It seems like Marcus's LP is getting worst. Not only is he having issues breathing but the neurology issues have increased.

Max has a growth on his front paw that looks like a wart. We first noticed it about 2 months ago. Our vet didn't feel it was anything to worry about. This weekend he started limping and we noticed he had been licking at the wart and now the toe is red and irritated. In the picture the growth...

Took the 2 boys on a 1/2 mile walk with a coupler...went past our neighbor with many free range chickens. Felt good to control 370 lb of Newf. I think I will try to do it a few times a week. Need to edit...340 lbs of Newf. So Sorry!
