Hi everyone,

I wanted to reach out with an update on CuSithe's pricing, effective immediately for all new bookings.

Boarding will be moving to $35/day. Pet sitting will be $90/day for 1–4 dogs and $100/day for 5–8 dogs. For households with 9 or more dogs, I'm happy to work out a custom quote.
If you have an existing booking, your rate is fully honoured — this applies to new bookings only going forward.

These decisions are never made lightly. You trust me with your animals and your homes, and I take that seriously. I want to make sure I can continue to provide the level of care you and your pets deserve for years to come.

Thank you sincerely for your loyalty and support — it means a great deal.

Dawn

🌸 ROSETTES & REAL TALK: Eye Testing Your Dachshund 🌸
Clear, bright eyes aren’t just beautiful in the ring—they reflect responsible breeding and long-term care. A dog that can see well moves with confidence, connects with you, and lives fully.
🔥 Real Talk:
Just because your dachshund looks fine doesn’t mean their eyes are.
Conditions like Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) can be silently developing long before you ever notice a problem. By the time your dog starts bumping into things or hesitating in low light… the damage is already done—and it’s irreversible.
And here’s where it gets uncomfortable:
Not eye testing breeding dogs isn’t ignorance anymore—it’s a choice.
Because testing exists.
Because specialists exist.
Because prevention matters.
Skipping it risks: — Passing on hereditary blindness
— Producing puppies with avoidable suffering
— Undermining the integrity of your breeding program
👁️ What proper eye testing actually means:
This isn’t your regular vet glance with a light. This is a full exam by a certified veterinary ophthalmologist (CAER exam), looking deep into the structures of the eye.
✔️ Detects inherited disease early
✔️ Helps breeders make ethical pairings
✔️ Gives owners peace of mind
💬 The part people don’t say out loud:
Loving your dog isn’t enough.
Advocating for their future is.
Because a winning dog should be more than beautiful…
They should be built to thrive.

Iggy says he saw his ophthalmologist and its a pass with breeders options for his eyes.

This beautiful calligraphy of my name was created by my talented friend Gurpreet of Calligraphy Madness 🤍
He creates one-of-a-kind pieces—from birthday greetings to engagement announcements—and also shares his craft through teaching. Gurpreet offers an online course and is currently working on a 1:1 masterclass for anyone wanting to truly learn the art of calligraphy.
If you’ve ever dreamed of adding something extra special to your wedding invitations, birthdays, or meaningful moments, you can find him on Instagram ✨
Bonus: he ships worldwide.
There’s something really special about supporting Canadian small businesses—especially when they uplift each other 💫

P.S. Dog show friends — imagine this for judges’ gifts, custom award tags, or National Specialty prizes… such a stunning, personal touch 🐾

Billie Jean stayed with us while she recovered from Diabetic ketoacidosis and a spay. She's now recovering nicely and soon returning home to her mama Lee. Today she had a bath and this week before she leaves she sees Dr Sarah for one more ketones check.
