Took Loki and her breakfast to the vet this morning. They took blood before and after she ate. Will take about a week to get results. She is such a sweet heart! Another gratuitous action shot.

Homemade yes. All ingredients frozen, fresh, no salt added. Thanks

Hi all, Had Loki out yesterday with Cody, I skied, they ran and got a good workout in the snow. Pic of Loki previous weekend, she just loves to run!! Anyhow she squatted to go pee and it was dark red color. Assumed it was blood, got two samples and took them and her to vet this morning. It...

Diabetes Insipidus, sorry, thought I had. Life has been normal again for Loki and us. The vet had said diagnosing DI is a matter of process of elimination because there is no test for it. We give her one eyedrop of Desmopressin every night now. Looking back, she had always drank more than Codi...

Good luck with Gunther!

Our 8 yr old male is high energy, well behaved. Incredible trail dog, running, biking, hiking, skiing. Extremely demanding of attention. Our 6 year old girl is high energy, very free spirited, velcroey, mischievous, always on patrol. Everything is her toy, snakes, porcupines, squirrels, cats...

Loki even loves the ice cold snow melt. I walked ~5 miles, Cody and Loki off course ran a bit more. Cody playing in the snow.

We started the eye drops (really a nasal spray that we shoot into her eyes) two days ago. Yesterday, her kennel bedding was dry. She let me sleep all night last night with no seepage. This am she got a more normal size drink and was not ravenous about it, she ate breakfast before getting drink...

Update, Loki is still waking us 2-3 times a night to go out. Drinks a lot in the morning and a lot more when we get home at night. I come home from lunch and let her out with a very small drink. Her day bedding is dry if I get home at lunch, wet if I can't get home for lunch. Her symptoms are...

Well Loki did not wet the bed last night, a first since this all started. Didn't wake us to go out or get a drink. We did wake up at 4:30 and encouraged her to go potty, then she came right back in and jumped in bed. I got up at 5:30 and Loki got a drink, but wasn't ravenous and drank a more...

I had put up an update, it's gone now. Tests came back. Thyroid tested one of 4. She is now on Thyro-tabs, .7mg. Kidney disease ruled out. We will see how she does on this med. The Vet has not ruled out Diabetes Insipidus, as it could be related to the poor Thyroid test result. She felt this...

We had all this done at an animal hospital. The vet we saw had conferred with others on staff.

We got her at 2 yrs old. She was spayed, we don't know when. UTI and Diabetes testing negative. Nothing abnormal with urine and blood tests. I just finished brunch. She leaked while laying at our feet. Had been outside just 1/2 hour prior. 37F out, she loves being out side. She loves to go out...

Loki is always happy and goofy and loves her lounge time and peeps time.

Hi all, Loki has become very thirsty about a week ago. Female, spayed, 5 yrs old. She has always liked water, eats it when we are at a river or lake, stream, puddle. Go to bed about 10ish, she would wake us about 4:30-6:00am to go out. Now she wakes us about every two hours to get a drink...

Cody- Cody Boy Super Freak Freakazoidal Maniac Riggley- Boxer Riggy Riga roo roo- she does the woo woo when we get home

I used to hide behind a tree when my first Doberman took his eyes off of me. Oh, boy, did that teach him to always know where I was! lol Don't do it so much that you make him anxious, but just enough to teach him to keep an eye out for ya! That sounds like a great idea!

Cody has taught me something really cool! He loves to play fetch, which quickly turns into keep away. So we started using two balls. I will throw one and he runs to it and brings it back. When he is about 20 feet from us, I will assume the throwing position. He will then accelerate to full speed...

Our Boxer Riggley has a very short snout. She gets so hot so easy. Cody has a huge tongue that he hangs out with a grin at the start of every adventure. He can go so much longer, harder than any of out Boxers were able to do. We do sick close to the rivers and creeks when it gets warmer. I carry...
