It has been way too long since the last update, post, etc. A lot of things have been going on recently that have draw my attentions elsewhere. I apologize for that. I know a number of people have found their way to this blog because of all the FHO posts and you are probably all wondering how the little labrynees is doing. It has been almost a year since his second FHO and his hips are holding up great! He…
We are back in frigid cold of Chicago. The drive up wasn’t so bad, but man oh man was it a shock to go from 80 degrees to -20 with the wind chills. The first few days we were back the dogs didn’t want to be outside for long. Bacio would shiver and just stare at me. Yuki adjusted faster and was happy to see the snow. We’ve been back for about a month now and they are both back…
We’ve been in Florida for almost 2 weeks now. Once we got over the long drive we were out and about. Fort Myers beach is very dog friendly, as long as your dog is on a leash and you pick up after it, they can be anywhere on the beach. We’ve been going there instead of the offleash beach just because Yuki doesn’t do so well with water and other large dogs she doesn’t know. Unfortunately It’s really hard for…
Friday morning I woke up and finished some last minute packing of the car, loaded the pups and headed back to my apartment to drop my rent check off for December and to pick up our co-pilot for the drive. We made a quick stop at Loyola Park while we were waiting for Nic to get off work. For those not from Chicago, the city has 26 miles of beaches along the lakefront. I thought it would be cool to…
If you saw the post about Bacio’s birthday, then you saw those giant beef knuckles that he was chewing on. Unfortunately, he got pretty possessive of them, and wouldn’t share with Yuki at all. The problem with that is Bacio is not as agile, especially during this post FHO recovery. Yuki tried to lure him out of the room and beat him to the knuckles, it caused a scuffle between the dogs. I took the knuckles away and checked them…
How time flies. It seems like not too long ago I was on the phone with my aunt, telling her that I was considering getting a second dog. My aunt fosters for her local shelter, so I told her to let me know if they had any Great Pyrenees looking or lighter colored fur, younger, male dogs coming through their shelter. I wanted a Pyrenees because they had white coats and at least this way the dog hair all over…
Wow. I don’t know if my little bear understands this time that this surgery is good for him or what, but this recovery has been leaps and bounds better. So far at least, I’m hoping it stays this way. A short clip of Bacio walking 5 days post surgery Yesterday I took Bacio got his stitches out. I had to physically remove him from the back seat of my car… It was the only time I had a slight fear…
It happened. Round 2 has officially begun. Last Friday, the 25th, I dropped Bacio off for his second Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery. We pulled into the parking lot around 8:30am. it was closer to 8:45 when we got in the door, not because it was a long walk, but Bacio seemed to remember what happens there, and he refused to get out of the car. Trying to wrestle him out of the car was quite a challenge. I didn’t…
Well well well… I’m Back… Sorry I didn’t tell you I was leaving… thats just how I roll I guess. My birthday is at the end of July, and I got swamped between work, seeing family, going out of town, developing new business ventures, having friends in town, and really dealing with some doggie drama as well. Just before I went out of town in August, Bacio had started becoming a little over aggressive. He even went as far as…
‘ello luf. Summer is here in full force. Finally got the AC window units in and running, the dogs are much happier. Yuki was surprisingly more tolerant of the heat than Bacio. Maybe because she can comfortably lay on her back, legs spread, showing off her goodies to the invisible people in the sky…. or anyone walking by. I had been sleeping on the couch before the AC was running because my room was waaaayyy too hot. I noticed Bacio…
