Who drools more? Cabbage or Castle?

11/04/2026

Turns out the worst thing our dogs ever do, is not stay with us forever.

We lost Nana today, and I am shattered. I loved this old lady with all my heart and the last few weeks she had been increasingly off, but today it was very clear it was time.

Saints don’t often get the lifespan their smaller friends do, but they make up for it with their giant hearts, drool; hair and a presence that is unmatched. Nana was an absolute treasure in our family and I am so heartbroken she is gone.

She had her cheeseburgers, her nuggets, and an ice cream Sunday garnished with cat food. She lay in my lap and I told her to go find Breezewood, Promo, and all the other giants waiting to show her around. I promised her I would roll in the grass for her next spring, and if she ever visited, I would be waiting.

This work is so hard and you would think moments like this would make me not want to do it again. On the contrary, I am so grateful I got to love her. To know her. To be her person. If I didn’t do this I’d never have known her. That would be the real tragedy. I would, and will, do it again and again. The breaks in my heart only leave room for more love to get in.

Nana, nana-banana-bo-bana, until we meet again my love. Thank you for the memories and the love. You’re forever my old lady.

Please if you can, donate to help cover her goodbye costs, and all the expenses we need to give dogs like Nana an amazing life, and amazing goodbye. -

So I know many of you are probably off to trick or treat tonight, or you're getting ready for the barrage of cute kids to come knocking on your door. But, while we're busy having fun this evening lets remember some simple things for our dogs -

1. Management is key. If you're going to have lots of people coming to the door, keep a gate or pen set up so your dog can't barge through the door in excitement or behave in a way that may not be welcome. Some dogs don't take to visitors at the door well and its best to have them not set up for failure by giving them a buffer. Even for those who can't or don't have a gate, have your dog dragging a leash so you can move him quickly away if you need to or step on it should he decide he wants to go out too.

2. If your dog truly hates people coming to the door or may get too anxious/excited, there is nothing wrong with creating a safe space in a separate area of the house where you can have white noise going and give him something wonderful to chew on stay busy. You can also then sit by the door and be ahead of the game so no one has to ring the doorbell multiple times. It's a perfect opportunity for you to eat all your favorite candy too before giving any away.

3. Take your dog out right before the activity and then wait until after the activity to take him out again. Don't take him out when he may be surprised by a scary silhouette or something spooky. Make sure he’s wearing appropriate identification!

4. Bringing your dog with you trick or treating can go badly quickly, Only bring your dog if you feel he is going to tolerate all the noise excitement and chaos well. Always have an extra adult with you so they can take the dog home or bring him to a safe spot (crate in the car with a chew ready) should he get overwhelmed or scared.

5. Chocolate is my favorite food, but it is not good for dogs. In all the excitement please make sure you watch where you put the candy or where it is left out. keep it out of your pets reach. If you aren't sure where to put it, send it to my house.

6. Dressing pets up is fun, but it shouldnt be a requirement for a dog to love it. If your dog is not enjoying all the handling or dress up, stop. Its not worth having an incident just to try to get a cute picture. Your dog will thank you!

Happy Howloween everyone!

Happy 1st Birthday to the best hole digging, ball chomping, ear grabbing, sometimes hu***ng, water obsessed, must be muddy at all times best dog in the world golden Kipper.

He’s the epitome of man’s best friend and a clean house’s worst enemy. He’s so smart and yet also will run straight into a fence panel that’s been there for years. He cannot stand the thought of dinner being late by 30 seconds but he’d give his life for his little girl.

Golden people everywhere - I get it now. Adolescence with these guys is hilarious and infuriating but I know one day when he’s old and sugar faced how much I will miss these days.

Happy birthday Kipper! Here’s a clump of grass with mud.

No no, don’t thank me, just please keep it inside.

What if your dog’s favorite “class” felt more like an adventure?

Each month, you and your dog will experience a brand new themed activity where dogs get to explore a different world and just *be dogs*.

We’ve had:

🦸‍♂️ Superheroes

🦖 Dinosaurs

🚜 Farm days

⛏️ Gold Rush

🏴‍☠️ Pirates

But it’s not really about the theme…

It’s about what your dog gets to *do*:

Sniff to their heart’s content

Explore and move freely

Solve little “puzzles”

Make their own choices

No pressure.

No control.

No getting it “right.”

Just real, natural fun.

Dogs leave happy and fulfilled.

And every month is something new 👀🐾

When you walk in with an emergency, they are the ones to meet you at the door.

When you need a moment to remember the name and dose of a medication, they patiently wait.

When you have endless questions after the doctor leaves, they field them with compassion.

When your best friend goes into the back, they are the ones holding, soothing, and ensuring that she doesn’t feel alone.

When you call right before closing with a problem, they make sure it’s answered even if it means staying late.

They pull up meds, take histories, remember every detail. They work through lunch, holidays and miss special occasions. They bring their work home all the time, but more often than not, work IS also their home. They are veterinary technicians and they are some of the best people I know.

Veterinary medicine is one of the most difficult and under appreciated professional fields. It requires so much more than understanding medicine, and often is the brunt of abuse and mistreatment.

This week is veterinary technician appreciation week, and I personally want to thank them here. I have the deepest admiration and respect for your dedication and commitment to the care of the animals in your charge. Alongside the veterinarians and incredible staff you all make such a difference every day in the lives of animals and their caretakers, including me.

Much, much love and gratitude.

- The entire NMBDT team.
