Mollymauk and Vex'ahlia are now 4 years old, where did my tiny potatoes go and who are these giants living in my house???
Some portraits from before/after today's training run
Mirko had a seizure on Sunday. Lasted a couple of minutes, no loss of consciousness, been fine since. The vet suspects we'll either see her start to get more of these smaller seizures, or that it's the lead-up to a grand mal one. I just. I don't know. I give up, a little.
(We could be extremely lucky and have this be a one-time thing, but when have we ever had luck when it comes to Mirko's health.)
The fact that people breed on lines with epilepsy always pisses me off but right now I'm ready to do murder.
Meanwhile, I had to let Guhzzu go a few weeks back due to a lovely combination of cancer and a lipoma growing into his muscles that the vet didn't dare remove. He was the last of my old, elite team, the one I trusted in storms, lost trails and whiteouts.
My beautiful Mirko has so bad calcifications at the age of 3 years old that she has to retire from mushing and obedience training. She can barely be outside as any cold air makes her worse.
I don't know the way forward. We'll do the best we can with whatever time we have.
But my heart is broken.
I have been on the hunt for a new bc for a while, but why oh why are people SO BAD at doing health checks on dogs because "they do their work just fine"??? SIR MY DOG WILL DO ANYTHING TO WORK DESPITE DEBILITATING PAIN just fucking xray their spines I am begging you
Mirkos nose keep getting these light spots, occasionally with a red dot in the middle of the white. These are in January, beginning of April and lastly today - and yes, it turns back to black after a few days. Not exactly normal snow nose behaviour eithera
