< Messages Mommyfav Details Hey where did you go today School is starting again. I have to teach maths Come on you know the math you teach them won't be useful in their lives Really? Ok. Did you see the 4 moose on the way in? What no? Bernoulli can eat one mooselegs at 30cm per hour and Beaker can eat a mooseleg at 20cm per hour What And if you get to the legs in 45 minutes, and you can eat a mooseleg at 45cm per hour, using standard mooseleg size, how much do you get I don't know guess you should be in my math class < Messages Beaker Details Beaker what's on the couch NOTHING BUNSEN SHUT UP Beaker it kinda looks like a Ginger stuffed animal BUNSEN DONT WORRY ABOUT IT Are you missing Ginger??? LOOK IT MIGHT BE FUN TO FIGHT OVER THE COUCH Why is the stuffie pointed at you SO I CAN GLARE AT IT SO MY GLARING IS NOT RUSTY WHEN SHE COMES BACK Glaring gets rusty YEAH WITHOUT PRACTICE IT BECOMES A SCOWL AND THAT AINT GOING TO CUT IT AGAINST THE CAT < Messages Adam Details Hey you start University next week I do. So, being at a great big University gives you lots of opportunities It does. And I'd bet you'd have access to more chemicals there than in college I'm not helping you and Beaker do weird science. Hey all we need is some accurate time taking stuff Why Beaker thinks the faster you run, the more cookies appear relative to you That isn't a thing It's Einstein's Theory of Relativitreats Don't text me again today < Messages Ginger Details Hey how are things going in the city? Pretty good. There are so many humans here Yeah I guess on the farm you only see a few every week Where are they going all the time in such a rush I dunno. The humans here are busy again. I saw one human drive into the back of another human's car Oh smash. That happened to Beaker. It's a busy place where these hairless apes have their priorities all wrong The city is turning you hard cat All these people running around with coffee... clearly chasing lattes instead of mice.

It’s important to be bear aware, that’s for sure. The trail we were on in is a busy one and we were travelling in a larger group and making noise which lessens the chance of an encounter. The dogs remain on leash and under control on the hike as well.

Bunsen never gets into anything he shouldn’t. He did destroy one pillow and my strawberry plants in their planter when he was a puppy. Bernoulli has been more challenging with what he gets into but it has improved as he’s gotten older.

The THING that was in Bunsen was a close to 10 pound mass. It had attached to his heart and liver, but the team cut it off, and took it out of Bunsen's body. The whole hospital was watching as it was removed. It was being sent off to pathology to determine what it was and if it was cancerous. Dr. Keys had written down in the field of what it was: What it was is a long story, an incredible story, but a story for another time. Once we got the go ahead to come visit Bunsen we all rushed in to see him The skill of the medical team saved his life. In the weeks to follow, Bunsen fully recovered. The growth turned out to be an incredibly rare tapeworm cyst that lead to his story being featured on national news. Bunsen's tummy fur grew back. His cone came off. And he ran free in the setting fall sun. To those who work in veterinary medicine-thank you. Thank you for being on the front lines, caring for our pets when they need someone most. Your work is incredibly tough, and we deeply cherish the compassion, skill, and dedication you bring every day. You are true heroes.

Except-it wasn't bloat. It wasn't anything they were familiar with. Then a vet tech thought she felt an enormous mass. An ultrasound confirmed it, and the team was shocked. Inside Bunsen was a massive growth. Huge. Dr. Keys, the surgeon, had no idea what it was. They stabilized Bunsen and laid out the plan. It was terrifying. Surgery was scheduled for the next day, when the team would be fresh. They also wanted to make sure they had canine blood on hand in case it was needed. Ifit was cancer and could be removed, Bunsen could begin treatment. If it was inoperable, it would mean the end of his life. It could still be a cyst -or something else entirely. The team would be going in blind. We went back in to see Bunsen. Our family told him he was a good dog. We all hugged and kissed him. He was so sick and scared -something I had never seen in our big guy. This was the same dog who had fought off coyotes, rescued another dog trapped in the snow, and so much more. We said goodbye, and the team gave him medication to keep him comfortable and resting. Surgery was set for the morning. We were told that no news was good news. Once surgery started, if things went bad we would be called. Hours went by and a call from the emergency hospital came up on my phone. Do you know the feeling of falling in a roller coster? That's how I felt picking up the call. Dr. Keys on the line. He said three sentences.

Today, last year, Bunsen almost died. We reflect on that day, and share his story and thanks to the vet team that saved his life.

On August 15 of last year, our Bernese Mountain Dog almost died. Through the skill of the veterinary team-and Whatever spare grace the universe had that day-he survived. This is the harrowing story of Bunsen's near-death experience. Bunsen first became sick on August 13th. He threw up late that day, but since he's done that before, we assumed he had just eaten some grass or something minor. The next morning he seemed fine— not quite 100% himself, but nothing that raised alarm. This is a still of him from a video I took that morning. In the video you can clearly see he is unwell. We just didn't know. About two hour later he was in medical distress. He was vomitting contineously, pacing and crying, and couldn't lay down and get comfrotable. I texted Kris that we needed to get Bunsen to emergency immediatly. Kris where are you- how long until you are home? I'm 7 mins away When you get here we have to take Bunsen immediately to emergency. All of his symptoms were those of bloat. Deadly to dogs. She was on her way home and we left 10 minutes after my text. At the emergency clinic, they saw him instantly. The team also suspected bloat. He was given a very serious prognosis-about 50% of dogs admitted with bloat die, even with intervention. They planned to run tests to confirm, while the surgical team prepared to step in immediately if needed. Bunsen, BEAKER, and Bernoulli @ •3d Hi all - scary situation post. This morning Kris and I rushed Bunsen to emergency as he was having symptoms of bloat. Luckily, we caught it super early which probably saved his life.

3. Proper harness with a seat belt like system for the dog. Clicking a dog's leash around its neck to a seat, in simulations, will 100% injure or kill your dog. A wide, tight fitting harness is like a seatbelt for your dog, it spreads out the force and increase the time of deceleration on the dog's body. Having a deceleration - built for dogs- seat belt attachment is also important. Think of your seat belt, you can move forward in it slightly, but if there is a HUGE change in speed, it locks. This is what we have for our dogs as the crate system doesn't work in my smaller car and our dogs don't mind wearing a harness. I was lucky. I didn't click in Beaker to her seatbelt harness and she could have been horribly injured or worse. At highway speed, she would have likely died and also likey seriously hurt me as she became a living projectile. Keep your pets safe during travel.

The air bags didn't go off and I had a couple bleeding cuts somehow, a bruised cheek (maybe I punched myself?), and my wrists hurt. In the end, my car sustained almost no damage despite the impact shooting us forward a few meters. It's a sturdy machine and police/EMS who arrived after I called it in were shocked at the minimal damage. I didn't care about any of that. I cared about Beaker. She was terrified and stunned about what happened- but uninjured. We were both lucky - and here is the PSA. Please secure your dogs when you travel with them. I got hit at probably roughly 65km/hour or 40 mi/h and Beaker became a projectile. Normally all our dogs are secured, lately I had been getting lazy. How best should you keep your dog safe? 1. Have a 2. Crating your dog in your vehicle. Again, this protects your dog from flying around the car, and the smaller size decreases the force of the dog as it wont fly far in a collision, just slam around in their crate. Some negatives - obviously if you have a dog the size of Beaker or Bunsen - fitting a crate in anything but a van or SUV is either impossible or almost impossible. Poorly made cheap crates made of soft materials will just shatter from a dog's body. The crate should either be part of the car frame or bolted to the floor AND be made of sturdy material - almost like a second frame for your dog in your car.

Last year Jason got hit from behind in a car accident. Luckily everyone was mostly ok, including Beaker (dog) who was in the car with him. Jason said had been getting lazy and not clicking her in to secure her for trips. We did some research and found out three ways to help secure your pet.

Last year Beaker and I were in a car accident. I got dinged up and pretty stiff and Beaker was totally ok. It could have been so much worse. From this incident, I felt it necessary to write a PSA about dog safety in cars. On Sundays I go into my school to prep for the week and mark assignments handed in on Thursday/Friday. For the last three years Beaker has always come with me, and I look forward to working in my room with her sleeping at my feet. Sunday was father's day and I needed a hair cut badly so instead of going into my school, I went and visited my dad with Beaker, then was going to take Beaker to Kris at her school (where she was working) so I could go for a haircut. On the way to her, as I had slowed for traffic that was just picking up after a red light, I got slammed into from behind by a driver that didn't slow at all and was probably speeding. The jolt was shocking, and Beaker who had been resting in the back seat was thrown into the front of the car, flying up and over the seats and into the dash.

The dogs get along very well. Beaker likes to take the toys away from the boys and Bunsen doesn’t care but Bernoulli will try and take it back. Beaker will bark at Bernoulli and he’s pretty chill but perseveres until he’s taken it back. We proactively feed them separately to avoid food issues.

Hi Mia! We use Ruffwear Float Coats. Bernoulli wears Bunsen’s old one as Bunsen doesn’t like going in water. It’s held up for 8+ years and has really good features like wrap around panels to help maintain a natural swimming position and a handle to grab to lift out of the water. Happy swimming!

We use the life jacket for buoyancy in dock diving and in more open water like this. He had showed improvement in his swimming skills so doesn’t wear it at home on our creek walk or at the pond at doggie daycare.

Their role as working dogs for the Samoyede people speaks to their intelligence, versatility, and loyalty. While they may require some extra care due to their coat and health issues, the joy and companionship they bring to their owners make them a beloved breed worldwide.

Some issues though - Their thick double coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and keep it clean and they need earily socialization to get along with other pets in your house.

Samoyeds are known for their friendly and gentle demeanor, making them great family pets. They are also pretty smart, and their fluffy, white coat keeps them warm in cold climates.

The Samoyed breed was developed over centuries by the Samoyede people, who carefully selected dogs for their ability to thrive in cold climates and work alongside humans. They were brave, could think independently, AND were SUPER friendly.

Also, their smile is a design feature - by not having a drooping mouth or downturned lips, icicles don't form drom drool. Their smile stays ICE FREE. AWWWWWW

The Samoyed breed originates from Siberia, where they were bred by the Samoyede people for herding reindeer, pulling sleds, and keeping their families warm in the harsh Arctic conditions. I mean who WOULDN'T hug these things?

That’s the same as our older Berner, Bunsen. He’s definitely not a fan of water. Although he went in a stream with all four paws this summer when we were hiking in the Kananaskis.

He’s a special case. 💕 We have a small pool of water on our property that the beaver we had dammed up and Bernoulli would go in as Beaker, our retriever, swam. Plus, he loves the pond at his doggie daycare. We put a life jacket on him to start and he only wears it dock diving now (for buoyancy).
