Written by Jess Sandstrom Snow has constantly surprised us with her
gusto and enthusiasm as she has aged. It
Jess, Kyle & Snow has only really been over the last 12-18
are a family... months that we have seen significant
changes in her behaviour and personality.
Particularly that Snow seems to have
developed a bit of doggie dementia which
has been upsetting. But, each new need
has been adapted to through modifications
to our home, changes to the way that we
handle Snow and of course changes in
what we expect of our darling granny dog.
ONE OF THE EXCITING CHANGES WE HAVE
MADE RECENTLY...Is to get a Snow Mobile
into action so that we can go on more
adventures. Snow has had chronic pain
from arthritis and hip dysplasia since we
first brought her home which she has
always been medicated for but it has only
been lately that we have felt it has impacted
significantly on her quality of life. It started
to become a battle between boredom and
pain for our darling girl as she has not been
able to comfortably walk far enough from
home to get to have some proper fun. We
have been filling the gaps with enrichment
and training but sometimes a girl just has to
get down to the park to enjoy the sun.
Happy “Gotcha Day”
Dear Snow!
We can hardly believe our luck that we still have Snow in “ Snow was returned to DR after 6+
our lives coming up to our 6th anniversary together. years with her owners. We fostered
her first, then adopted. ” Jess
WHEN WE FIRST BROUGHT SNOW HOME IN 2012 WE THOUGHT
SHE MIGHT GET 3 OR 4 GOOD YEARS. Now, at the grand age of
14 Snow continues to fill our hearts and our home with love and we
couldn’t be happier. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives
for so long.
