Hi guys!
This is not going to be...
One of our typical videos.
You won't get the typical greeting... You don't get all that stuff.
I'm sure by now... Most of you who follow us at...
Our Instagram, Facebook and even here on YouTube.
I've been trying to update on the community tab as well on YouTube.
I've been reading some of the updates.
Hey girls!
Kira says: "Hold on guys! I got a squishy!"
You're going to lay in front of Shelby?
Everybody's going to lay by Shelby! Huh?
I really just wanted to make this video and kind of update you guys
on what's going on...
Shelby is not doing real great.
As you can see, I have her wrapped in a blanket right now.
Just trying to get her warmed up as she was a little cold...
She was asleep and was going to try and do the video while she slept.
She heard me and got up like, "Hey! Where you're going?"
"Can you come back and" "give me some scratches?"
Of course I can!
For those of you that don't know...
Shelby was diagnosed with early stage kidney disease
back in January (2019).
We made a bunch of changes.
But anyways, her kidney disease has progressed very rapidly since last month.
Where not really sure why is progressing this fast as it is...
But it has.
Before everybody says "Try this, try this, try this..."
We literally tried everything...
We talked to specialists, we talked to homeopathic vet.
We talked to our own vet, we had tried...
Oh my gosh! Can't tell you how many foods we tried.
We tried prescription kidney foods,
we tried raw foods, tried cooked foods,
We tried semi-cooked food...
What are you doing?
Hey! Don't bother her! Don't bother her!
Go over there! Don't bother her!
Don't bother her!
We tried feeding her fresh food. She just really not interested in eating...
She's been on a lot of medicines to kind of stimulate her appetite and
make her feel non nauseous... Nothing seems to be working.
We're not really sure why...
But we had her... We did a blood test a week ago now...
It's way worse than it was. Shelby has something called 'Non Regenerative Anemia"
which is one of the reasons we have her wrapped in a blanket right now.
Her red blood cells no longer want to create red blood cells.
So...
There's that... That's the thing...
Hey! I know this is good, huh?
That's the thing we're dealing with...
I don't know... I just wanted to make a video and kind of
let you guys know that... She's not doing real good.
I don't know why I wanted to make a video for you guys...
I guess I wanted to make a video for you guys
because we feel like she (Shelby) is a part of your life and I don't...
It's sad and is hard and...
I don't want to leave you guys out of the loop.
I feel like we share everything when it comes to our dogs with you guys.
Which can be really hard cause I get the comments from some of you that are like,
"Why are your dogs always sick?" "How come... Blah blah blah..."
Is not! That's totally not it! Is that we actually tell you evertime
something happens with them.
Instead of not telling you, which I could do and probably be easier on all of us.
But then, when something does happen you guys would just be in shock!
Which kind of had with Oakley, but Oakley was a shock for everybody.
I don't know, I just feel like I need to share these things with you guys.
Because maybe some of you...
Are going thru the same things and I don't know if this helps.
to know that you are not alone...
But, you are not alone...
Sad things happen. Dogs get older and don't live forever...
Right Shelby?
Ugh! This video is way sadder than I wanted it to be...
Let's look at Memphis for a while! Hi Memphis! How are you?
How are you...
So anyway, I'm sure I don't feel like...
Answering a lot of questions because I'm really bad at focusing
or trying to say when I'm worried about the dogs...
All these things... Hey cutie patootie!
If you guys have questions about Shelby, I don't know if I'll be able to answer them...
But, you can leave them in the comments below.
I'll try to answer when I can...
Just know, before you leave a million things about "Try this" or "Try this" and 'Try this..."
You guys, there's a good chance we already tried it.
Shelby's been on 'Kidney Support Gold' homeopathic things.
She's seen specialists, she's literally... done everything we can...
Literally everything...
But I'm not saying, don't leave your suggestions...
I'm just saying...
We probably already tried it...
We do appreciate all of... Your amazing comments...
Suggestions and love and as I said...
For the most real time updates, you probably want to follow us on Instagram,
or our Facebook page, cause I can update those faster than on YouTube.
Just find us at @GoneToTheSnowDogs
You find us pretty on all of the social sites and you probably all already know that by now.
I don't know why I repeated it on every video but I just feel that's the 'YouTuber' thing to do.
Whoa!
There was a bird up!
Yeah?
What was that? Is not Greg! He's coming over in a little bit...
He's going to come over and snuggle you hard in a little bit.
What you think? He's been over here every day this week, isn't it?
She's like: "Yeah guys!" "Greg is my favorite person!"
As I said in the video, I put up the other day. We did took her to camping.
I will put a link to the playlist.
Up in the cards above... She had a pretty good trip...
Didn't you? We got you out there and got you outside
and you got to play with your friends and you really enjoyed that...
So... Anyway, we're taking things day-by-day with Miss Shelby.
I just wanted to do this update so you guys can have a better idea
of what was going on...
That's it! I'm going to end this video.
What are you doing?
"I'm chewing on this toy!"
"Watch me rip it to pieces!"
Okay, you're cute! Let's do that!
"Okay! Watch me rip this to pieces!"
That's pretty good! That's pretty good Kira!
Aww...
Are you keeping your sister company?
You are being good at that, aren't you?
You are like: "I'm pretty good at that mom!"
''I know, Shelby don't feel good..." "I must stay right here and help her feel better."
Alright Memphis, you do that! You help her feel better...
I love you Shelby!
Yeah!
Oh... I'm sure this video just made you guys sad...
Sorry if I made you sad...
There's not a lot I could do about that...
I'll scratch you, yes!
I'll scratch you too! I know!
Everybody wants scratches!
Alright you guys...
I'm not going to say what I normally say on every video, except for...
Stay positive and dream big. We will see you again soon.
Also, if we disappear of YouTube for a couple of days...
Just check our other social sites.
Alright guys...
See you later!
Gosh... You are so cute!
You are so cute! Oh you really love those scratches...
I love you Shelby...
Everybody on the Internet loves you...
