    Love my Lola Mae, and she’s always been a beauty. The vets just love her because I don’t let her get fat. They did notice a little PK in her eye last time though. Just small, and they said to watch but that it doesn’t seem to be bothering her or creating any issue at this point. She’s 10, and usually still acts like a goofy puppy!

    Loved my Ziggy. He had bladder stones and we had three extensive surgeries in a year. He was put on Royal Canin. SO and bottled water as well. He still got them after all of that and started throwing up black stuff and or vet had to put him down. She said it was probably due to inbreeding. He was only 4 1/2
