15 days ago I found a tiny lump on Hugo’s head, I actually thought it was a tick and brought him in to the vet and they said it wasn’t a tick but maybe a skin tag or scab and they had made it bleed when trying to figure out if it was a tick. He didn’t see a vet for this, just one of the nurses...

Well, it was an incredibly hard decision but I’ve decided to neuter Hugo. I went back and forth so many times but ultimately I believe it is the best decision for him (he’s 22 months old now). Majority of dogs are fixed here so I think it will just be easier for him in a lot of aspects. I’ve...

Well, I am at a point where Hugo can be neutered any time now as he’s 18 months old. Ideally if I’m going to do it I would like to get it done in the next couple of months before spring and summer arrive. Neutering seems to be viewed differently depending where you live in the world. In Canada...

Ugh I’m panicking right now, Hugo is in the back getting induced vomiting. I took him to the dog park and right at the gate was a few broken up dog pepperoni sticks, and unfortunately it’s not unusual for poisonous treats to be left at dog parks. So out of precaution I have opted to induce...

My biggest struggle right now with Hugo is recall. It was SO easy with Axel and I guess I just assumed it would be similar but that is not the case at all. Comes down to personalities I’m sure, Hugo LOVES dogs, whereas Axel was happy to say hi and then say goodbye just as quick. Hugo is...

Is this a thing? I don’t recall Axel ever reacting to tick meds so I’m not sure if that’s what I’m dealing with or not. Yesterday mid afternoon I gave Hugo his Nexgard tick chew from the vet for his first time. I then got woken up at 530am from Hugo having a very squirty bum, he went multiple...

I really don’t know what to think, so I’m looking for ideas and truthfully support as I’m spiralling a bit here. Sorry, it’s turned into a novel! 7 days ago I was walking Hugo and he always has his nose glued to the ground, and when he lifted his head at one point I noticed blood coming from...

Ugh noticed Hugo had smelly breath today but I thought maybe it was the other puppys dried up drool on him, as she is losing her puppy teeth. Finally I took a look, he has a piece of wood from his tree root chew (pretty certain that’s what it is) stuck along his inner back molars and wedged up...

Ok I feel silly but… Hugo seems to have tiny adult canine teeth..?! His upper canines specifically. The puppy canines fell out end of December or first week of January. So maybe they haven’t fully grown all the way down yet? Which seems odd to me.. but also starting to question my sanity and...

I feel silly asking this 🤦🏼‍♀️ But I wasn’t educated with Axel and let him chew bully sticks and other hard chews from 3 months old on… That being said, Hugo is 5 months old and I’m pretty certain he has lost all of his puppy teeth now, adult ones are almost all in and definitely broken through...

Hugo has a squirty bum again 😞 he hasn’t eaten anything bad so I’m not sure what’s triggered this. This mornings first poop was perfect form, then he had a second one right away and it was sloopy… after lunch poop also sloppy, but not cow pies. Then at work tonight my camera was going off and...

Just curious if it is possible to change my username? I finally feel ready to make that change if it is even possible :)

Oh hi, yes, just me again… with just another Hugo issue %) So tonight, the little dude managed to get one of his puppy canine teeth stuck in the couch and he fell and snapped the tip off. You could tell he was uncomfortable, lip smacking and sneezing. So loaded him in the car and off to the...

I’m sure everyone can understand why I am FREAKING out right now. I have found a lump on Hugo’s back, an inch or so off to the side of his spine, I’ll post a photo for reference. I phoned the vet instantly and they are fitting us in tomorrow morning at 9:30. The receptionist who has been there...

Ugh, Hugo has been off the antibiotics for about 5 ish days now, and the diarrhea in the middle of the night has started up again... last night was night number two. I am at my wits end and I don't really know what to do now, besides change his food again. Currently he is on Royal Canin...

As many of you know Axel had bad car anxiety so with Hugo I was really hoping he wouldn’t but he whimpers and takes time to settle. So I guess I’m wondering is this normal until they are used to it? Or is this who he is? Im feeling pretty deflated ☹️ I bring frozen kong and stuffed kibble kongs...

It’s been an incredibly rough 24 hours. We had a forest fire start a few days ago and yesterday it took a turn toward the city. We are experiencing the worst fire season in history and severe drought situations. Many of my friends have been evacuated from their homes. Some are worried their...

Well, I feel might as well start a thread for my future boy! I was worried about jinxing it, but regardless I know he is coming eventually. I’m also at a point now where I’m not feeling guilt for being excited, it took me awhile to get to this point but I’m here now and I know Axel would want...

While I am not ready for a puppy right now, as I miss Axel so much and want to keep reliving our memories. I knew in 6 months or so I would be ready though, and knew a good breeder would have a long wait, which is good, but also knew I had to start my search right away in order to have a little...

Hi everyone… it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I come on every now and then and read posts here and there :) but for those who don’t know or remember us, Axel came in to my life as a tiny little runt of a puppy at 8 weeks old. He turned into a Labrahorse I call him, a healthy...
