Hannah was born in March 2004. Her life has been mostly holistic and fairly uneventful.  Holistic medicine helped her ACL issues when she was younger. In typical newf fashion,  it didn't slow her down anyway. She made a full recovery. She is stubborn and does what she wants. And when a 125 lb dog pushes thru or pulls a particular direction,  she typically gets her way.

In May 2011, with no apparent warning,  Hannah collapsed.  We rushed her to the emergency hospital and were told she had hemangiosarcoma and probably wouldn't make it til the morning.  We were told to say our goodbyes. She did make it so we contacted our holistic vet the next morning.  He told us to get her spleen removed and he can help her after that. Being a Newfoundland,  she needed a few units of blood to make it through the surgery and we were worried but she made it. It was very nerve-wracking.  We treated her afterward holistically with traditional chinese medicine, homeopathy, and nutritional supplements. She is doing well with no health issues at this time and she is nearing her 12th birthday in 2016. We never dreamt she would make it this far.  She is very special to us.
