Our Blue Heeler/Sheltie mix, Blue, previously appeared in the youtube video Blue The Canine Rocky. This is a sequel to that video.
Blue turned 16 in July, 2009–roughly 2 1/2 years after receiving a terminal diagnosis (and an estimated 30 days to live). Despite various ailments brought on by old age (arthritis, sluggish liver function, knee ligament damage) Blue continues to thrive thanks to various herbal supplements and a holistic care approach. She is happy, active, and still the alpha dog in a 3-dog household.
If you are a pet owner, please investigate alternative, herbal, holistic, and non-surgical options to traditional veterinary medicine. Blue is proof that many of these supplements have merit.
This video is dedicated to Blue and senior dogs everywhere.

Congratulations Buddy: Your name now ranks with canine greats like Lassie and Rin Tin Tin.
According to an Alaska State Troopers’ press release, which follows below, Buddy ran for help and escorted a lost trooper to a burning shed at Caswell Lakes before the fire could spread to the family’s home. Check out this video shot by troopers — it’s amazing.

Buddy should get steak for dinner the rest of his life.
‘Mans best friend’ is not just a saying!
You’ll never hear of a cat doing something like that!
It definitely can happen. That’s why Merial (the maker of Heartgard) has a guarantee on their product. If you can prove that you purchased Heartgard from a licensed veterinarian and have given it regularly Merial may help with the cost of heartworm treatment. Contact your local veterinarian for more information.
My dog (a 3-year-old lab mix who was VERY likely bred in a puppy mill) was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia about a month ago after somehow straining a hip. Although the diagnosis is not yet certain (he is scheduled for a few more tests – x-rays and such, next month), it is extremely likely that he either has or will develop it or another hip issue later in life. He’s been on supplements and prescription food, along with a steady, medium-rigor walking schedule, since then, and has improved to no end.
He’s trained for Advanced Canine Rally-o and Novice Obedience (hobbies, obviously. He’s not AKC registered, but it helps us communicate!), HOWEVER, I am unsure whether or not to re-start the exercises for this, as both will eventually lead (Rally-O already) to having to go over jumps. I was not going to, but this last week he’s done sooo much better and is back to his old self. (I saw him quite jump on a chair the other day to look at me through the window – but I made him get off immediately.)
So, should I go ahead with it? Should I wait until the x-rays come back? Should I just drop it altogether and work on the ground?
Thanks, guys!
And I’m certainly NOT going to give up on him because of HD! I’m biased, but he’s the best dog ever, so no matter what we’re going to do /something/ as a team. Be it Rally-O or therapy, work gives us a stronger bond. And I have continued his training on the ground during this month.
The very best thing for a young or old dog with HD is exercise. Because even if the bone is going to ware away the dog can still function on muscle alone. While I don’t think agility is in your future I know a lot of people that went ahead and did agility with dog that were dysplasic. The dogs did fine and only when they were very old did they seem to show any affects.
I recommend that you take your dog swimming because you can exercise with very little impact on the joints. When my dog had knee surgery the vet told me as soon as the wound is healed go swimming with him. His recovery was fantastic and he’s good as gold these days.
Don’t give up on your dog because of a poor x-ray, or the dog will suffer. Just work him knowing that he should not be jump really high stuff on really hard stuff. So no 26" jumps on cement.
Don’t stop working the dog, just be careful. Because the dog doesn’t know any better. Have fun and enjoy.
Our dog Lucky executes a great escape from our backyard with an amphibious landing on our neighbor’s boat slip and travels up the street to freedom at John’s house–where bar-b-que is always on the menu. Watch Lucky make her escape on exclusive doggie cam footage. This is the short version of the video. There is a longer version (with much more sniffing and at least one pit stop) and an even shorter version (with just the escape). More Lucky videos to come!

Thomas Brooks (1608 – 1680) was a Nonconformist preacher. Born into a Puritan family, he was sent to Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He served as a chaplain in the Civil War. In 1648 he accepted the rectory of St. Margaret’s, New Fish Street, London, and on several occasions preached before Parliament. He was ejected in 1660 and remained in London as a Nonconformist preacher. During the Great Plague and Great Fire he worked in London, and in 1672 was granted a license to preach in Lime Street. He wrote over a dozen books, most of which are devotional in character

Guard, guard my heart
Guard, guard my soul,
Be with me and I don’t need anyone else.
You’ve said to me that love will be higher,
Higher than stars, stronger than water.
With every breathe we are closer.
Further from us slips away earth.
(х2)
Guard, guard my heart
Guard, guard my soul,
Be with me and I don’t need anyone else.
Without you I’m like an angel without wings,
So lonely without you in my soul.
I’ve been long keeping silence, but I haven’t forget,
It’s not possible to forget, how you kissed me.
(х2)
Guard, guard my heart
Guard, guard my soul,
Be with me and I don’t need anyone else.
