then left Vegas with her and walked around the corner behind some shrubbery and a tree that Vegas couldn't see me through. She whined but did not pull, tug, or try to leave. Hooray!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a visit to the college campus for Vegas to stretch her legs a little, we met up with another lady. She works at a new storage facility being built and so largely the place was empty, echoing, and filled with places for me to disappear to. I left her with Vegas twice, the first time for one minute and the second time for two. Again, Vegas was whiny but listened when asked to sit, wandered around on lead with the lady briefly, and cooperative.<br />
<br />
Today (Saturday), we met up with another two lovely women. The first was at a local <a href="http://www.forestgrove-or.gov/city-hall/parks-recreation/parks-recreation-lincoln-park.html" target="_blank">park</a>. She is a college student who absolutely loves dogs. We walked and talked for a few minutes then took advantage of a sheltered cover and a nearby restroom building. I left Vegas with her under the shelter and walked past the bathroom and stood behind it. The first time she was quite whiny but stood still watching the direction I left. The second time she was nervous and shaking but quiet off and on. I think she was distracted by the young mother and small boy who came up the sidewalk nearby.<br />
<br />
After we left the park we headed to the Plaid Pantry near the high school. The lady we met up with there has a couple of dogs of her own and has fostered many dogs. When I first tried to hand the leash off Vegas tried to pull away and come toward me. We moved to another location in the parking lot and tried again. I believe the first time the lady tried to walk with her and that is kind of a no-no as Vegas mistook that for meaning they were coming to find me. I left Vegas with her again and went inside the Plaid Pantry where I had the vantage point of being able to see her. She whined rather pathetically never taking her eyes from the front of the store. But she did not fight, pull, or try to escape.<br />
<br />
So far we've tried four times. All four times she was cooperative but whiny. The test requirements are worded as follows:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Check-in and out of sight (between 2-3 minutes)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<i><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Test #2:</span> The handler is asked to complete the paperwork and check in. At that time a helper will ask the handler if he/she can help by holding the dog. If the handler prefers he/she can go with the helper and places the dog with a stay command. The dog will be out of sight of the handler. Another helper will take charge of the dog. The helper can talk to and pet the dog. The dog can sit, lie down, stand or walk around within the confine of the leash.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b>Whining, barking, pulling away from the helper is an automatic failure.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
Given that information, I'm uncertain now if we will go ahead with the test. I'm discouraged because I don't think I can break the whining. I am going to chat with a lady who I believe used to administer the tests and see if she knows how lenient they may be on that topic. It's sad because she is completely okay with all the other requirements and she wouldn't harm anyone. She just doesn't like being away from her mom and is vocal about it. Guess we'll see but I do have more people to go see and keep trying.Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-3484083657607625012015-01-04T17:13:00.000-08:002015-01-18T05:45:29.610-08:00Out With the Old2014, especially as of late, has sucked. Big. Damn. Time. In a nutshell, Vegas has had a myriad of health issues that have pinned us with a one-two-three. But I swear it. We will win.<br>
<br>
<b>BIG, BAD <span style="font-size: large;">BLOAT</span> </b>Yes, it happened to us.<br>
<br>
On Sunday night October 19, Vegas started acting strange. The evening was quiet and we were on the couch when suddenly she jumped up to go outside. She didn't rush but she didn't take her time going out. I let her out and she proceeded into the yard. At first it appeared she tried to urinate. Then she stood relatively still, head not quite hanging. She tried eating grass. Then she came inside.<br>
<br>
She repeated this a second time but on this go 'round she went into the middle of the yard and sat. By that time I was on the phone with my friend, Rachel (a veterinarian). When Vegas returned inside I took her temperature. It was normal. I checked her gums which were the correct color and capillary refill time was good. I gave her gas-x cause, well, that's just what I do with her every time something is amiss. I finally started palpating her neck and back to see if it was a pain problem. She seemed like her neck might be a little tweaky so we got some tramadol on board. And then she jumped up for a third time to go outdoors. This time she tried to vomit. Quick as a flash I was off the phone, crating Leo, and out the door. I honestly still don't know if the vomiting was productive or not. It was dark and I didn't stick around to check.<br>
<br>
On the road I called <a href="http://www.tanasbourneveter.com/" target="_blank">Tanasbourne Emergency Vet</a> to let them know we were headed in. They assured me they would be ready and take Vegas immediately to their treatment room for an x-ray. As I drove I knew in my head exactly where I was going. Though I had not had to make a trek to emergency yet, the location in my mind was set. Upon arrival, I got Vegas out of the truck. She had some difficulty stepping down from the back. I have a Chevy Silverado 1500 with a backseat with the doors that open the opposite direction of the front doors. The back seat was folded up so her step down was perhaps 20" but she struggled a bit in her discomfort and pain.<br>
<br>
We walked in and I saw their sign that said they were open to 10. Almost simultaneously I saw a brochure for the Tanasbourne Emergency Vet Clinic. I thought that odd. Wasn't that where we were? However, stress prevailed and I plowed into my introduction to the hapless receptionist. She realized my error but said she would see if the vet could see her. She left us in the waiting room and for what seemed like an eternity but for what was probably 15 seconds, I warred with staying or going in my head. She'd briefly explained where Tanasbourne was and I decided to leave. Poor Vegas, I had to drag her back out of the clinic, ask her to get into the truck, and then ask her to ride the 10 minutes back where we came, then get out of the truck again. Bless her sweet, loyal heart.<br>
<br>
Our arrival at Tanasbourne was much as described and anticipated by phone. They took Vegas back while I filled out paperwork. The doctor came and got me and showed me the x-rays. The first thing he noticed was the bone in her stomach. I explained as a raw fed dog, that was to be expected. No, she'd not had any recreational bones or anything of substance. In fact, I think at the time she was primarily eating ground turkey necks.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next he commented that she wasn't displaying typical symptoms - AKA, no giant, bloated belly. She had a little distension but nothing that screamed, "Bloat! Get to surgery!" She'd already had some pain meds so he offered an injectable and to let us sit in a room for a bit. He wanted to monitor her heart and re-x-ray in a short while. We went in a room and a technician hooked her up to an ECG. Wow, that was unnerving. The beeping...the speed, the ups and downs and, did I mention the speed with which the machine reported her heart beat. It was scary and unnerving. I haven't felt that nervous since my youngest son was born and we spent 4 days in the hospital watching the O2 saturation monitor and its beeping when the saturation dropped below a certain level. In his case I was willing the numbers to go higher. For Vegas, I was willing the numbers to drop (to a point).<br>
<br>
It was quite a while before they came for us and I periodically poked my head out the door for a tech or doctor. She'd been up and down, at times appearing to relax, others more agitated. I finally caught someone (I wasn't fully panicking.) and they took her for another x-ray. Again, nothing screamed surgery immediately necessary.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQqlERinQftV_-zCihZGE5A-uUPkOKnZSiOt1PhwA9JQ1a9rZLg2VIDfopDSTab18-VLYqowXKOVB-LT7aO5Ey0352QuQ6DvZrqAZlt-S9RJGBEsxi6AixtsKggp8vG8krjAl8vsfUpyf7/s1600/2850_205406_2_s0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQqlERinQftV_-zCihZGE5A-uUPkOKnZSiOt1PhwA9JQ1a9rZLg2VIDfopDSTab18-VLYqowXKOVB-LT7aO5Ey0352QuQ6DvZrqAZlt-S9RJGBEsxi6AixtsKggp8vG8krjAl8vsfUpyf7/s1600/2850_205406_2_s0.jpg" height="400" width="400"></a></div>
However, because the x-ray was not immediately disturbing, the doctor who saw her palpated her abdomen again and, subsequently, had the other vets on premises do the same. Their agreement: Something isn't right; go to surgery. So that's what we did. By then it was after 10 pm. I gave my authorization for them to go into surgery and went up front to handle paperwork. They prepped her for surgery by getting an IV in, etc. When my deposit was paid and paperwork done, they allowed me to go see her before surgery. I debated; I didn't want her more upset and distraught by seeing me but I didn't want to not say goodbye ---- just in case.<br>
<br>
I went back to see her and she was standing with her leash tied off. She was anxious to see me like usual, if a little subdued from the pain. I kissed her and told her how much I loved her and willed her to be okay. I let her know I would be there, I wasn't going anywhere, and I would see her shortly.<br>
<br>
As I sat in the waiting room, any number of things passed through my mind. I alternated between blind panic and humble gratefulness. After all, if I hadn't heard so many horror stories about bloat, if education about health risks wasn't so important to me, if I hadn't had such wonderful people willing to share stories and teach me, maybe we wouldn't have made it in time? I was thankful I was home, that this didn't happen in the middle of the day while I was at work. I was feeling guilty for not having been able to get her tacked when I had her spayed all those years before.<br>
<br>
While my cell phone battery lasted, I fortunately had the support of some good friends, Rachel and Melissa. Rachel offered to come sit with me. A guy I had been seeing for a short time was even nice enough to come by on his way home from work and sat with me the last 45 minutes of surgery.<br>
<br>
Finally they came to tell me she was out of surgery. They were successful. The techs and doctor finished getting her sutured up and set in a kennel to wake up and then came and brought me back. She was cozy in the kennel with several blankets wrapped all around her and socks on her feet. She was woozy, a little whiny when she saw me, and immediately propped herself up from a supine position (on her side). I snuggled her and cried on her, hugged her and thanked all the things you can thank that she was okay.<br>
<br>
Dr. Thomas said she wasn't very twisted when they got inside. He said her spleen was of a color that indicates it was without blood flow but immediately pinked up to normal when they untwisted it. Her abdomen/stomach overall was not bad. He said it could have partially reversed its torsion when they laid her on her back on the surgical table. The big question I'll never have an answer to: What twisted first, her stomach or her spleen?<br>
<br>
Regardless of the answer to that question - a question that would torture me and allow me no peace if I didn't let it go - my girl is now tacked and her recovery was uneventful. After kissing and cuddling her goodbye, I finally left the clinic after 1:30 am Monday, October 20. The clinic closes at 8 am on weekdays so I was told I could pick her up after 7:30 am. I was there just before that. After letting the receptionist know I had arrived, I sat down to wait. They were fairly busy with several patients leaving either for home or daytime monitoring at their regular vets. As I waited I was quite certain I heard her whining. I'd never heard such a glorious sound!<br>
<br>
A short while later a tech came to get me. They weren't quite ready to have me meet with the doctor and discharge her but thought she might prefer to be with me. They let me know how she was doing and said she'd been quite whiny and howling at them for a while. Go figure - girlie missed her mama! They thought she would perhaps settle down if she got out of the kennel so they'd brought her bedding outside the kennel and tied her leash off in the treatment room. That didn't work so they listened to her musical harmony for how long I'm not certain.<br>
<br>
I took her outside and she immediately found a place to potty. We returned to the reception area of the clinic and she was much happier, quiet, She was moving fairly gingerly but greeted me with her customary enthusiasm. Once we spoke with the doctor and he went over how she was doing, he told me if I was comfortable I could take her home for the day instead of monitoring at my local clinic. I know he sort of said this with some reservation but also was well aware her mental state would play a role in her recovery. Being away from mama translated to stress - stress was not conducive to her recovery. So we headed out with pain pills and a fair but still hefty bill.<br>
<br>
Our only stop on the way home was at my local clinic. Vegas had a significant suture line on her abdomen and she wasn't to lick at it. We picked up an inflatable e-collar; I wasn't keen on a 30" lampshade demolishing my entire house as she tried to navigate her way around.<br>

The collar kind of acted like part pillow which made it a lot more enjoyable for her than the giant cone would have, I think. When we returned home it was all about keeping her comfortable and calm. She was handling the calm well. She was only 6 hours post-anesthesia so pretty content to lay down. I can't say she slept a lot. She lay with her eyes open mostly. But she stayed put which was good. You can see Leo was concerned and stayed close. </div>

Below is her incision 3 days post-op. The red is normal...just bruising as a result of having an incision. Everything stayed nice and tidy and she never really licked at it or fussed at all. The first two days were scary, but no setbacks. She was happy to eat again by that evening and was nearly herself by the next day. </div>

There are many takeaways from this unfortunate situation. First and foremost, there are no rules with bloat <b>except</b> to get to a vet immediately. Vegas didn't present "normally." She didn't look like she swallowed a beach ball. She didn't immediately drool or hang her head. She didn't have unproductive wretching right away. Even with an x-ray, she didn't look exactly like a textbook bloat. There are severities of bloat, too, given how much time it takes to reach care, but all are life-threatening. Here is a chart with symptoms to beware of: http://www.bmd.org/bmdcr/bloat_chart.pdf</div>

The other thing I want to mention is this: Danes are not the only breed prone to bloat. Many, many breeds can be affected - even those you would never expect. The smallest breed the receptionist at Tanasbourne said they'd seen was a cattle dog. I, sadly, witnessed it in my dad's German Wirehair Pointer and didn't recognize the symptoms. Riley was 14 and by the time my dad got in with her and found out what was going on, he opted to humanely euthanize her. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is so little actually known as fact regarding bloat. There are studies that have taken place and one that is ongoing at present through a doctor and researcher in Washington State. We are taking part because it is so important to find out why and how we can prevent this. Please feel free to share this blog post and make sure you're educated as to symptoms so you can save your pup like I was able to save my Vegas. </div>

PS - I mentioned we've had some additional ups and downs. Since it's a new year (I started this post in 2014.) I am going to save it and seriously will be keeping more on top of my blog in 2015. Until next time.... </div>

Doesn't seem to be happening as I realize it's been six weeks since my last post. I can always keep trying. It's been a busy spring and summer with lots of household projects, yard work, and the like. I guess I just simply haven't spent that much time at the computer and since we're also not really doing any dog sports, I have less to write about. That said, I'll just do a hodgepodge of pictures for catch-up including our sharing photos of our fun visitor.<br />

In late May we visited a new (to us) park in Hillsboro. Vegas found water.<br />

We sometimes venture up to the large campus of what used to be the middle school I went to (which was previously a high school) and is now an upper elementary campus. The fields are huge and we can usually kill an hour and about 2 miles meandering around the entire thing twice. <br />

This photo is for reference to show exactly how big these leaves are. I have no idea what this tree is. I thought it was a tightly growing bunch of sunflowers as the leaves are similar. But when I got close to investigate it was actually the strangest thing. There are branches growing out from the bottom of the "tree" like the shape of the bottom of the letter "U" as well as those flat across the ground then upward. The leaves are gigantic and you can see how the entire thing dwarfs Vegas (below).<br />

Can you swing with your dog in proximity?<br />

So Vegas, my sweet, sweet Vegas who is usually so even keel, has never been one to get completely agitated at me unless it's out of excitement to do something or for something, but wow. Swinging brings out a Vegas I've never met anywhere else. Even if I ask her to sit and stay - or just stay - away from the swings, I am completely unable to swing with Vegas present. It's hard to describe her response. She pushes into me, blocks me, jumps incessantly at me, and even acts as if she would possibly use her mouth on my arm to pull me away. It's unreal. Someday I'll figure out how to get video of her reaction. In the meantime, I'm curious 1) What is the cause? and 2) Does anyone else's dog react this way about something? If so, what is that something that sets them off?Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-28889649559585522472014-05-15T20:53:00.004-07:002014-05-15T20:53:56.084-07:00Hot (Damn) MayMay sure came in with a bang. Rainy, rainy, stormy, and hot, hot, hot. Seriously. In Oregon we're not used to crazy upper 80s in May. Well, truth be told, not much anytime. :) But certainly not in May when one day was in the 50s and the next BOOM!<br />
<br />
We've been laying low the last couple, but tonight we ventured out on a short walk and I think the dogs thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They sniffed flowers, Vegas spotted some squirrels and had to call on her inner self-control not to drag Leo and I after it. I love, love, love her drive still ever so present - and the fact that after every squirrel she sees she checks trees for a short while following "just in case." Silly girl.<br />
<br />
Here's a little "Recall" action from tonight.<br />

With the hot weather, I'm reminded of what we did just a couple short years ago when the temperatures soared. Hoping to find a place to go swimming again this summer close to home. Enjoy this blast from two years past:<br />

Things have been pretty busy as of late. The mower has been down so we haven't spent as much time hanging out and playing or doing agility drills, etc. as we would have were the grass short. But of course I've taken pictures of what we have done. Here's a few "catch-up" images.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I got off work today, ran home, and grabbed the dogs. We headed for one of our favorite woodsy locales.... </span><a href="http://www.oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=104" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">Linear Trail</a><span style="text-align: start;">. We got there right about 5 pm. There were 3 vehicles in the lot and another pulled in as we were walking out. I was hoping we'd not see anyone. We got lucky - just three bicyclists and otherwise for a blessed two hours we had the trail to ourselves. </span></div>

4.82 miles and home for dinner. Happily snoozing ever since.<br /><br />I have some video, too. I'll try to compile and post soon.Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15448552080379010564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959568379313604008.post-14997437953208464122014-04-09T23:32:00.000-07:002014-04-09T23:32:02.145-07:00This N That - Promises and Good IntentionsAt some point in the first weeks of this year I decided I would be a good blogger this year. And now at nearly two months in I realize I have just two posts, I've fallen short of that promise. (And this was started "two months in" and is now being completed and posted in April. Oops.) So I'll try to recap a little bit of what we have been up to this year. Not a lot but still busy.<br />
<br />
First, we're having a really weird winter. For the most part (until recently - I'll get to that) we have had a fairly mild winter. Mild in the way of rain, that is. There's been a lot of dry weather, cool to very, very cold, and little rain. Except when we have had the rain it's been crazy, torrential, and miserable. But it's typically this season been short-lived and then back to cool and dry. In the Willamette Valley of Oregon we don't get a lot of extremes. We have consistent four seasons (three of which are typically rain), but rarely a ton of really cold or really hot. Severe is just not really in our language except when referring to wet. And all of a sudden, the dire predictions of the weather people came true two weeks ago. We ended up with snow.<br />
<br />
It started on a Thursday. I'd decided to stay home since the city was already in crazy, panic mode and in case the weather guessers were really right, well, it made no sense for me to just spend hours in traffic trying to come back. The day was crazy in other ways before the snow really kicked off. I got up and the hot water didn't want to work in either bathroom. Fabulous. On top of that, Vegas wasn't feeling well. She got up like normal and ate breakfast. And I spent the next two hours with her up and down, up and down, clearly uncomfortable, unwilling to lie down, licking her lips and acting funny. Of course I was freaking out thinking it was bloat. Except the symptoms weren't "quite" right. She couldn't vomit but was acting just like when she needs to. I was so tired and just wanted to go back to bed that I wished it was like she has on occasion - a need to vomit and re-eat it (I know - gross!) and then she's fine. But she just couldn't pull it off.<br />

Got booties?<br />
<br />
Finally she vomited but that didn't stop her from acting agitated so we ended up going to the vet as soon as they opened. Fortunately they were able to see us and, long story short, never figured out what caused it. Basically we just treated her symptoms to the best of my financial ability at the time. She was given a liter of fluids subcutaneously as well as an injection of Pepcid AC.<br />
<br />
She came home and vomited two more times over the course of the next six hours and then seemed to be fine. The vet suggested not feeding her until late that night so she finally got rice at 7 or so. Cause she was "dying" by then, you know. This seemed to be a passing thing once we got past that day. The next day she was fine. We had a total of 3-4 other "urpy" episodes where she acted a little off, drooly, or wanted to vomit/did vomit over the course of weeks and since then all has been well dietarily speaking.<br /><br />But, speaking of diets and guts, Vegas has always been pretty "rock solid," no pun intended. Usually with raw feeding I give her a bit heavier meal in meat or even all meat meals 1-2 times in a row because she doesn't seem to need as much bone. But lately, I'd say in the last six months or so, she's been having a harder time even within the same diet guidelines we have followed for years. It's strange so I started her on a probiotic this year. Not bomb-proof, but it is helping. Hopefully I can upgrade her probiotic to a slightly better type such as Nzymes and see if that helps. Or start adding in kefir. I know people who swear by it.<br />
<br />
The rest of the winter we've just done our best to stay active and busy. We don't go to many dog shows, etc., but we get out and walk as much as possible. Just trying to keep her moving and make sure she's happy and healthy. Aging sucks and I often question this, that, or the other, but then she zooms around the house and demands to play, go, chase squirrels, and tug and I know all is well in the land of Vegas. I am ever so grateful.<br />

It's becoming our regular "haunt." Pacific University just has soooooo many squirrels, or potential for squirrels and Vegas loves it. So off we went.<br />

"I know you're there you ornery little bugger! Come down this instant!"<br />
<br />
It's been crazy gorgeous here in the Pacific Northwest lately. Sure, it's a bit chilly particularly overnight. But the brilliant blue skies and sunshine make it all worthwhile - especially since we have also spent a good deal of the last month prior in heavy fog. We try to get out as much as possible what with my crazy commute to work and long days. Typically we put in 2-3 miles; today was about 3.35 which was really nice. Vegas enjoys a brisk pace and our leisurely strolls on campus to squirrel hunt. It makes for nice times together.<br />
