So for those who are wondering, I am one of those dog owners who came up with the bright idea of setting up a Facebook Page for their pooch. This is not a dog page offering free pet advice to people but more of a way for Lars, AKA Bar to have his own forum [...]

There are a lot of misconceptions out there when it comes to guide dogs and what they do and what they do not do, and I am here to save the day if you will. I feel pretty confident in saying that at one time or another, the majority of handlers have been approached by [...]
As Lars lies sprawled out on his big bed, I can not help but smile to myself as I hear him softly snoring away. The little man has been through a lot over the last year and hopefully we are nearing the end of his journey, as far as his recovery from TPLO goes, anyway. [...]
So it has been a while since I posted about Lars, my beautiful Black Lab who is in the midst of recovering from a TPLO performed on his left rear leg back on July 12. I have documented his progress on the site so far, and for a little refresher, you can check out his [...]
Today my boy Lars had his 8-week x-ray to determine if his TPLO is healing up the way it is supposed too. I dropped him off at the vet at 8:30 and was told that the vet would call me after the x-ray was performed to discuss the findings. Lars’s troubles first began way back [...]
My beautiful Black Lab Lars has his very own Facebook page and has many adoring fans that check in on him daily to see what he is up too. Being lazy as of late because of TPLO rehab, Lars, AKA Bar has had a lot of free time on his paws and has put it [...]

After two easy days which included some shorter walks he appeared to be doing much better but after a longer flexi walk yesterday, he spent the remainder of the day really [...]
Nearly seven weeks post TPLO for the bar, and his first minor set back in recovery. Yesterday was a very cool day and Lars was very amped up as a result, taking full advantage of his 25ft of room on his flexi leash to bound back and fourth on his lengthy outing. For the rest [...]
So recently I discovered that there were a few staple stragglers that the vet techs had not seen when I took Bar in to have his staples removed one week after he underwent TPLO. Needless to say I was not very impressed when I discovered the two extra pieces of metal in Bar’s leg but [...]
It is now six weeks post TPLO surgery for Lars, only two weeks to go before his eight week x-ray.
