  • Winter is cold

    Well, to be optimistic, at least this January is way warmer than last year at this time when we had 40 below for nearly 3 weeks and that is in the hills too! We live "in the hills" which only means you are a couple of hundred feet or more off...

  • Posting blogs

    OK. I am just a bad blogger. I think of all these things I would want to blog about but then think "why would people want to read this?" So I have to get better at just writing on a consistant basis and figure that at least I can go back and...

  • Starving Fort Yukon Dogs

    Because of the weak salmon run on the Yukon River this summer, there are a lot of dogs in Fort Yukon, Alaska, and the surrounding villages who are at severe risk of starving to death. Normally these sled dogs live on a diet heavy in fish all winter, but...

  • Onyx again

    She is now up to 40.4 pounds. Slowly but surely. We have started her on a raw chicken mix that we can buy in 50 pound blocks up here in Fairbanks. We are still feeding her 3 times a day and mixing in cooked chicken also. A Digestin in each meal plus 2...

  • Another Onyx update

    Well, Onyx is doing fairly well. Still having diarrhea at times....not really formed stools much. BUT...she is slowly gaining weight. Weighed her today and she is at 39.2 pounds. Her coat continues to be gorgeous and she has a ton of energy. If she wasn't...

  • Winter Has Broken!

    Well, summer 2009 was wonderful, full of dog yard projects, whitewater canoeing and kayaking, long walks with loose dogs, other activities, and too much work work. I got a lot done, but never enough. Carol thinks that all I did was move some dirt around...

  • More on Onyx

    Sigh....after a couple of good days on the Viokase, Onyx went back to some bad blowouts. So I stopped the Viokase and back on the GI Cell Support and Digestin in each meal. She is still get a half of a pet tab a day and bone meal with her cooked chicken...

  • Onyx weight

    She weighs 37.2 pounds this morning. Up from the low of 36. I have now established a set routine and may make small changes as we go along and I definitely will have to start feeding a more balanced diet....She is getting the Viokase-V with every meal...

    For some reason the blog is not showing my full write up...you have to click on the heading to read it all.....(ummm except now this is all showing...) But here it the latest update. I am cautiously optimistic (and elated) that we may have solved some...

  • Onyx part 4

    ARGHHHH. Learning every day and sometimes the lessons are extremely hard. Onyx had been doing well the last couple of days. Some formed stool, good energy and hopefully on the path to weight gain. But tonight I grabbed a bag of soy crumbles out of the...

  • Onyx Part 3

    A few changes in the last couple of days....when I first started this I really didn't want to use rice but felt that she needed some sort of "filler" to her lonely chicken. But I have cut that out now. I am putting 1/4 cup of soaked oat...

  • Onyx part 2

    It has been several days since Onyx has been on her new diet. For the first time in the middle of the night she had a stool that was partially formed! YEAH. Her diet at the moment consists of this: 1) before each meal I mix 1 capsule (opened and sprinkled...

  • Onyx and her digestive problems

    We have had Onyx for several years. Pretty much ever since she was rescued she has had a terrible problem with digestion and keeping weight on. This is part 1 of a blog which I am hoping that in the end will have a picture of her "fat" and healthy...

  • Don't Lick!!

    I have always hated Elizabethan collars. The dogs are uncomfortable in them....they can't turn around in a crate or lay down comfortably with the "cone" surrounding their head. I will describe what we use for most of our dogs that have gone...
