Chasey boy

By | March 27, 2012

Chase is definitely missing Ranger. He has been acting weird couple of weeks before Ranger left us. I had been spending a lot more time with Ranger, i.e. patting, talking, playing, walking and helping him move across the yard back to the house. With Ranger panting so hard, some days Chase goes over to him [...]

By | March 27, 2012

We, as in me, DBs and Chase misses Ranger. It’s like when Cooper was put down, the household seems quieter. But then Ranger and Chase were back to normal after 3 days after Cooper’s departure. Ranger: April 1, 1999 – March 23, 2012 You were such a mellow one, no fuss type of dog. If [...]

Ranger bud

By | March 22, 2012

Here’s the scoop with Ranger. We started him on Adequan which is suppose to help with his joints. To be honest, the shots did help his aches and that’s after 3 shots – twice a week. We saw a marked improvement with his gait. He was happily walking and enjoying his walk, sniffing away! Was [...]

Mr. Ranger

By | January 23, 2012

Mr Ranger is getting very old.  Old in age, yes,  he’s going to be 13 years old in April.  Human age for his weight and size is around 96, that’s what the vet told me.  We think he has some problem inside him, too.  Inside meaning his organs are shutting down.  It’s either his kidneys [...]

Lost tooth

By | October 10, 2011

DB found a tooth in the kitchen, right next to Ranger’s food bowl. We think it’s this guy…. He has been eating slower for a while but then I didn’t pay much attention to him eating.  He always eats fast but not as fast as Chase.  I was paying attention to Cooper then because Cooper definitely was [...]

DB already knows Coops is busy scouting through the fields, running to his heart content knowing [...]
