Huckleberry is a spirited beagle whose appetite for life is as insatiable as his appetite for just about anything else. He has been Erin’s sidekick and companion since 2009 and has travelled from Colorado to Connecticut, up and down the East Coast and back again when she was in the Coast Guard and then moved with her to Scotland for vet school.
Huck has played at herding cows on a dairy farm in England (we never told him that they knew where to go and were not actually listening to him), kayaked in Long Island Sound and brazenly stolen croissants fresh from a Parisian bakery. He’s climbed mountains, explored castles, and been a welcome addition to many Scottish pubs.
Since starting acupuncture with Dr Kelly, Huckleberry has developed a shocking new lease on life! Although he has never stopped hiking, exploring and searching for snacks, he certainly was slowing down quite a bit. Since starting treatments, Huckleberry is literally acting like a puppy again – a nearly 14-year-old, terribly clever and wise puppy. He’s using his new found mobility, experience and his senior dog brain power to move furniture around the house and climb on countertops. Buyer beware – acupuncture may require you to “puppy proof” your home for a senior dog all over again. It is truly amazing.
