He's nine weeks, I did a six day roadtrip to pick him up, and he is, as most border collie puppies, a demon wrapped in a very cute package

These two hooligans turn five in two months, which is insane to me.
They're the only dogs left on the homestead now - a reminder of the kind of life we once lived.
Luckily, dogs are pretty happy as long as you give them enough activity. They don't know all we've lost.

Mirko had a seizure on Sunday. Lasted a couple of minutes, no loss of consciousness, been fine since. The vet suspects we'll either see her start to get more of these smaller seizures, or that it's the lead-up to a grand mal one. I just. I don't know. I give up, a little.

(We could be extremely lucky and have this be a one-time thing, but when have we ever had luck when it comes to Mirko's health.)
The fact that people breed on lines with epilepsy always pisses me off but right now I'm ready to do murder.

Meanwhile, I had to let Guhzzu go a few weeks back due to a lovely combination of cancer and a lipoma growing into his muscles that the vet didn't dare remove. He was the last of my old, elite team, the one I trusted in storms, lost trails and whiteouts.

And yeah, that means I lost 4 dogs in about half a year so things are just GREAT here.
Only having three dogs is weird. Mirko, Mollymauk and Vex'ahlia are holding down the fort, and I don't think I'll get any new huskies for a while.

My beautiful Mirko has so bad calcifications at the age of 3 years old that she has to retire from mushing and obedience training. She can barely be outside as any cold air makes her worse.

I don't know the way forward. We'll do the best we can with whatever time we have.
But my heart is broken.

Xrays, CT and a million appointments with various experts later, we're no closer to a diagnosis. She started librela shots (just had her third), and she's got her life back. It truly shows just how affected she was by the pain. Some photos of our life since then:

Mirkos nose keep getting these light spots, occasionally with a red dot in the middle of the white. These are in January, beginning of April and lastly today - and yes, it turns back to black after a few days. Not exactly normal snow nose behaviour eithera
