River (the Service Sheltie), Dax, and Dexter and their Dads
@riverthesheltie.bsky.social
River a tricolour Shetland Sheepdog who lives with her cat siblings Dax & Dexter both sister/brother house panthers! We live with our Dads in Toronto, ON. River is training to be a Diabetes Alert Dog (DAD) to help her Dad with Type 1 diabetes.
Thanks frens, we think the cancer would take him but it is kidney failure which was the same with Ridley. It happened so fast but tomorrow he won’t be suffering anymore. It’s so hard to watch.

Sending best wishes for Phoebe's spay! River'spay was uneventful but she wouldn't eat after, but was completely normal otherwise, then started vomiting & ended up in the ICU - they never were able to find a cause other than reduction in hormones/inflammatory response. A bit of stomach meds fixed it.

Aww poor Uncle Dunc - hope the surgery goes well and he feels better - give him some scritches from us and of Phoebe too.

We were home alone b/c Bruce was still in the hospital Dad is talking to our trainer to see if we can get a device that I can push with my nose or paw if he doesn't repond & we are alone. It can call several numbers including EMS My job duties keep increasing but I don't mind if it keeps Dad safe.

Yes I'm really happy about that because he loves me and I love my big brother. I love Daxy too but I'm afraid of her since she is the big boss and uses those built in swords on me all the time.

Yes he still needs the hip surgery as the heart issue was found the day before the planned surgery so they had to cancel it. Now he is cleared to have it so he sees the surgeon Monday. Hopefully soon.

Thanks friends, they are doing better my Dad Bruce was supposed to get a new hip but they discovered he had a faulty heart valve that had to be replaced first. Then Harry, my employer, had a very low blood sugar, he remembers me alerting but then had a seizure and he couldn't wake up.

Oh we are so happy - poor puppy!

Oh no, hope it's not too painful - careful wagging there pal until it heals.

Has he learned yet that the cats are in charge? I had to learn that quickly as Daxy put me in my place!

It's been cooler here but not so wet so no muddy paws - now if we were at the trailer since it is right at Lake Erie and rains a lot it would be always muddy!
