Update on Guinness

Hi, everyone. Mom reporting in today. I thought that since we reported that Guinness was having some issues earlier, maybe an update was necessary. Unfortunately, the news is not good for my little grrl. Guinness most likely has Degenerative Myelopathy - a condition where her brain is unable to send the proper signals to her muscles. It is like MS for dogs and will keep degenerating as time goes on. Right now she's dragging her back left paw and stumbles quite often. There is no pain, thank goodness. However, she will eventually loose the use of her hind quarters and front as well. So, the decision for us will be how long she has quality of life. We are hoping that it will progress slowly.

We are going to make some changes at our house for her. Weston is going to go to another foster home soon, as he is waaaay too much of a puppy for her. We will, in turn, get an older and slower foster in return so she can be comfortable. So, stay tuned for pup-dates. We know that all of you wish her well and will keep Guinness in your thoughts. Thank you for that. that's why we love blogging so much! You are all terrific friends!

Action Packed Sunday

Hi there, pups! Weston is here to tell ya all bout the great time we had at the dog park this morning. We know most of you take it easy on Sundays, but we sure didn't! Shiloh & I were runnin and jumpin and havin a ball! It was a bewootiful morning and our dog park is very shady, with lots of trees to pee on, I mean to keep us cool.

Here I am taking a much needed water break - yum! Fresh, cool water - slurp!

Have a terrific Sunday, pups, no matter how you spend it!

Weston

Haroo all you puppers. Guinness Grrl reporting in today. Here I am, at the V-E-T! I had to get my annual checkup. I was a very good grrl, in spite of all of the very rude things that they did to me. But it is all over for now. Our vet is very nice - his name is Dr. McGuff at Schwenksville Veterinary Medical Arts. all of the staff there are very sweet and tell me how pretty I am.

I am having some weakness in my hind legs, but I am otherwise fit as a fiddle - that's mom's expression. I am going to a specialist about my legs next week, so there is sure to be more treats for good behavior while I am there.

See how good I am being???

Lazy Sunday

Hi, puppers! It's Weston here. Dad caught me relaxin with my bone. Isn't this what Sunday's are all about? I really like it here on the couch. Guinness doesn't let me up here very often, so I have to get couch time when I can.

Roo ya later,
Weston

Pierogie Party

Today we had a big party at our house. All of the humans were there playing with dough and filling it with awesome stuff like sauerkraut and potatoes, and even berries like strawberries and blueberries! Yummy!

This is only one of the five batches that were made today.

This weekend has gone to the dogs!

Everything we did this weekend was because of doggies! Ray got adopted and Weston came to the Stoutino Inn. Sunday was a day filled with dog park fun! Two dog parks! One indoors and one out. And boy are we tired now. Here are some better shots of Weston. We are all guessing his non-husky half is Lab - what do you think?

A new day brings good news

Hello everyone. Mom reporting today with good news - Ray has been adopted! He has a very wonderful, husky experienced, family and a new sister named Daisy (also a husky). He now lives in Lancaster with these great folks. We were, of course, sad to see him leave, but we know he is in a very good place. Best wishes to Ray!

Just after dropping off Ray, I went to the York SPCA to spring yet another husky in need and bring him to the Stoutino Inn. Meet Wessen. We think Weston or Wess is a better name, however. Wess is a BIG BOY, who is only 1 year old. Very playful and spunky too. Guinness and Shiloh are getting along just fine with Wess. And, as you can see, he loves the water. Good thing too - he stank from the shelter, so a bath was a first priority.

However, we cannot stay too clean! Hee hee!
