Oh, Zinny....

She started her first chemotherapy session this week and came down with a particularly horrible case of pancreatitis.

She spent last night at Maine Veterinary Medical Center and probably will spend a couple more nights there. Liana, me, and Fudgie will visit her as often as we can so she doesn't feel so lonely.

She came to us from such a horrible place. Can't she get a break? She's such a sweet dog and it kills me to not be able to explain to her what is going on and how much we love her. You can read the first part of her life story here: https://www.twosaltydogs.com/blogs/stories/why-i-love-don-by-zinnia

A nightly ritual. This really should be a bet in Vegas.

We wanted to thank you guys for letting Zinny into your hearts for her big operation.

They ended up finding and removing not two, but four growths in her mamillary glands. Thank Dog all were removed successfully.

Did you know female dogs who have given birth and are spayed in their later years are much more susceptible to breast cancer? We didn't either, and we are so grateful to Dr. Mac at Maine Veterinary Medical Center, for telling us this.

You have to advocate for your dogs. They can't speak. They can't tell you if something's wrong. And a lot of times, serious signs get lost in the shuffle

We have an appointment with an oncologist for May 8th.

Some dogs are born into love.

Zinnia had to fight for hers.

Her story isn’t soft—but it’s worth every second. Read the third chapter of her autobiography here:

A poignant, first-person story of Zinnia, a dog reflecting on a life shaped by love, fear, survival, and resilience—set against the changing seasons of coastal Maine.

If you can't give Zinnia a hug like Fudgie can, can you at least give her a little cyber-love? She's having an operation tomorrow morning to remove two hard tumors in her mammary glands (b***s).

Here's the second installment of Zinny the Yellow Lab Puppy's autobiography where she understands that freedom is not the absence of walls, but rather knowing what to do without walls.

A yellow Lab pup tells her life's tale of being a mill mom and redemption to her Biped Don.
