A simple every-year-the-same-procedure-at-the-rape-fields shot. ;-)
I really love the setting of - more or less - blue sky, yellow flowers and his shiny coat in the afternoon sun.
the dogs and i had a wonderful hike on thursday, my birthday. i couldn't have asked for a better way to spend part of my special day!!
on tuesday, alice had another seizure... her worst so far. this makes six episodes total and it has been exactly one year since the first. what made this one worse was that it lasted several minutes with no signs of it stopping, and she lost some control of her bladder (which has never happened before, and she was quite mortified about when she finally came to. it was really sad). thankfully it happened while we were at work, and we were able to intervene with valium to get the seizure to stop. i could deal with one episode every other month, but can not deal with the fact that she's not coming out of these seizures without valium. if she were to have one while i wasn't with her, she could quite likely seizure to the point of brain damage or death... so now it's time to make a decision about anti-seizure medication. there are so many pros and cons that would take too long for me to post here. i know that she needs to be on something, but i am not really happy with any of the options.
we have exhausted all of the diagnostics available except for the mri and spinal tap, except for an extensive thyroid test. next week we will do that, on the off chance that it's a low thyroid hormone level causing her seizures. it's rare, but it happens. if that comes back clear, then it's on to the meds that she will have to take for the rest of her life... why do bad things always happen to good dogs?
We have finally starting to thaw here in the north, which means two things - there is a lot of mud, and the Red River of the North is flooding. At this point we are at "moderate" flood stage, although by Wednesday we are predicted to be in "major". At this point the crest projection is high, but does not threaten our house. In the meantime, Koko is enjoying all the water!
2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
I discovered a new field to walk the dogs. Ben loved it because it was a new place to explore...I loved it because we all didn’t get plastered with mud. (Everywhere is very muddy here with melting snow). Win/win. I think this will be our walking area for a few weeks at least. Hurry up spring!
after several weeks of "action june", i thought it would be nice to have a nice smiley face photo in her 52 weeks set. i took this as the sun was getting low in the sky and it seemed to shine right through her silly junedog ears.
Lassie in blue, dedicated to all the ones that respects all the other animals, homo sapiens is in this list!
Fun at the beach as the hounds enjoy this time, its great for me to capture a few action images like this.

Reached Explore #215 ..WooW!! :D
Thank you Flickr Friends!
Finally the days are getting longer and the Sun gets up before than us (just few minutes)!
So when we reach the beach in the morning the Sun is pretty high, its rays come just straight into my eyes when i'm walking to Souht!
But when I come back to North the sunlight in my back warms all my soul!
Only 2 months are left then the beach will be forbidden for dogs and so even for me.....
:(
Hi all a quick update on our new family member Rocky the one year old Pugalier we picked him up on saturday he was trembling with fear and sick all the way home three and half hour Journey! His new life started proper on Sunday he has really bonded with Tyson and Rosie but is still struggling with human contact he will sleep on my knee with the other two as long as i dont touch him this causes his fear to take control and leap onto the floor the poor thing (how someone can mistreat a dog to cause it to fear human contact breaks my heart) I hope to catch up soon!
Our beloved little dog, Mel has now passed on. He was 15.
Mel was a purebred Miniature American Eskimo Husky. The word 'miniature' was never in his vocabulary...he really thought he was a much bigger dog than the 10 lb dog he was. He wouldn't know what to to with a ball or stick if you threw it for him. But he was always there for me every day that he was in my life.
