Itchy Dog Relief Guidelines

With a major veterinary magazine deadline looming, I spent time reading in full the latest thinking about itchy dog relief from the new 2023 AAHA Management of Allergic Skin Diseases in Dogs and Cats Guidelines.

Mr Stix NACSW NW1 Searches

On June 23 2023, our youngest canine hero (Mr Stix) earned his NACSW NW1 title on his second try. He also earned a 2nd place and pronounced honors for his speedy exterior search at the event held at Rambler Ranch in Elizabeth, Colorado. He is SO cute when he is working with his nose. Don’t miss these 4 videos! It also happened to be the 10th anniversary of my Mom’s death (even though I say 20th in the final video), so I asked her for a little help.

Not the News We Planned to Share

It’s an interesting thing to head into a new year thinking that goals and plans and purposes are all set. As hard as some things seem, we forge ahead and do the work and take steps toward the original plan. Then, a bunch of stuff happens and fate keeps bonking you in the nose, until you get the hint. This is the story of something like that — at least part of it. Yes, it involves dogs. Don’t miss this news. It’s good. I promise. It’s about Mr Stix.
