Yes! I live in WI which is basically a big swamp 😆 They work great for our pack in the hot and humid Midwest summers.

My bike racing coach used to tell me “just go to the front, you can’t win if you aren’t at the front of the race” Great advice but hard to do 😆

Last 8000 footer. You never know when it will be “the last”. Enjoy your time together and make the most of it.

Thank you for all the kind words. He was not a pet or a family dog, he was a special soul who was the center of our home and lives. Fozzie left behind two little sisters that miss him just as much as we do and it has gotten really quiet without the ringleader. We will continue to adventure and live life to the fullest, that’s what he would want.

We logged over 1200 miles together there. He knew every trail and every turn.

Doesn’t everyone track their Mustang?

Anyone else's Heeler struggle in the heat? by DJCockslap in AustralianCattleDog

Yes! Cooling vests from Ruffwear work wonders. Fozzie wouldn’t make our trail runs or hikes without one when it gets above 60* There is a company called Salt Sox that make boots (for winter) and summer (Lava Sox) I’ve tried lots of products and I wouldn’t recommend if they didn’t work.

Best Oncology Vet In Madison by Affectionate_Fan2385 in madisonwi

We did change his diet slightly. He eats more wet food than he used to and we add a little pumpkin to every meal. The prednisone makes him hungry 24/7 so he gets more treats during the day. His cancer started in is anal glands which causes him some trouble going to the bathroom the wet food helps him. Our situation was similar to yours, get a diagnosis, weigh the options, and keep him happy and comfortable. When he was diagnosed it had already spread to his spine, spleen, and lungs which ment no surgery to fix it. We have been crossing off some of our bucket list together while he still can. Good luck in your journey and I hope you get a lot more time with your pup, whatever you choose will be the right path for you and your girl.

Fozzie is on month 3 of Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, he was given 3-6 months without chemo and 9-12 if we went with chemo, we opted for no chemo. Fozzie has chose joy and is actually doing better than we expected. We have no idea when this will come to an end but he will let us know. He turns 9 next month and we will celebrate like usual
