Have you ever been round these elements lengthy sufficient to recollect Koda, our first vizsla? David and I obtained her collectively earlier than we had been even married and we adored her. Our hearts had been ripped out when she obtained canine lymphoma at 7 and although we had been in a position to present her an additional 12 months of excellent high quality life, she finally crossed the rainbow bridge at 8 years outdated.
It took us a very long time to open our hearts to the thought of one other canine, however we lastly obtained there a couple of years later. I had began noticing vizslas round us on the soccer subject or on hikes and began asking folks the place they’d gotten their canine. Two stunning and vibrant vizslas I got here throughout had advised me the identical reply, so I reached out to this breeder in western North Carolina for extra particulars.
Connecting together with her was thrilling, as was the thought of a brand new pet! Nonetheless, she was dedicated to naturally rearing her canine and if you happen to deliberate on shopping for certainly one of her pups, you had been required to make the identical dedication. And thus started my journey into canine well being and pure strategies of elevating canine so we may carry Finley dwelling with us in 2021.

Finley is a a lot liked member of the family round right here, a lot in order that she even has her personal room! It’s really a joke, as after we had been designing the home we had no intention of constructing a room for our canine. Nonetheless, proper subsequent to the kitchen there was a deep closet underneath the steps that had no devoted objective. We figured we may put a vacuum in it. On certainly one of our visits to the home whereas it was underneath building, Hailey jokingly talked about how it might be the right sized room for Finley after which we checked out one another with a twinkle in our eyes. She was proper!
We talked about it to our builder and thus started the transformation from closet to canine room. We tiled it for simple cleansing and placed on a break up door so we may shut the entire thing or simply the underside half. The underside half of the door has a wire mesh within the center, crate fashion. We added a hook on the wall to carry her most used objects, and identical to that, Finley had a room!
The funniest factor to me is simply how usually we use the area. I can see out the entrance from the kitchen so after I see supply vehicles, neighborhood children, or buddies arrive, it’s really easy to pop Finley in her room so she doesn’t greet them barking on the entrance door. It’s a simple place to place her when I’ve meat on the counter (she’s recognized to counter surf). It’s a cushty place for her to hang around after we depart or when we have now friends over that aren’t massive on canine.
She doesn’t sleep in there at evening (she sleeps in her snoozer in our room), however she does love entering into there to relax. Once we first moved in I began feeding her in there and hiding treats for her to search out, which cemented the thought in her thoughts that this room is a cheerful place the place good issues occur. Now it has its personal command. A easy “Finley, room.” has her hop up and trot into the area. I’m so glad Hailey noticed this imaginative and prescient as a result of we use it a lot greater than we might if it was a vacuum closet.
