If you want to ask if I am okay, please don’t ask. Just know that no, I am not okay. If you ask I will break. Tomorrow I am saying see you later to my oldest. My first puppy as an adult. My first service dog. My first for so many memories over nearly 16 years. I needed it to be on a good day, not another crash day, and I know she is only hanging around for me. Ziva is not happy. I need to ease back into things after as if I don’t I won’t recover. I will never be ready but I know it’s the right choice. She has been my heart and soul for so many years, always a heart beat at my feet, and my adventure dog. Thank you everybody for all your patience and understanding leading up to this point.

March was certainly a month. And somehow I ended up with some luck but not much, and that is ok. These are some of the March kiddos celebrating St Patrick’s Day ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Some of you have probably guessed this but for those that have not- I don’t know when yet but I have decided not to wait for Ziva to crash again. I have a few things I want to do still (parks, side of the creeks, etc) and I want it to be a good day- no rain. Her last day should not be in misery and unimaginable pain, which comes with kidney disease. I need patience during this time and flexibility when it happens. Most of you are amazing with all that and I truly appreciate it.

I need to make a PSA- if your pet ever is “just off,” any change in behavior, or even as simple as their breath smells worse (sour and metallic) please see your vet. Not a week later, that day. Thursday Ziva was just a little off and the few kisses she gave (big deals flag for my kiss monster) I knew her breath went from normal stink to emergency stink. I was still hoping for an alternative reason but she was in acute kidney failure. I already understood that I should expect to euthanize Friday but they would try everything first. I was a mess but got the news they were able to reverse most of her numbers more than expected (most was half or more) and she got to come home last night with at home fluids to give and some meds. We are on borrowed time as reversing with fluids isn’t a fix, it’s a bandaid however had I not noticed her subtle changes she wouldn’t be here today. She is active and lively again and making up for lost kisses.

Please do not hesitate to see your vet for any changes. It can save your pets life!

Picture was last night after she wore herself out being happy and excited to be home.

For those who did see yet- I have a proud momma brag! After 7.5 months of hard work and daily training, shaping, and molding Tatsu Magoo earned her fifth and final AKC trick title- Elite Performer yesterday. Another brag with that- per the AKC she is the fourth Chesapeake Bay Retriever to achieve it, the first being a year before she was born. This has been an amazing journey and so much we both have learned. Going from shake and high five to opening a letter box and retrieving the post to opening doors and drawers as well as closing them. Turning on and off touch lamps, ringing bells, picking up credit cards off the floor to her most recent performance of playing soccer, limping, getting her phone, rolling over with her blanket, all her forwards and backwards work over Cavalletties, crawling, back end raised pushups, “feet,” and her orbit. It’s been a lot of fun and we aren’t done yet, just done with AKC since she reached their pinnacle but there is another group called Do More With Your Dog which has even more tricks to learn so we already did novice with them and are working on our animal acting card. No matter what I throw at Tatsu she steps up and loves to work with me and learn new things. Tatsu is also the first Paw and Hand Obedience dog to even finish the trick title series 🥰
