Daily Life with our Dogs

Fun Facts about living in the 

Stone Dog Household

Food:

Currently we feed Eukanuba large breed food twice a day.  We supplement their diet with yogurt, olive oil, vegetables and the occasional bit of meat.  

Luca has a custom built raised feeder for her food, as will our new hound as he grows. 

Pet ID:

Both dogs are chipped, have embroidered collars and tags as well. They are also licensed as required in our area.

Where they live:

They are family, so they live with us.  They both tend to follow us around the house and are are usually close by and typically underfoot, although they do know what "out of the kitchen" means. They sleep in our room with us, each in their own bed.  You will see that Mystic's is a bit dirty in his photo-he had been playing the mud and we apparently missed a bit when cleaning him up.  He has had this bed since he was a puppy and loves it.  

We do allow our dogs on the furniture when we give them permission.  We do not let them sleep with us but they do snuggle at bedtime and in the mornings.  We have actually discussed purchasing a California king size mattress down the road so we have room for everyone. :) 

Veterinary Care:

Both dogs see our veterinarian for their annual check ups and vaccinations.  Due to Luca's size and her seizures, we order ivermectin free heartworm medicine for both dogs through Road Runner pharmacy.  Luca sees a specialist veterinarian for her idiopathic epilepsy.

Grooming:
We do all our own grooming, bathing and nail trims.  Luca is pretty easy and does not require much grooming, other than constantly wiping her face after drinking since she drools.  Mystic is a double coated dog and requires regular brushing and sheds enough to make a sweater.  We take them to our local Wag and Wash for their full baths.
