‼️‼️Before joining a Facebook group do your research. I joined this group several months ago and it had no approval questions to be a member (1st red flag) as I was scrolling today I saw this picture posted on the group. This person portraying to own this pup....my pup from a past litter!!!!!!! 😳 basically this person who is a moderator for this group stole my picture and posed it as her pup. I commented, reported it and left the group as well as blocked this person.

I'm saying this to make everyone aware of the groups you join and not everything you see in groups is factual! So be careful and know you are dealing with a trustworthy person or group!!

Zetta!!! Got to work over the weekend, now that bow season’s opened here. This deer didn’t go but 150 yards, yet the brush was so heavy it was almost impossible to trail. Zetta came in and saved the day—and she couldn’t have been happier about her find! She absolutely LOVES tracking 🐾 Just one of the many incredible tasks the Small Munsterlander can achieve. 💪✨

🇺🇸 September 11 🇺🇸
We remember the lives lost, the heroes who stood tall, and the families who still feel the weight of that day. Our prayers are with all who wake up once again without their loved ones. May we never forget, and may we continue to pray for America. ❤️🤍💙

Diversified! That’s the only way to describe a cocker! 🐾 When new clients call and ask, “What all can they do?” … it’s honestly easier to list what they can’t.

Tutter is proving that every day—he’s well on his way to learning Flyball and we couldn’t be more proud of him and his patient mama. He had a few kinks to work out as a youngster, but wow has he come a long way.

Go Tutter, go!! 🎉🐶💨

Definitely a must read!!!!

PSA: We adopted our dog, Rowdy, from the shelter 5 years ago. He was already an adult dog, so we estimate he is about 11 or 12 years old at this point. I love this dog. He is the sweetest soul and my BFF. For the past week or so he hasn’t been acting like himself. He licked a raw spot on his foot. He was panting constantly. He was pacing. Sunday morning, the pacing and panting got so bad, and I was REALLY nervous that there was something seriously wrong with him. For 45 minutes, he panted like crazy and constantly paced back and forth. He was keeping his tail tucked down all the time. His ears were pinned back. He would not settle down and he wouldn’t eat. We tried everything. I ended up giving him a trazadone that he takes sometimes when he goes to the groomer. It seemed to take a little bit of the edge off, but not much. He still wouldn’t eat and still wouldn’t settle. I took off work on Monday so I could take him to the vet. We did bloodwork and x-rays. Knowing he is a senior dog, I was trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I was glad to see his bloodwork was great except for some elevated liver enzymes. The x-rays showed he was a little backed up but no major issues. He got an anti-nausea injection and some Gabapentin to help with some tenderness in his back and to hopefully help keep him calm. When we got home, he was ok for a little bit, but eventually started pacing and panting again. We walked around the neighborhood for a long time and he used the bathroom a lot. He seemed pretty happy about that and was in good spirits until we got home and he refused to come back in the house. Every time I took him out that evening, he would hunker down like he didn’t want to come back in the house. When my vet called and I gave her the update, she suggested there may be some new electronic device in the house that was emitting a high frequency noise that is hurting his ears. We had just put new smart outlets in the house about a week ago. His pacing and panting were worse when the lamps were on, so I unplugged all the smart outlets. He stopped panting, stopped pacing, and ate his food. His tail was even up and wagging again. When I plugged the smart outlets all back in and asked Alexa to turn on the lamps, he immediately started panting and pacing again. My husband used an app to test the frequency of the smart outlets. It was off the charts. We've left the outlets unplugged for two days and have confirmed that it is definitely the smart outlets that are causing his stress and discomfort. He's back to being a totally normal dog now. I really thought this was the end for Rowdy based on the way he was acting. I am so thankful for Dr. Newell at BoonesCreek AnimalHospital for figuring out this simple solution. If your pets are exhibiting similar symptoms, you may want to consider checking your electronics first. I cannot express how relieved I am that he is ok now. 😭♥️🐶

Dove season is here! 🕊️ Odie hit the field with his boys, Koda and Milo, and it was so fun to watch. Odie showed them the ropes and they did fantastic! Proud of this trio and excited for what’s ahead this season. 🐾
