His name is Twix, he loves to make biscuits on fleece blankets and has a favorite toy he carries around the house all day.

Last years annual checkup absolutely destroyed me when a test came back heartworm positive. I was blown away, we immediately switched preventatives and began treatment. There were no symptoms. Almost didn’t test since he had been treated but decided to be safe. We were finally off of his exercise restriction a few months ago and began losing weight together. We began testing and it was still positive, but by the grace of god yesterday we got a negative result. The vet said his heart sounds amazing, he has lost weight, his teeth look awesome and I am so grateful my boy is well.

We have been saving up for a house so he can have a backyard to roam. He turned 7 in December, and decided even though he hasn’t shown signs of arthritis it’s best we got rid of the stairs. I am actively moving into a ground floor apartment until we hit our goal and find what we need.

We are Hopsins 4th (and final) owners. He has been a part of our family since the end of 2022. Im not sure what exactly he went through but for a long time I had to do laundry at odd hours because he was very afraid of hangers and belts. He no longer feels unsafe around them.

I made him a cake to celebrate, it is 100% pup friendly. Pumpkin, oat flour, SF peanut butter, banana, an egg and some plain greek yogurt. The treats are his multivitamins and crushed up aldi bones. It’s my first time so it’s kinda ugly but he loved it and that’s all that matters.
