Granite getting some love last night from Christy (he spent time with her as a pup to get acclimated to new enviroments) as we prepare to send him off on a new adventure. Originally, we were evaluating him to be a stud dog. He is definately a handsome and large guy weighing in at 118 lbs already at 10.5 months. I noticed that he is a slightly off in his right elbow and we did prelims and he has grade 1. The vet stated they thought it was congenital (since it is bilateral) happened when he was formed in utero which is different then hereditary. However, I see this sometimes in dogs like him that grow fast (even with an appropriate diet). Unfortunately fast growing dogs create a lot of weight early on on growth plates and joints. This is why we caution activity/stairs and strenous things. However it still sometimes just doesn’t all line up the way we hope. The grading system for elbows is 0 thru 3. Obviously we want grade 0 but I will consider a grade 1 on some dogs in certain situations. However since I have other dogs that are related, and the fact that he is a big attention seeking, needy, love bug. I felt it best that he be in a home enviroment with a family to spoil and shower him with the continous attention he wants and deserves. I will be taking him to his new home on Friday to see how he acclimates and make sure everything seems like a good fit with their dogs. They have already come and spent time with him here at the farm. It will be hard to see him go but I am very excited for him as I know he will love all the attention he is going to recieve.

On a brighter note, the pups are 8 weeks old today. They remind me that their is a cycle to life and with death also comes birth and new beginnings. These beginnings to not replace what is lost but provide us with a sense of happiness and joy to fill the soul and give us the ability to push on.

Since its hot and we are a bit off today....we are going with a freestyle tongue out Tuesday vibe.
All the pups are right around 20 lbs.

All pups are reserved

We have some sad news to share. Our beloved freckled face Ukraine 🇺🇦 beauty Michelle Pride of Justin AKA Harbor was put to rest yesterday. Harbor came to us as a 4 month import she was the biggest, fluffiest most beautiful puppy. She was the only girl in the litter and I was estactic that she was going to come live with us here in the US. We flew her into Boston and surprised the kids with her. It was instant love. She was bound to be in their lives and love them. Not only did she have a soft spot for the kids she also seemed to have an immense love for Boulder and he for her. Literally he wouldnt leave her side if she was out and about and would always lay beside her and clean her ears and care for her. She grew to be the largest female I had ever seen she was 140 lbs with a big head and legs and no clue about her actual size. Literally, she would throw her body around like a wrecking ball and have no clue that it was even a concern. She was just always happy and wanting to wiggle and excude love. However, she was the dog that seemed to carry all the burden when it came to health. Tearing her CCL back in 2023 but managing to rehab without surgery and maintain a good life that still meant playing fiercly with the pack and hill walks. Then this winter she had to have emergency pyo surgery while I was away and the kids cared for her. Then a couple of weeks ago I noticed her toe touching in her back right leg. I checked her over and moved everything around and she didnt seem to care (typical Harbor, Happy and Stoic) I assumed that she had torn her other CCL. So I ordered her a special brace and started her on an anti inflammatory (after discussing with the vet). She seemed to respond well at first. However, when her brace arrived and I went to put it on I noticed her leg around the joint had doubled in size. My heart dropped. I had lost my first dog that I had ever bought a Boxer named Zeke to leg cancer and this took me right back. I called the vet and we took her in yesterday and confirmed that indeed she had cancer in her leg. Unfortunately due to her size, the location, and how aggressive it seemed we made the decision to put her to rest. I always tell myself quality over quantity but still it is extremely difficult to make such a decision. It weighs heavily on me and drains me. I have to keep reminding myself that she is in a better place and was laid to rest on the hill that she loved to meander up in the winter on our pack walks. The kids and I were by her side giving her all the love that she had given to us over her almost 5 year. 💗💔

I have had people asking about good life jackets for dogs. I do not have any insight. Anyone have any recommendations?
