I Now Pronounce You a Healthy Senior Dog

Posted on by — 12 Comments ↓

TGIF!!! Woof to all my friends, it has been a busy week here.

Mom is running around doing errands, I am going with her most of the time so her back is sore today from pushing the stroller BOL and of course picking me up and down each time I want to walk. She is moaning a bit but also happy that I am happy and wanting to walk.

We have spent time in the park also which was fun and last Sunday we spent time there with my favorite Aunt and her two rescued dogs, Thomas and Coco so we called it a rescue meet up with of course lots of treats yumm and the sun was shining so it was extra special.

 

Yesterday I went to the vet grrrr which I do not like but as Mom explained the vet needs to check me to make sure I am healthy.

A sign in the vets clinic which I love as they are my heroes

The verdict: I am a perfect weight, walking beautifully for my age, cannot see but that is not news and the main issue I have at the moment is Sundowners which Mom is learning to control. It starts at about 5 in the evening when I start barking like crazy which drives Mom crazy so she has started giving me a calming supplement which does slowly relax me and then she gives me more before sleep and guess what? I am sleeping through the night so we are all getting good sleep now.

So when we were leaving the vet she said to me : I now pronounce you a healthy senior dog, which made Mom smile and sigh for relief.

As I have done in the past am going to share here again what I am giving Layla to keep her healthy.

  1. Home cooked food: Steamed chicken, ground turkey, blueberries and Mom puts apple cider in the water also which has many benefits like improving digestion, helps stop itchy skin and paws also. It must be working as I have not itched in a long long time. There are many other benefits also but we are talking about the two important ones for us.
  2. Dr Harvey’s Raw Vibrance which makes my meals very balanced with all the nutrients I need plus his Kidney Health.

  1. My magic mushrooms as Mom calls them from Real Mushrooms: Lions Mane which helps with my brain function and 5 Defenders which is a mix of 5 mushrooms which help to keep me healthy. Coupon LaylasWoof

  1. Vetericyn All In Senior Supplement which supports my bones, healthy energy levels plus has a calming supplement in it which keeps me calm.

  1. For treats in her snuffle ball I give her the freeze dried kibbles/treats from Raw Paws Pet Food which she loves. Coupon Layla. They have for cats and dogs.

Another item I am researching now is a calming bed for her to keep her calm and relaxed.

I hope by sharing with all of you it will give you an idea of now to keep your dog happy and healthy as they age and you will try these supplements also which are all approved by Layla.

Just lil old me

Have a wonderful weekend and as always be safe

With a woof and love from Layla

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone

The weekend has arrived plus a very special day for us Pet Moms. Mother’s Day is a day I celebrate with Layla every year as she is my furkid.

Being a Dog Mom like every mom is not easy. We watch our pup grow up, grow through the teenage years, and then age like us. It is an unconditional love that no one can take away from us, I could not see my life without Layla.

As a dog Mom I adjust my budget to her needs, pay the vets, the groomers, make sure she eats better than me at times but would not change it for anything in this world as she is my furkid. She is my responsibility like any mom with a kid.

As we face each day, I am blessed to have this funny munchkin in my life, she keeps me smiling, laughing, worrying, Layla is quite a little clown and yes with age she has slowed down but I as her Mom has also so we plod along enjoying each other’s company on a daily basis.

 

This week was Puppy Mill Action Week, a week we need to speak out for the voiceless, it is time to close all the Puppy Mills and give all the dogs there proper homes with Moms to look after them, love them and give them the care they deserve and need. I, as some of you know will not buy from a breeder but rescue only as there are so many dogs in shelters waiting for a Mom to fetch them, take them home and open their hearts and home to them. So as this Action week ends on Sunday, Mother’s Day, I am asking everyone to think of all these poor babies in shelters, stop supporting breeders and open your heart to a rescue, that is my Mother’s Day wish and prayer.

So, to all my follower, you are all amazing Moms, Happy Mother’s Day, make memories, enjoy every moment being a Dog Mom and have a wonderful day

Happy Mother’s Day

With love and lick from Layla and Me

 

 

 

May brings a Give Away for Cats and Dogs

Posted on by — 20 Comments ↓

Woof my friends, we took a break from blogging cos Mom decided she needed a break and umm I loved the idea as it means Mom and Me time together in the park and having fun, so today am going to share with you what we have been up to and of course our Give Away this week.

 

On the 22nd of April we went to DogFest, an annual fund raiser for one of the Elementary Schools in our area, it was lots of fun with of course lots of treats to taste at the different booths, I filled up my tummy big time while Mom worked hard pushing my stroller BOL. It was noisy, lots of fun but we came home exhausted from it all and Mom complained her back was sore, poor Mom. We hope they made a lot of money from the event. I am sharing a photo of me with the sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who do amazing charity work and always volunteering at events.

 

Last weekend we spent most of our time in the park as the weather was perfect, warm and sunny and of course I kept Mom on her toes when I was wandering around the park as she did not want me to go far but I have so much fun making her run after me on purpose, although she is trying to relax an enjoy time with her friend and her coffee, BOL.

Enjoying the sun on my face
