📚🐾 "Baxter Finds a Home" – A Tail of Love & Legacy 🐾📚

We had a special treat at the clinic today! One of our amazing clients, the Knox family, surprised us with a copy of their adorable children's book, "Baxter Finds a Home." 💙 This heartwarming story tells the journey of their beloved dog Baxter’s adoption and the beautiful life that followed. 🐶✨

Even more special? Our copy is personally signed - paw print and all! 🐾📖 What a thoughtful and touching way to honor Baxter’s memory. Though Baxter has since crossed the rainbow bridge, his story lives on, bringing smiles and inspiration to kids and animal lovers alike.

The Knox family brought along their new furry friend, Chloe, who was happy to join in on the fun and photos with our team members Kenny, Alyssa, and Trena! 📸🐕

Huge shoutout to the Knox family for sharing Baxter’s legacy with us. If you're looking for a heartfelt read for your kiddos, you can find "Baxter Finds a Home" on Amazon!

Dogs often sneeze during play to signal friendliness and prevent roughhousing from escalating. These calming signals help communicate that their actions are playful and not aggressive, keeping interactions safe and fun for both dogs and humans.

Still thinking about that hike?? Here are some vet-approved hiking tips for a safe day out:

🐕‍🦺Leash up: All trails in Snohomish County require dogs to stay on leash to protect wildlife and other hikers.

💧Hydrate: Bring plenty of water for both you and your pup; water sources can be limited.

🥾Prep paws: Rocks, roots, or hot pavement can injure paws; consider paw wax or booties where needed.

🩹Pack essentials: P**P bags, treats, towel, and basic first aid are must-haves.

🦟Stay up to date: Ensure flea/tick/parasite prevention and vaccinations are current before hitting the trails.

💩Respect trail etiquette: Clean up after your dog and give wildlife space.

🌿 Top Trails to Try:

3. Whitehorse Trail – A developing 27‑mile compacted gravel trail between Arlington and Darrington. Scenic and peaceful for on-leash hikes through northern Snohomish County.
4. Wallace Falls State Park – Features multiple waterfalls, forest terrain, and lakes. Perfect moderate hikes with breathtaking scenery for adventurous dogs and owners alike.

🐕Popular Cascade Trails:

5. Lake Serene – A beautiful alpine lake and waterfall, ~7.2 miles round trip and dog-friendly but more strenuous.
6. Sultan River Canyon Trail – A ~4.4 mile moderate route offering canyon views and river access, highly rated by other dog owners.
7. Big Four Ice Caves Trail – Short (~2.2 miles) and easy, this trail features dramatic ice caves and forest views—excellent for pups who love sniffing around.
