Today is Mork’s 12th birthday. Those who follow us know that Mork has been sick this winter and there were many times where we thought he would not make it to his birthday. So today we celebrate another year together and look forward to new adventures. ❤️🐾🐾 #drdog
Today I am very thankful! Mork has had severe breathing problems caused by Geriatric Onset Laryngeal Paralysis and Polyneuropathy for a while now and today he underwent a “tie-back” surgical procedure. The operation consists in a lateral incision on the neck and a surgical tie back of one side of the larynx. Sounds gruesome, but it is very effective! He can now breathe freely and of course, especially during the summer, can properly regulate his body temperature! Our thanks go to the whole team at the Tierklinik Hofheim @tierklinik_hofheim who were absolutely wonderful. Now it’s time to heal and enjoy the fresh air! Never underestimate your dog’s breathing problems, always consult a specialist and make sure you have proper health insurance. I will now have to be careful with Mork’s eating and drinking because of the danger of aspiration pneumonia. In other words, the pathway to the lungs is now partially permanently open. Dogs give us everything their whole life and when they get older, they deserve all the care we can give them for all the years of unconditional love they have given us. It’s payback time. ❤️🐾🐾 #drdog #tierklinikhofheim @tierklinik_hofheim
The one and only “Prince” the GSD He is smack bang in the middle of puberty! As I always say, this is the most important time in a dog’s life, not puppyhood! The reason is simple, puppyhood can be sometimes annoying for the owner but for the dog it’s just one discovery after the other. Whereas puberty is most times discombobulating for the dog! Hormone balance changes, there are daily mood swings, sudden fears, exuberance, conflicts with other males, confusion… and so on. Just like in humans! So remember, your teenage dog needs your help and guidance to get through this difficult transitory period. Don’t attribute him with human character traits to try and explain his behaviour, because, guess what, he’s not a human! Dogs are not out for world domination, whatever some idiot TV trainers say. Your dog is your copilot in life, it’s up to you to be the captain. #drdog
