EZBoy and I are still in Crystal Lake, Il with Kelly. We visited TOPS Veterinary Rehabilitation Clinic twice this past week. FIRST…we met our dear friend Kathi Luljak and her girl, Demi, and got to see Demi do her exercises. Demi was down in a swim tank and walking on a treadmill. We could even […]

Like I mentioned, we just do not have access to a physical therapist for dogs here in the big woods, but we have been working with him. Like using the Young Living Oils. As time has gone by, we noticed him using more and more of his back legs…but mostly to balance. Like when he […]

 Yep, that is EZBoy running (scooting) away from me today. He slipped past me and took off to play in the snow! EZBoy is still a scrappy, bossy, ECW kinda little dog. He might be little and paralyzed, but he does not back down from anybody! We have decided he is like one of those […]

The hardest part of letting EZBoy scoot around the house was letting his little feet callous up. We tried soft socks and these rubber dog boots and he scooted them off. Yes, vet wrap, everything…but this little guy would not stand for any of that sissy stuff. So, he scooted around and made callouses on […]

 Today I will chat about some of the things we did to work with EZBoy in the initial stages of his recovery. Once the incision had healed and stitches were out, we started letting him scoot around more to keep his muscles toned. He lost quite a bit of weight (for a little dog) and […]

EZ Boy, CH. Meneer Jackpot! Du Petit Fripon was a happy, scrappy, healthy French Bulldog until one day about two years ago. He just did not get up one morning. Nothing dramatic, no injury, we will probably never know, he just could not stand on his rear legs. All we know is he went to […]

It is still pretty dismal outside here…some snow, lots of mud and kinda just dreary. But we actually had a nice sunny day and the temps were in the 40s. So I decided to bring the Frenchies out and let them play while I fed the alpacas. What was I thinking? Of course, Money, Mudd […]

Ok, we have all heard that your dog’s should not eat chocolate and all that. I will admit I have always though all that was being a little melodramatic and over the top. Guess what, it is NOT!  A VERY dear friend called me and told me that her dogs had eaten some super all […]

The post Chocolate Poisoning for Dogs is REAL! appeared first on The Blissful Dog® Inc.. October 2009

We have had a month (or longer) of below zero highs and I am ready for a ray of sunshine. The Frenchies are virtually refusing to go outside…even for a moment.

My dear friend, Kelly, sent me this email. Her excitement and relief is just palpable…"My mom called about 4 pm this afternoon in hysterics.  Her 17 year old terrier mix, Harley was missing."
