Mini Pinscher Snoopy & Nova

🐾 POV: Nova – Another surgery, another little adventure… ❤️‍🩹

Well… today was another big day for me! 🐶

Remember those two tiny foreign objects the specialists at HEELIX discovered in my paw? And the concerns about my adrenal glands?

First, some GOOD NEWS! 🎉

Addison’s disease has officially been ruled out! 🙌❤️ One less thing for my humans to worry about!

But my poor little paw still needed some attention…

Today, I had surgery to finally get rid of that stubborn problem between my toes. 🐾

The vet completely removed the fistula that had been causing so much trouble, along with both foreign objects that had been hiding in there for months!

Hopefully, that means no more recurring swelling, inflammation or painful paws. 🤞

And now? I’m finally back home, recovering in my favourite cosy bed, surrounded by soft blankets and my humans. 🏡❤️

As you can see, I’m sporting a rather fashionable bandage… although I wouldn’t exactly call it my favourite accessory! 😂🐾

It’s been quite a journey for such a little dog, but I’m happy to be home.

For now, my only job is to rest, recover and accept all the love and attention I can get. And maybe a few extra treats… doctor’s orders, right? 😉🐶

Paws crossed for a smooth recovery! 🐾❤️‍🩹

Love,
Nova 🐕💕

POV: Welcome to my private sock museum. 🧦🐾

Please keep your voice down.

The collector is sleeping. 😴

Yes, that’s a sock next to my bed.

And yes, there’s another one on the floor.

No, I will not be answering questions about how they got there.

I’m eleven years old, and I’ve spent years perfecting my collection.

Some socks belong upstairs.

Some stay close to my bed.

And some are apparently too important to leave in the laundry basket.

My humans call it stealing.

I prefer relocating valuable family belongings.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a very busy schedule.

Sleeping.

Cuddling.

Checking the laundry.

Repeat. ❤️

Does your dog have a secret collection too?

POV: You’re 11 years old, you have a very important sock collection, and your human finally comes home. 🐾

There I was.

Standing in front of her.

My favourite sock in my mouth.

And my pink blanket still draped over my back.

Because apparently, I was so excited to say hello that I forgot to leave my blanket behind. 😂

I walked straight up to her and dropped my sock.

She picked it up.

And gave it right back.

Perfect. ❤️

You see, socks are serious business in this house.

I collect them from the laundry, carry them upstairs and carefully store them in my bed.

Sometimes I don’t even want anyone touching them.

But when my human comes home?

I bring her one.

Is it a gift? A greeting? My very own little ritual?

Who knows.

All I know is that she understands.

Some dogs bring their humans a toy. I bring mine the laundry. 🧦❤️

Does your dog have a funny little welcome-home ritual?

The moment the kids walk into school… she starts crying.

Lately Nova is the first one waiting by the car, ready for drop-off like it’s her job.
My tiny shadow misses her little humans so much and honestly, it breaks my heart every time.
Does anyone else’s dog get this attached to the kids?

Where is Nova? 👀

If you’re looking for her… she’s probably in her favorite spot: wrapped up like a tiny burrito, supervising the whole house from under a blanket.

Tell me your dog’s “default location” when you can’t find them 😂

POV: Nova 🐾

Today was a big day for me… and honestly, I found it very scary. 😅

I was referred to HEELIX Veterinary Referral Centre for further examination of the stubborn swelling between my toes. Luckily, the team there was incredibly patient, gentle and kind with me. They had plenty of time set aside, nothing felt rushed, and that made such a difference for this nervous little lady. ❤️

And finally, we seem to have found the reason why my paw keeps flaring up.

The ultrasound showed two tiny foreign objects between my toes, with inflammation around them. The X-ray fortunately showed no abnormalities in the bones.

The specialists at HEELIX recommend surgical exploration and removal of the foreign material, as it is most likely what keeps causing the swelling and irritation to return.

They also noticed something unrelated during the examination: my adrenal glands are on the smaller side. This doesn’t mean there is definitely anything wrong, but they advised further follow-up and, ideally, an ACTH stimulation test to rule out Addison’s disease.

Their findings and recommendations will now be passed on to my regular veterinarian, who knows me well and will take over the next steps. They will continue to follow me closely and will most likely perform the procedure to remove those two little troublemakers from my paw. 🐾

So yes… I’m still a little nervous about what comes next. But after months of that annoying swelling coming and going, it feels good to finally have a clearer answer.

A very big thank you to the team at HEELIX for taking such good care of me, giving me the time I needed, and making a stressful visit feel a whole lot safer. 🐶❤️

Sometimes, happiness is found in the simplest moments. 🐾❤️

A little sunshine, a gentle touch, and a whole lot of love.

No words needed. Just pure trust, connection and enjoying the moment together. ☀️🐶

Nova has been struggling for a while with one toe that keeps swelling up and filling with pus. We had it checked earlier this summer, but the vet couldn’t find anything. After a course of anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, it seemed to improve for a bit.
Now the toe — and even her paw — is swollen again. Today the vet examined her once more under light sedation, but still nothing was found. So for now, we wait and see what the next step will be in this search for answers.
