Wylie’s Story originally appeared in the July – September issue of The Vizsla News. A SPECIAL NEEDS PUPPY On April 21, 2011 we had the litter from hell.  At least it was our litter from hell.  Whelping took from 6:30 am to 10:30 pm with only two puppies born.   We needed a trip to the vet for a possible C-section to get the remaining five puppies out.  Only four out of seven pups survived.  Three were mummified in the womb.  Wylie, the first out, was the smallest pup about 6 oz.  He had to be swung and rubbed ..read more

A feature from the July – September 2023 issue of The Vizsla News. This article was provided by the VCA Welfare Foundation. With hunting season upon us, it’s good to be prepared for the unexpected. We have multiple first aid kits in our household—one for the backpack, one for the car and one for the house. Fall is a good time to replenish your supplies. We put together this useful guide so you can check the box and make sure you’re covered. These kits are no substitute for proper veterinary care. Rather, these kits are intended to buy time until you can get to your vet or critical care clinic ..read more

So much so, that I have barely had one ripe tomato in my garden as the season was totally delayed. It got me thinking that it’s probably about time that I share my favorites for rain gear, and I picked Dylan’s brain for his faves in menswear too. Womens Splurge: Rainrunner Pack Jacket 2.0 – $198 Janji.com You know what I hate about most rainjackets? They way they make you feel inside the jacket – warm and muggy. Apparently I’m not the only one with th ..read more

Nail Care 101 originally appeared in the January – March 2023 edition of The Vizsla News We’ve all seen it… the long curled talon-like nails on random dog while scrolling through social media or while having a beer at a local brewery. And it seems we all have the same reaction: “oh my gosh, look at that dog’s NAILS!” While long nails are not aesthetically pleasing, and make a point of conversation, it is good to take a step back and remember why the hygiene practice is of importance and where to start to create and maintain pretty trimmed toes. No matter the venue of participation from hunting ..read more

Our outings and vacations are planned to include our four-legged companions everywhere we can, or when we must leave those sad red faces behind, it is only with those we’d trust with our own lives. In a fraction instant your world can be turned upside down; a spook, a chase, or an ill-intentioned stranger is all it takes for your dog to be featured on the next missing dog post. Those who have lived t ..read more
