    HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY, Elwood and THANKS GAD and the Mods!!!

    It’s bittersweet since Jeannie lost his littermate Chase just before their 13.5 birthday, but my super goofy boy Elwood turned 14 today. The odds were against him from minute one, but with excellent vet care, tons of love, and his ridiculous stubbornness, but here he is, snoring away next to me...

    HAPPY (belated) Monthiversary to Elwood and his sister Chase!

    Yesterday my Elwood and Jeannie's Chase turned 13 years and 5 months old. With all the health problems he's had, that he made it to such an auspicious age is AMAZING! He's slowed waaaaaaaaaaay down, needs a harness to get up, and may have a tumor behind his eye but he is such a happy...

    Paw print kits?

    Hey everyone - I would like to take an ink imprint of Elwood's paw for a tattoo. Has anyone ever done this and might you recommend a kit? Or should I just find non-toxic ink and wrangle him to be helpful? :). Thanks in advance!!!!

    My Elwood and Jeannie's Chase! Man, these years have gone FAST! Elwood is simply stated the happiest, goofiest, most carefree creature on the planet. The list of what ISN'T wrong with him is shorter than the list of what is, but I wouldn't trade that knucklehead for the world!

    Well gang, just met with the surgeon. Elwood is going in tomorrow I remove the spindle cell tumor (with a CT scan first to see how deep it goes. Hopefully not through the chest wall).
