Sammi passed away January 1st, 2018

Both of our sweet pups have passed, both in January 2018. It has been a horrible month/year/existence. This has been a post I have been avoiding, and I haven’t had the emotional capacity or strength to put something together. Sammi lost her battle to Hemangiosarcoma on January 1st, 2018. She lived long enough to see […]

Post Bleed Update – Rest is Key

So we’ve experienced Sammi’s first bleed post-op, which I went into great detail on my post yesterday.

Sammi’s First Bleed, post diagnosis. AKA Emotional Roller Coaster

Want to know what awful is? Awful is not knowing when you’re supposed to call your vet to come and do the honors. Dave has been reminding me to write a post here to talk about how great Sammi has been doing, and she has been. Up until Christmas. We’ve both been saying, if she […]

The end of this week will be our 3 month anniversary of her splenectomy. We’ve been keeping our fingers crossed that […]

Texie’s Bloat Emergency, One Month after Sammi’s

So things have been going really great. Sammi has been eating devouring her food, which is incredible. She was doing well enough that we figured it was safe enough for me to go visit my mom in Wisconsin. So, for just over a week, I went up to Wisconsin and Michigan to see my Mom […]

Hurricane Irma & a Possible Bloat Scare

We’ve been preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Irma, and I suggested to Dave that we go to the beach one last time before the storm hit, with the pups, of course! We loaded them up and off we went. I swear Sammi knew where we were going, because as soon as we turned onto […]
