Oh my, So sorry to hear of this. It is so hard when our best companions leave for the other side. Take care.
This is known to happen when dogs eat spawned salmon, the fish have large amounts of lactic acid which can cause lactic acidosis. Didn’t know it could happen with fresh fish; makes me wonder about the Alaskans who feed their dogs large amounts of Chums, how do they not get sick?
Not sure if you are referring to something else here, but Salmon poisoning is due to dogs eating salmonids, lamprey, salamanders or other aquatic critters that are infected with the organism Neorickettsia helmonthoeca. It is endemic from norther California to Puget Sound. Fo more info please see
Two of my pups have had it, but we caught it in time, a course of antibiotics and they were right as rain within a day. Take care and be watchful of those pups.

Sorry for your loss.
My condolences. I know , it was 17 years between dogs . I felt no dog was ever going to replace Moki our yellow lab . This present one has filled the hole partially, he’s never going to fill it completely. Each dog we have had held a special place in our hearts. This one we have now is pretty awesome in his own right .

They never replace the previous. Fill a void with a totally OMG what did we do, different personality we have to adapt to. I can’t say we regret getting a new dog, spend more time reminiscing, did Shelby act this way? Not bad comparing as much as smiling.
Sorry for your loss of your beautiful buddy, Zema.
Sorry for the loss of your companion, Lolly.
Totally two different dogs , Moki as said was a yellow lab , that guy was probably the most obedient dog I’ve ever been around , with very little effort. My wife took him to puppy school, after that , there was no other training needed . Hand signals , voice you name it he was all business , never had to raise your voice above a whisper .
Now the present one he’s a Labradoodle , no where near the same type dog as a Lab , at least not ours . Our lab was a gentle guy , but I think this Labradoodle is even more so . Gentle with people, other dogs . He likes everyone. It seems he never meets a stranger.

Working on breaking her of chasing rabbits. So far she’s caught 4 in the backyard, killed 3. The 4th escaped out of her doghouse into our house at 5:30 AM, lol.
This is as close to point she has done yet, the rabbit is just above her head. So intent, but not going further. I was able to break her concentration and continue the walk.

I like the poop bags placement!

I tried making her carry them when full, but that didn’t work.

Life of the Party
This is my Bubba Loaf. My wife and I got him second hand after his original family had a child and Milo; his original name, didn't like that he had to share food and love with someone else so we got to have him with us for a little over 2 years. It was way too short before we had to put him down last September, I didn't realize how much he meant to me. Needless to say I miss my buddy. I got some of his hair and tied up what I'm calling the Loafenleech with his hair for the body and rabbit strip. Today I took the Loafenleech out and swung it through a very sexy looking run. As it started coming off the seam into the softer water I felt a tap tap then my 4wt trout spey buried when the fish took off. Took a couple minutes but was able to bring this lovely fish in on a fly tied in my buddies honor. Thank you for giving me some more love bubba.
I watched the eclipse outside of St. Johnsbury VT at Dog Mountain. It is a 150-acre piece of land dedicated to dogs and has a memorial chapel. The walls/ceilings of the chapel are covered with messages from people who have lost their dogs. Very moving, almost makes you cry to read some. Quite a place and worth a stop if you are in the area.
