Under the knife

About a month ago, we noticed Daisy was not eating normally. She was snubbing food and would occassionally get sick when she did eat. We took her to the vet, who found no reason for the behavior, but during the exam she did find a lump on Daisy's side. Her concern is that it could be cancerous. So it had to come off.

A Dip in the Pool: a Willow update

Time for us to dive into Willow’s progress on her rehabilitation plan.

Willow has now been with us for nine-and-a-half months. She has lost twenty pounds. She still won’t get up on her back leg and that gives us some concern. We’ve tried making her walk in her wheel chair, which allows her to lift the weak leg off the ground move along using just her front legs. We’ve also tried a sling which becomes an incredibly awkward ballet as she tries to avoid using her back leg and we pirouette and brisė our way down the sidewalk.

Bite back!

Great idea. I can't wait to see if this ex-con, animal abuser tries to stop it.

Some gave all...

We know that police officers put their lives on the line every day. That includes the canines willing to give everything for their handlers.

On Saturday morning, Clark County K9 Kane died in the line of duty. He had chased down a suspect and was stabbed to death waiting for his human counterpart to arrive on the scene. Let's hope this brutal killing earns the perp a good long sentence.
