is with a very sad heart we had to help Bernard ]the son] of the two st bernards that came up from California. when they got here he only weighed 82lbs. did blood work and everything and my vet said the best thing would be to euthanize but told her he needs time to live and love and try to let Mungo be by himself off and on so he wouldn't crash also when his son dies. We got Bernard up to 125 lbs. when we went to Bark and Bath to have his nails done. He was my constant shadow. I mean he would break things just to see me outside or anywhere and would lay by the doors whenever I went into them. we had to have someone stay with him for along time as he was so full of seperation anxiety. We had 3 we had to say goodbye to in about 10 days. and I have been exhausted and emtionally done as these dogs are my family and my life and I really love what I do but need to decompress als

my heart is broken. Jinxy has crossed over as the diabetes or old age just came on her fast. made an vet appointment for her to get her blood retested and needed to call the next day to say we need to get her in now but I already knew it wasn't good. Jinxy is one of the original pack from Hoquiam. I had her for over 10 years. as you can tell she is the nurse maid and mama dog to all of them and the pack is very quiet today.

Well got a desperate call about these two ST Bernards that were down in Downy andthey are father Mungo 11 years old and son Bernard 8 years old. they arrived here Sunday and were in horrible condition gave them a few days to just rest and today Mungo got a spa day at Bark and Bath where they trimmed off so much matted hair on his tail and rear end he came out of there a whole complete different dog. Bernard goes to the vet tomorerow as he is very underweight and has a runny nose. These two are so bonded but they are settling in nicely
