Lexi and Bethany




We ended the week with another trip to the doctors. This time for the dogs! The appointment was just a check up for Bethany and we were told she is to chubby. No more dog treats for her she needs to loose 5 pounds!


Lexi was unfortunately a different story. Lexi has been fighting kidney failure over the past six months. She has always had a thyroid condition and now she is diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer. This is an illness that is common in the Retriever breeds as they age. Lexi is nine years old and unfortunately we will probably loose her soon. She has been a huge part of the family and will continue to be always in our hearts. We will help her through the illness as best we can. Lexi is in no pain at the present time and was very happy to see me when I picked her up from the vet.
