It is with a broken heart that I write this post. Our dear beloved Jagger passed away on Monday, May 12 at about 11:30 pm. It was very sudden. He seemed fine when we left for work in the morning, but when we got home he was having a lot of trouble breathing. I rushed… Continue reading Heartbreaking News

Jagger seems to enjoy doing quality control for the baby’s new gear! Here he is testing out the new stroller. He also loves taste testing all the baby’s stuffed toys… 🙂

It is amazing to us how quickly Jagger is recuperating. Within two days of the surgery, he was up and walking around without even limping! He has really bounced back from this surgery much better than we ever expected (thank heavens).

She said yes, surgery is a little risky for an older dog with a heart condition, but that they take every precaution and tweak the meds and anesthesia for each case individually,… Continue reading Appointment at Angell

This must rate up there as one of the more brutal weeks of my life. We were outside for a little while last evening.
