For those of you who don’t know, Gizmo is a 3 year old healthy cat. Never has had any health issues. I’m hoping someone here has come across this. I moved us in to our new place on Sunday night. Axel’s been at his sitters so it was just gizmo and I. He was totally fine. He explored and ate...

Axel has not been himself today. More quiet than usual, sleeping most the day. Took him for a walk just now and he was very strange. Walking with a different gait, not sure how to explain it, like with purpose but not moving as fast as he normally does. I generally ‘water ski’ behind him for the...

I’m absolutely devastated. I got news this afternoon that Axel’s half brother Pattington passed away suddenly today. His mom let him out for a quick wee, then she went to let him in a couple minutes later and she found him lying down and he was gone. I’m not sure if they will do an autopsy but I...

Ok, I’m going to try to keep this short (😆) but I need to start from the beginning. A couple months ago my friend asked me if I feed grain free food to my boys, I told her that Axel is fed grain free but not Gizmo. She told me about her friend who just lost her two young dogs within a week of...

How long does it take your dog to eat their meal? I have always had to use a slow feed bowl for Axel as he choked quite badly once as a puppy. I did try recently to feed him in a normal bowl but same thing so back to the slow feed bowl. I timed him yesterday for fun, 2 minutes and 20 seconds to...

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy. I can’t believe he is 3 today! Wow time flies. He’s so special to me and this year would have been so much harder without him by my side. From an absolute little 7kg monster to a mini horse at 46.7kg. I still get asked every day when out and about, ‘what is he?’...

About a year ago Axel had a regurgitating issue which the vet gave us some meds for and all was ok for a few months. Fast forward to about May of this year it started up again. It always starts the same way. He will be 100% fine, then all the sudden there is an urgency and he’s running to the...

Well it’s been two weeks since starting our hill climbing! I’ve lost 4.5 pounds 😁 and Axel has gained 3 pounds, no increase in food at all so I think it’s safe to say it’s muscle growth. He is now 102 pounds (46.3kg) 😳 and I can feel right below his cute little butt cheeks that some muscle is...

I saw Axel’s brother (from another litter) last night who is turning 4 years old in the spring (axel turns 3 in December) He’s gorgeous, and very very fit. I noticed just how much more muscle he has on him compared to Axel. Now, he lives on an acreage and basically lives outside all day long, so...

For fun I decided to do the math to see exactly how much it costs to feed them their kibble a week, simply to just compare Axel and Gizmo. Not including treats, or recreational bones, just kibble. So for the same sized bag of food, 11.4kg (I had to double Gizmo’s smaller bag to make this work)...

Due to life changes I have had to pull Axel out of daycare a couple weeks ago as I can’t afford the steep charge on my own anymore. So now I have to exercise him before work and after work by myself which is fine and enjoyable but it is an adjustment. Such as, no more sleeping in! :eek: I have...
