Comments: Benji is a TRUE Terrier, cute, caring, cuddly, and a NO FEAR dog!!! Loves to follow me around where ever I go, and is truly loyal.

Name: ~Rosie~

Breed: Newfoundland Landseer

Sex: Female

Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 15 1//2 months old

Comments: Rosie is a wonderful girl, even if she is spoiled rotten. She was VERY lucky- her family and her vet spotted the signs immediately, and she was in and diagnosed within 72 hours of her actual visible symptoms occurring. She is a special little dog to us, and she was almost lost. She took 4 days to stabilize when she went "bad".

O.D. lives with Dr Joan Ploem Miller and Karen Myland in Tigard, Oregon.

Name: ~KatieLynn~

Breed: Yellow Labrador Retriever

Sex: Female

Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 10 1/2 years old

Comments: KatieLynn was a very sick dog, but thank goodness we found out what was wrong! We knew something was really wrong when she stopped eating - but now she reminds us of feeding times. She is the eldest "child", with her 1 1/2 year old sister Kylie(also a yellow lab) and two step-sister cats (Thelma and Emily) to keep in line. She is a very loved member of this family, and we look forward to more good times swimming at the lake!
