Snuffling Tazz - enriching our furkids' minds

Hi all,

Work ( my other job 🤭) has been absolutely crazy and the reason for my silence 🙈. Hope everyone is doing great!

If you are in Cape Town and want to get your paws and snout on either a snuffle mat or snuffle ball, head on down to Bow Wow Pets.

I cannot believe we are already almost 3 months into the new year.
It's been a long time since I have made a post🙈 and this is a long one. Catching you all up with what's been happening 'behind the scenes'.

I am still here, taking and working on orders 😁 even though I havent been overally active on social media.

I completed my course last year. I don't think I have told anyone or even mentioned what it was called 🙈. I'll do a post about this soon to tell you more!

The passing of my stepdad last year hit me hard, he was my sounding board, costing and pricing person for everything Snuffling Tazz related. It was his birthday last week as well. I am having to slowly figure these things out without him ( thank you Antonette for helping me a time or 2 when I needed guidance).

I started a part time job in January. Thankfully, I mainly work from home but it's been an adjustment for me and the dogs. Atleast Tazz hasn't minded walking at 6am when I am on the early shift. Abby on the other hand doesn't always join as she decides it's too cold for her and would prefer to stay in bed 😅.

It's been a long 11 months with Tazz's health and many vet visits ( she is so not a fan of the vet 😅). Keeping in mind she will be 14 at the end of this year. She has had elevated Liver enzymes so blood checks every few months, then food issues and her developing gastritis again. The cherry on the cake was she also developed atopic dermatitis after the gastritis in Dec and she had to get the cytopoint injection. The cytopoint injection was not something I agreed to lightly and had a long conversation with our vet before it was given. Thankfully she had no side effects and she had relief from her constantly itching skin.
As of Monday the 26th, we are ECSTATIC to say her liver enzymes are back within normal range, her blood work is great and she still hasn't had a need to scratch. She does however have some pain in her wrists in addition to her other pain issues (which we manage with gabapentin), but will be monitoring the wrist pain and offering additional pain meds. Our vet has suggested the Librella injections but that is a last resort.

That's it from me for now 😊!!!

A few weeks ago we made a 50cm x 50cm snuffle mat for Sophia, the springer spaniel.

Sophia has some issues with her one front leg caused during her birth. Her physiotherapist recommended that Sophia use a snuffle mat to encourage her to use her paws to try help strenghten it.

Isn't she just a gorgeous little pup.

Order sent to a beagle and his new staffie sister.

The pastel shades are still one of my favorites.

Do you have a favorite colour combo snuffle mat?

I am back home and back working on orders.

The last few weeks have been hard on my family as we lost a very important person to us all. It has also taught me that one can never truly have all one's ducks in a row for the family that is left behind. Make sure your loved ones know your passwords for everything, where all your important documents are etc.

My dogs have been champs through this time with the traveling and being left alone for long hours. Their routines have been non-existent but we are getting back to normal with them.

There is a slight delay on orders as I catch up.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hi all,

There will unfortunately be a delay in communications.

I am dealing with a family emergency.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Happy Sunday!!

It is another cold day in George today.
What a great way to spend a Sunday - doing some mental enrichment indoors with your pups.

Should I add this to the catalogue 🤔?

I know I haven't posted in a while - where has the time gone?

Here are a couple pics of the girls and a few orders sent ( IG limits the number of pics I can post 🤭).

What's been happening with us?
Sam got into another cat fight ( not serious) but ended up with an abscess above his eye.
Tazz's vomiting ( she had been vomiting 1-4 times a week for a while now) reached a tipping point last weekend where she refused to eat. We visited a new vet and she is now on a new diet and different meds. Check up in 2 weeks.
Abby is her usual happy self and very happy to be my guinea pig and testing DIY puzzle combinations for my assignments.
I have been focusing alot on DIY puzzles with the girls. With Tazz's new diet, we are going to have to come up with new DIY puzzle ideas and materials 🙈.

I am in the last part of my course - almost there 😊.

Orders are going out.

Thank you for your continued support ( even with the minimal social media presence).

Merry Christmas 🎄
