I recently adopted a 7 year old stray Pearl. I make sure to walk her for 15 minutes before bed. She pees but doesn’t always poop. I let her run free in the uncarpeted areas, but she wakes me up at 3 AM to pee. She also gets excited when she see me in the morning and pees. If I sleep with her on the couch she is fine, but I don’t want to have to sleep on the couch with her and I am afraid she is going to get excited and pee if I allow her in my room and then I am going to have to clean and shampoo the carpet. I am considering putting pee pads all over the apartment, I have done the kitchen so far. Would appreciate any advice on how to make sure we both get some sleep.

This corner of our neighborhood has become another digging spot for the Tuffster. This time it's ground up leaves and he just loves it. Also look at the all black wooly bear I saw yesterday at the park. As always have a great day and a happy TUFFY TUESDAY!

We just got these 2 cuties from the same person. 1 is 8 weeks and the other is 7. Same Dad, different Moms. The person said one is morki and one is yorki. What do you think? Doesn’t make any difference but just curious for vet purposes. I’m so in love! Anyone have look alikes ??

We just got back from Luca’s nephrology appointment, and the news is encouraging! ❤️ He’s been classified as Stage 1 kidney disease, but his labs look great and his blood pressure is stable. For now, his only treatment is a renal diet.

Thankfully, we caught it early and started his renal food right away. We’ll continue monitoring his labs and follow up in 3–6 months.

While his long-term prognosis depends on how things progress, he’s doing really well right now. With early intervention and continued care, we’re hopeful Luca can enjoy many more happy, healthy years. ❤️🐾

Thank you for all the prayers and good vibes!

We love our brave, little Luca. 💙💙💙

Just wanted to make the community aware of mast cell tumours and the importance of catching them early.

I noticed a small lump on the back of Mr Tolby’s neck, between his shoulder blades. We initially left it for a couple of months, thinking it was either a cyst or an insect bite, especially given the recent hot weather.

The lump gradually increased in size to about that of a small garden pea. We took Mr Tolby in for a routine check-up, where a fine needle aspirate (FNA) was carried out and sent off for testing.

Unfortunately, the results came back positive for a malignant tumour. Further blood tests were carried out, and the results came back the same day.

Thankfully, these showed no signs of the cancer affecting his organs or of any obvious spread in the bloodwork.

The very next day, surgery was booked, and Mr Tolby had an area of approximately 3 inches removed. The surgical margins were wide and deep, with the hope of removing all the cancerous cells in the area.

He’s now back home recovering and, as usual, keeping an eye on the biscuit cupboard! ❤️

If in doubt, please get your pups checked sooner rather than later. Even a small lump can turn out to be something more serious, so it’s always worth getting it checked by your vet.

Mr Tolby loves watching this channel and seeing everyone’s contributions, so I wanted to share our experience with the community in the hope that it might help another pup.

Give your pups an extra cuddle from Mr Tolby! 🐾

So if you remember me suffering here about a month ago, hi! Wanted to share this pic I keep laughing at, as well as some good news in my initial old post! Thank you to everyone who offered kind words and advice back then!
