I am posting this on behalf of Pat, Spirit's guardian, as she requested: "I was looking at the pictures in the EPI calendar today, and am thrilled with them. I am especially happy, and sad, to see the June picture of Smudge, Spirit and Electra. Smudge was 16 in August and went to the Bridge on the 9th of this month. It never gets easy. Pat in NH" Rest in peace, Smudge,, | |

-- Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

Dear Pat, While Smudge has followed a path that has taken him around the bend out of your sight, he will be waiting for when your paths cross again. Many hugs to you, Spirit and Electra. | |
