It’s not what it looks like…
Things never are. Sas is now cleared from the vet we can now go on our long walks again with the added bonus of playing fetch and drop it on the stairs. Problem is, we are right back to square one when going out for walks. Sas is back to being terrified of noises, cars…

Draaaaaaaaawp it!
Hello fellow custodians of canines, felines, birds and everyone who has a pet in their life. As you may, or may not (if not where have you been?!) be aware – I adopted a beautiful, a strongly independent, cheeky Hokkaido mix by the name of Sasuke. Although he does go by other names… cookie bear,…

Classy Boy
A topic which has become rather pertinent, more so since adopting Sas, has been the conundrum of the question – how long should I walk my dog for? And the usual response is… it depends on the breed. Well. Yes. It does. However……. Sasukes breed does not feature in ANY of the recommendations for the…

2021
Hello! We made it. Touch and go, the end of 2020 and the start of 2021 was not what I had in mind – nor do I think Sas did either. Yet here we are. And here you are! Although the bandages are off, the antibiotics finished, the cone still on, I can honestly say…

Part two…
One full week has passed since the surgery and the last post was the following Tuesday – here is what happened next. Since re-bandaging on the previous Saturday, Sasuke refused to let me anywhere near him. He also refused to poop and pee on mats so short walks outside were a must. I swear until…

Aaaaaaand…we’re back
The tumor is benign. Deep sigh of relief. However. Of course there is a however, how can there not be a however…?! We have to go back to the vet to have the tumor removed. This Friday. oh boy. Surgery. This is probably where I should have a lessons learned section from the previous visit…

Paradox
Big shout out to all veterinary practitioners! You Are Awesome!! Thank you! This is a long post. Brace yourself. On Saturday just past we went to the vet. We arrived on time, 11:30, and got as settled as we could given Sasukes anxiety at being there. As he was looking around and conveniently distracted the…

Nemesis : Redux
Hello and welcome to part two of the saga that is visiting the vets! Last week I posted that Sasuke would be going to the vets due to a lump on his paw – well – I went on his behalf, armed with a whole load of pictures. After twenty minutes of showing pictures and…

Nemesis
It’s here. It’s that day, the day which is dreaded by all of the canine species… It’s vet day. Duh dun duuuuuuuuuuuun. Sasuke is due to go to the vet some point this week and for the most part it is relatively ok. I try to treat it as an extended walk. However. I have…
