Hi @DorothyMH I've come in here to see my ,family, for Christmas :ss: checking what's new. Sadly still in shock about Kanary:sad:...wondering if it is for real..😭
I see you have a new doggo? :confused::)

Your workouts are still very consistentπŸ’ͺ Well done! :u::flex:
Ah, yes, sadly, it is for real. Her friend posted on her thread when it happened. She fought hard but her cancer came roaring back….
New doggo, Canoe, is 50/50 Doberman /Labrador. Super sweet, but adament about guarding and boundaries. We are in training with him to manage his behavior and prevent litigation due to his teethπŸ₯΄. He’s 95 pounds!!!!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜±
Nice to *see* you!!πŸ€­πŸ‘‹

AM- Canoe would not settle down in the night: tap tap tap went his nails on the floor, pacing around. After the third time outside, I had him lay down in his crate, and I locked it. My sleep was suffering. By the time I woke up for the morning, it was 8:45am (PST) 😱. Outside is cloudy, 37 (F) degrees feels like 30.

β€”β€”MERRY WINTER HOLIDAYβ€”β€”

AM- woke up at nearly 7:30 by husb’s snoring again. Then 10 mins after I got up, he was up😣. This is why I usually go to sleep by 10pm: so I can avoid this wake up cycleβ€¦πŸ˜πŸ˜€

  • Journaling: x10 minsβœ…
  • Yard Clean up/Canoe ball throwing: x10 minsβœ…
  • Park play w/doggo gfs: x60 minsβœ…..lots of drama between the 2 girl doggos a couple days ago, resulting in the older one being severely wounded in her ear and face. The younger one was all sorts of hyper vigilant today, such that the owner had to take the older one home while I kept the younger one leashed, and at the park with me and Canoe. Then later, when Canoe was playing (both were off leash) with the younger one as we were about to leave, he got his teeth stuck in her neck chain and the two of them panicked and were twisting around screaming, and scaring the two of us humans to death trying to get them disconnected. It was a bloody mess in Canoe’s mouth. But, I’m actually not sure whose blood it was, since I don’t see any leaking out of his face now….πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜¨

Amazingly, I do not see any missing teeth in his mouth. Those things must be rooted into his brain, cuz he was chewing up stuff incl bones, as if nothing had happened!🀷🏼😀

Good luck with the vet, hope your doggy feels better soon!
It’s actually my doggo’s playmate/
girlfriend (aka: my friend’s dog). The owner took her to the vet and she does *not* have an infected face from the fight, although it is still quite swollen. But, he gave antibiotics anyway since she is an elderly dog and immune function is reduced, plus they live with a bunch of catsπŸ₯Έ
