Today he looks like an alert, energetic, happy dog. That’s all that matters.

He is not an old dog! He is a dignified senior! This specialist was worth seeing, now you know a lot more about how to proceed.

You're a great pet parent Jamie! Driving 4 hours to a specialist shows your deep love and commitment to Sherpa. They're not " just a dog", are they. They're our heart and soul.

Good to always see sherp being in good condition for his age.. may many years come with him ❤

Please give Sherpa lots of hugs from me! We all improve with real, physical, loving hugs! Thanks, Jamie!

The things people do for their animals! They are so worth it! 🙏

No matter what the tooth does, that was great news. It's amazing how one person can say something and you feel doom and gloom, and someone else looks at the same and add sunshine to the day.

Sherpa is like me a glowing senior citizen. He is choosing how to glow. I love the visits with Sherpa, he makes my day brighter.

No way, he's not a sad old dog 😕, made me cry that did. He's got more energy than my nearly 8 Yr old. We'll all keep praying that Sherpy will be ok ❤🙏💕

No he's not a old Dog, he it a Distinguished Senior Gentleman. Never ever say Sherpa is old until he gets to be starts showing his age. Glad everything is okay with his health.

Ramble on Jamie. We all want to know everything going on with Sherpa. So happy!

That was good news that his tooth is good , his liver is doing well and he is all together a healthy, happy boy. We all love him so much he needs to stay that way.

Glad to hear that Sherpa is clear for anesthesiology if needed. That is the biggest worry for an old puppy.

Of course he’s not a sad old dog! He’s an amazing, lively, energetic and frisky fella - who is loved across the globe. Super Sherpa ❤

I’m so glad Sherpa is ok Jamie, bless you and the vets for taking care of him too.

Sherpa was thinking " country roads take me home, to the place I belong, sleeping on the grass!"

I think Sherpa understood everything you said! He was skipping and jumping for joy when he got back to his home and garden!❤

Totally worth the drive but he’s so happy to be back in his garden! ❤

Sherpa is just like fine wine....he just gets better with age. ❤❤❤

It must be a weight off your mind knowing that Fitness is doing so well for his age. Lots of Love my beautiful boys Annette❤❤❤❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾😍😍😍😍😍😍

The world would be a better place if all people treated their pets as well as you treat shep

Jamie don't forget to keep feeding Sherpa the super foods , blueberries, raspberries , spinach, kel , salmon, sardines , these are just a few to help his liver and kidneys . Also I'll say a prayer to St Roch the patron saint of dogs ,also say a prayer to St Francis of Asisi the patron saint of all animals including dogs. I wish all the best for you and especially Sherpa .

I'm so glad you got reassurance that he would be fine if he had to have the tooth pulled. Hopefully the infection won't come back and you won't have to have it pulled. He still has his feisty days and that is always good to see.

Sherpa's a good boy. Glad Sherpa is healthy and active for a young 13 year old pup.

How sweet when you woke him up. Love the rubs but how he kissed your hands. Love how you get him in the Jeep. And so glad you always have water for him. Love his Lordship look when you are trying to explain your visit. My prayers are with both of you 🙏🙏❤❤❤

As long as Sherpa still has you Jamie, everything’s going to be alright 🥰💙

Sherpas not spoiled at all just needed his water higher 😊

It's so good to hear that he is doing well. As for rambling, we all do it! No need to apologize. It really does change one's perception when a specialist says things will be ok. You take such good care of Sherpa and love him so much. I hope that the tooth doesn't get infected again. Stay safe and healthy guys.

He always looks so good on your walks. Going to keep that special boy going for many years!

As a senior myself, I think that Sherpa is doing great. We may be a bit slower but we still have it going on. And we have gained a lot of wisdom. And we all know that you are the boss. Age has its perks.. I do miss seeing your friend Batdog.

So pleased he is well and can have tooth out if needed. Back to his big green bed I do love my sleeps outside and in my shelter and dad I'm not old yet.

Sherpa might be old but he don’t act like an old dog he still have a lot of life in him, bless him. I’m so happy about the good news about Sherpa’s tooth. He is such a happy lucky beautiful boy love him so much. Have a wonderful weekend 😊❤🥰🐾😍😘

So happy he can be sedated! You do not need to hesitate about pulling it! It can be painful before you can see swelling or foul smell but if it gets infected again he could have antibiotics and THEN you can have it pulled! Glad you went to this clinic!!! You are such a good dad!!❤☺

Glad to hear the antibiotics knocked out the infection. Hopefully the infection will not come back. Sherpa was truly happy he was back in the garden that you provided him.

You've taken such good care of Sherpa for his whole life that he is not old and decrepit, he's still active and playful. I'm sure the good news from the vets is such a relief!

For now, im just praying the infection stays away for a long while ❤

Love to hear the happiness in your voice Jamie, hopefully it will all turn out good for Sherp.

Yes hooman…yes you do need to hold my water bowl up so I get a proper drink… Years of training 🤗❤️

Just call her Anastasia😀. That is really great news. Dad sounds very happy and Sherpa looks so much more like his old self👏

Glad everything went well. Look how happy he was to be home. Bless him 😃

YEAH!! So great that I'm doing a Happy Dance for Sherpa!!!! It is great to hear that Sherpa's tooth could possibly stay clear of the infection and not impact his health!! One of the great writers wrote: The best is yet to be! 💕

Fantastic News Jamie. Takes some stress off you. ❤ He a good boy. ❤

Super happy for everything looking good for our Lord Sherpa!!! ❤ But that anesthesiologist saying she had no problem knocking him out sounded so violent 😧😬.

A trip that was well worth taking! Congrats Jamie & Sherps!!! No teeth-pulling…yet. We’ll keep praying 🙏🏼 that it doesn’t have to be pulled period! 👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sm glad the lady said he could take a good nap. Sm also hoping the infection doesn't come back.

Sherpa wants Batdog to hold his paw during the procedure!👍👍👍

Sherpa is a happy, beautiful boy . I am so happy that he is doing well, all thanks to you, Jamie . You have been doing everything for him to keep him healthy and happy. Bless you both 🙏. Love you guys ❤❤

Oh Jamie that's all fantastic news. Hopefully you can sleep better now😊❤

❤❤. Summerset is the best place👍. He’s not an OLD DOG. He’s a TEENAGER. HE IS FINE. Quit worrying.

I'm glad you saw the specialist.sherpas a puppy at heart.

Perfect example of why a second opinion is worth it. The relief on your face, Jamie, said it all. Sherpa is going to around for a while longer. ❤😊

Don’t you worry about rambling. It was the best ramble ever!

❤ Aww, he's licking your hand, that's so sweet 🫠❤❤

Hi Jamie and Sherpa! I'm so glad Sherpa's tooth is better, let's hope the infection is gone for good and nothing further needs to be done! We'll keep praying for our sweet boy! YAY Sherpy Derpy!! Have a great weekend guys! ♥

Oh course Lord Sherpa is always in perfect health gets lots of love from his family and friends all over the world plus Sherpa has a wonderful Daddy treats him well ❤❤❤❤❤and his is a puppy at heart

Sherpa is still young at heart. Sherpa is so beautiful and smart.

Well good news then for Sherpa. Be sure and journal this so you can keep close track of the dates and Sherpa's pain levels. Instead of waiting for Sherpa to display discomfort, make a point of frequently checking his mouth, gums and teeth so you are familiar with his healthy mouth and can detect changes quickly. Make a game of it. Dogs are so stoic and will hide or try to disguise weakness from us. Please, your Sherpa is a very sweet sweet boy..

Such good news! Well worth the trip and so nice to know he isn’t in pain…YAY!

Sherps lying there like “you say knock me out” what? lol. I hope it will be ok and you don’t have to knock him out , we will see tho, no matter I know you will do whatever is the best for sherps . It’s special seeing how much you love him. I hope he’s got long time left , he does look very tired these days but that’s normal . You just keep enjoying your days with him my friend and showing each other the love you do . We all love you both and support you both always ❤️

That was really good news. And saved the best to last - his reaction getting back to his garden!

Sedating him. Thats what you're looking for. 🥰. He looks wonderful today.

He was so happy to be home. How cute❤

That form could have been mine. Sherpa is the most contented husky I have ever seen ❤❤❤❤

Sherpa has his whole army of followers and the lord pulling him and you Jamie

Glad he feels better right now!

Jamie that is good news for me to know that he is doing ok. I am still praying for him to get better. You and Sherpa are like family to me. Thanks for sharing him and his adventures and friends with me. U make me feel better every day. Bless you Jamie and give sherpa a special treat from me.

He is not as poorly as the worrier Jamie thought. You are a good Dad or you wouldn't worry. Sherpa we love you ❤❤❤❤❤ stay healthy❤

Oh My! Sherpee looks like a puppy sitting back there! 13? No way! That's crazy! 😅 So happy he's doing well, Jamie! You're doing an amazing job being his Dad. Absolutely beautiful job. I don't think anyone else could possibly do more for him or love him any harder than you do! (Please give Sherpa a kiss from me. He's a big ol sweetie pie! 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤)

Sherpa is so special. I am very glad he is doing so well. Bless him, and you also Jamie. 🥰🥰❤❤

He has wonderful balance sitting up in the back of the jeep. So lovely to see.

May the Goddess of all Dogs protect our beautiful Sherpa for years to come!!♥️🐶♥️🐶♥️🐶♥️🐶

I'm sure sherpa is thinking daddy I'm old and very cute my fans love me so we're good lol

Great news Jamie! We can all let out a collective sigh of relief (I was worried about Sherpa too.) Keeping our fingers crossed that it doesn't come back in 2 weeks and you and Sherpa can spend the summer enjoying the shed and garden rather than worrying about seeing the doggo dentist.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Sherpa has the sweetest face I’ve ever seen. He is beautiful, gentle and trusting. Love you Lord Sherpa.

Such an adorable face when he’s sloshing his water down ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my gosh he loves his home. So precious ❤️

So happy everything looks good. Sherpa looked so cute looking through the window in the door waiting for her to come back with some treats. Loved it when you held Sherpas bowl up so he could drink easier. Seeing how excited Sherpa was to get home was heart warming.💜💜💜

Great news Jamie, give Sherpa a big hug from me, for this news 😊❤ Sherpa is going to be around for years to enjoy life with his Dad, his home, his garden en his shelter 😊 I was worried to be honest, but this has taken my worries away, love you boys ❤❤ Have a wonderfull and great weekend 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

Boy he is in good spirits and it’s showing in his physical release too.

Shepa appears to be quite pleased with the diagnosis. Such a sweet boy.

I love watching Sherpa in his garden. He loves it so much and it really shows. It's his happy place 😍

Yay! Praying for Sherpa.

Sherpa is a healthy senior dog. He is living his best life, loves his new "digs" with his lovely huge garden. I would do the same Jamie! I find dogs more loyal than human beings. My own life experience. They are loyal to the very end. I have had wonderful fur-babies. 3 in total spanning over 36 years...from a child to my days now. Sadly, I lost my last fur-baby "Rusty" in November 2022 to Pancreatitis. I had rescued him from our local shelter when he was 4 years old. He was an owner surrender. I had him for 7 1/2 years. I miss his little nails making that tapping sound on my floors. It is pretty silent in my house they days. But, I'm not ready to adopt another dog...for now. It takes a huge commitment, responsibility, & money. (Vet bills, food) I need a break for a bit. 36 years, having dogs is plenty. I might change my mind when I retire....Just need some time now. I never, say never. :) Have a great weekend! It is the May Long Weekend here in Canada. Cheers! :)

Good news - glad to hear the dear boy is doing ok

So glad Sherpa has two options to deal with his tooth, both with positive outcomes. Yay! He seems much more chipper today as well, running around like a pup! 😊🩷

So some good news from the specialists. Yes at least that is on the back burner for now with what just some monitering for the time being. So at least it was worth time to go for this apointment. Lots of Love my beautiful boys Annette❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾😍😍😍😍😍😍

Hahaha the pet form was hilarious 😂😂😂 A mix bag of news is better than only bad news 😊😊😊

Glad you had good news let's hope the infection dosnt reappear for a while . Good news they can take it out if needed x big hugs

You can see how happy and excited Sherp is when you arrive back home. He absolutely loves being in his own garden and sleeping on the grass 🥰💖💕

Thats quite good news that shes confident he will be ok from the anesthetic. Hopefully it will stay away a few months and then just be antibiotics. Hope you both have a great weekend

For a senior dog, he's in really good shape. Good news from the specialist. I'm really happy with the good news. ❤❤❤

Fingers and toes crossed that the infection doesn’t come back soon and he doesn’t have to have surgery anytime soon

So happy for this news. 🤞🙏 that infection doesn't return. Advanced years doesn't mean poorly. We all slow down a bit with time and it's well deserved. Alive and kicking still. 😉🤗 Enjoy your garden naps, Sherpa. Dream of all your past adventures. 🐺🥰 Jamie, you don't ramble, you speak from your 💙. Never stop. 😊👍💙

Thin mats and grass, aaww Sherp, makes it sound like he’s so hard done by, when we see all his beds scattered

I loved when Sherpie was affectionate with you. He's the goodest boy ever💖

I have to say the specialist's office is in a very nice place, even if nobody likes going to the doctor, right Sherpy? Aw how cute he is waiting and standing in front of the door, maybe there were a few treats on the other side. There is good news to hear that in the worst case scenario there is a possibility of letting Sherps sleep safely and bringing him back. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the inflammation doesn't come back in the next few months and that the worst case scenario occurs. You are a strong Boy Sherpy and fight the inflammation with your fluffyness.🥰 Very beautiful video Have a nice Friday buddy💙👊

Always rooting for sherpa and you. Stay strong and healthy.

I’m overjoyed to hear it’s good news for Sherps! I love how you call the Anesthesiologist “Ana” for short! 😹🐶❤️

Jamie your love and connection with Sherpa is beautiful you can tell immediately when arrives at home he is in his happy place. Love you both ❤️🤗

Sherpa is not a sad old dog, he’s a mature puppy! Hope the tooth problem doesn’t come back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Love to Sherpa and you of course. 🐾🐾🐾❤️
