Today is Gibson's 7th Birthday! Such a special day as we celebrate having this sweet, gentle, beautiful boy in our lives! I can't believe it's been seven years since I picked up the four month old wooly fluff ball with the clown shaped eyebrow mask who fell madly in love with our Harley the moment he stepped paws into our house! Even through all the trials of becoming an epileptic at age three, and now his torn cruciate (see full story in this past Friday Flashback blog post ), this boy is a fighter at heart ; a real warrior and I admire and love him so. Gibbie, here's to many, many, many more happy birthdays together! Today began with the wearing of some Birthday gear:  "Seriously, M om, a hat at my age??!! I am 7 after all!"  Baking up so me peanut b utter treats with our  ne w t reat maker...Gib waited pati ently, as  Wolf and Bandit "helped." "Let's get this party started!"   "Woooooo...

Since Gibson's 7th Birthday is in just two days...January 6th...I thought today's Flashback Friday should be of him as a pup. Here he is at four months old shortly after he joined our family. He is just the sweetest, kindest, most loving canine companion who seems like "an old soul." He is one tough pup too.       Diagnosed with Canine Epilepsy shortly after he turned three, and a resulting low thyroid disorder, which are being treated and managed , h e has also had a weak hind end and bouts of ataxia as a result of the meds, but has been having K-Las er maintenance treatments to help. A few months back he suffered from Bromide toxicity due to the pharmaceutical company's reformulation of one of his Epi-meds, and  became severely ataxic, but luc kily w ith the guid ance of our vet, he rebounded from that.       N ow, he has damaged his right rear cruciate ligament and has been lame in his hind right leg for the past several ...
