Hi LRCP. Its early and later today I will have some exciting news -- the New Name. However, for now I am writing with a wake up call reminder for us all. Canine Bloat! Last evening dear friends of mine had to say goodbye to their faithful friend Ajax, a 10+ year old German Shepherd. I have loved and cared for Ajax as my own since he was only a few weeks old. He now is soaring high with so many others. Ajax is obviously not a lab -- but was a very dear part of my extended pet family. He was one of the most handsome, gentle, goofy, smart, loving GSDs ever to walk this earth. Fortunately, his mom and dad are very savvy pet parents. Ajax went from happy and goofy to severely distressed and critical in less than 1 hour. They took him to Southpaws -- but the decision based on many factors was to let him go. Why am I writing? Labs are one of those breeds who are more prone to experience bloat. Following is an excellent, brief guide -- what it means and what to look for. It is not meant to scare anyone -- but it is a wake up call. Know what to look for -- and if your pups ever show signs of possible bloat -- go to the vet immediately. Please take a few minutes and click the link at the end. It is a good overview -- something you pray you will never need (like pet CPR) -- but information that is critical to know. I hope by posting this information it will make us all a little more aware. Ajax, I know you would want us all to know. Fly high dear Ajax -- you were one in a gazillion. Your place in my heart is yours and yours alone. Renae and Dave thank you for sharing Ajax with us all.
