Cali (my dog) Collapses While I'm Building my OFF GRID Log Cabin Basement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- While I was building the last structural wall of the charred wood basement in my off-grid log cabin at the new homestead, Cali suddenly collapsed from heat exhaustion. It took 30 minutes of cooling her down in the stream and keeping her still in the shade to get her to recover to the point that I could take her by ATV back to my truck where air conditioning helped bring her back to normal.

My dogs are closer to me than most humans, and that’s by design, and it’s easy to see you and Cali have that too. The bond is very deep. I can imagine how you felt sitting with her watching her struggling to survive. I sympathize with you my friend. I’m glad you got her to safety and everything is ok. Cali is a big part of this channel too. Take care.
mine also
I can remember when I was a child we left our dog in our old house.I will never ever forget that day
Our dog died and we cry like he's human.
@@MandoHalrissian lmfao, what is wrong with you?
@@MandoHalrissian you are a weird one, a very weird one indeed
I am a grown man, standing over six feet tall, and I've seen some things in my life. But when I see a Golden in distress, I cry like a little baby. I love those dogs. You know that when you get a dog, you'll probably outlive them, but still... I feel so helpless when they look at you with their big brown eyes, fully relying on you for help or relief... Man... Where are my tissues?
There are many of us right there with you. Cali is so special to us all. I think Cali may well be the most loved and adored dog in the whole world. I lost my old girl in April and had to turn the vid off once I knew Cali would be ok.
Dude I hear ya, I'm a big bad ass truck driver... oh boy... 🙃 But a real softy, cry at everything 😭 hope she's fine going forward. Toughen up you... lol, be cool
Crying
I taught my boys that they are more of a man, when they show their emotions, I have now taught my grandsons.... men have feelings too, and shouldn't be made to feel they're "sissies" when they NEED to be expressed... we all have seen the effects on a person who do not, then it's released in a rage...
Blessings 🌿
Well said, and very kind/thoughtful. Me to on the crying, and I'm a U.S.M.C. Veteran, and this humbles me and breaks me.
I’m 68 years old and my life since 10 I’ve always had golden retrievers. Raised a litter of pups from my bitch Sheila. I have watched all your episodes and I’ve truly fallen in love with Cali. She’s such a well mannered retriever and a joy to watch
Thank God she’s ok 🐕
That breaks my heart! I just love watching her carry her toy! She loves being by your side. ❤️💕🙏🏼for both of you amazing souls💕she’s literally part of why I watch the show! ❤️❤️
I love all dogs and maybe two of three humans
@@johnwolf629 ditto! But 1 of 3 humans! I’m hoping to create an abused animal sanctuary. ❤️just found your channel, it’s really inspiring. Thank you for your videos!
Love the Cali show. That Shawn James character is always pounding on something in the background.
I was tearing up during the segment with Cali. She is loved by the Self Reliance community. I’m glad she is better. Take care Shawn and Cali.
I warned him about this 2 years ago, along with the bad bear practices he had. I'm not surprised at all.
Same here!!! 😢😭
@@christschool I know, right?! And he doesn't listen! I've warned him time and again to shovel snow around the cabin in concentric circles and to stay out of the moon light on odd numbered days. He really shouldn't be wearing khaki either. I shake my head sadly when I think of all the really good advice we all give him that he just ignores!
@@alaskangal1973 youre a good person
@@steveqhanson6835 Thanks! We don't have our own children. We have furbabies. Cali is a good girl! ❤
Omg...heat exhaustion in dogs is very real and extremely dangerous. I worked as a vet tech in South Florida and saw too many die. People don't realize that they will overheat and too many times they don't survive. I'm glad she's ok.
Some dogs will gladly run beside your vehicle in the extreme heat until they're completely overheated and dehydrated to the point of organs shutting down (sometime fatally). They're a bit like kids in that you have to take precautions for them because they don't do it well enough by themselves.
My dogs follow me everywhere without fail. They’d follow me until they dropped for sure. Loyal little buddies. Gotta watch them. It’s frustrating trying to decipher what they want. Even when it’s just them being brats because I didn’t give them my food and they just got meat.
I'm so glad to see that Cali recovered. She's such a dear girl and so full of fun. I've been watching your vids for several years and admire your amazing building projects.
👍
@ Len Williams what happened to Cali?
That is so scary, my schnauzer collapsed with a seizure last Saturday but never completely come out of it. Had to have him put to sleep, but one thing I can be glad about. I rescued him from a bad situation when he was 5 yrs. old and the last 10 years of his life he was treated very well with lots of love. But it still hurts when you lose your best friend
I’m sorry to hear that. We also lost one of our dear dogs last week. It’s so hard to see them in pain. 🤗🥰
Very sorry for your loss.
Hugs!
Sincere condolences. It's the absolute worst losing a much loved pet. God bless you for giving him a loving home.
So sorry for your loss, thankfully y'all had a fantastic 10 years together.
It was hard watching her out like that. She is a wonderful dog an is truly man's best friend. Kisses an hugs to her.
As soon as I saw the title I clicked! I hope Cali is feeling fine now, she is a great friend
When I saw Kelly lay still for a long time, I felt terrible,
I'm glad Kelly is getting better 😍
May Kelly be healthy and you're happy too.😄
CALI, NOT Kelly
Her name is Cali, last name Fornia 😂
For many years ive had a dog rescue. Now that Im 62 I still have the last remaining 5 dogs . They are my life.
A lady up the street from me has 6 tiny dogs and a couple of big ones. She puts the older little ones in a stroller and leashes the rest for a walk. They trot happily along. Ever day they get to barking about something, the big woofs and the tiny squeaky yipes, I think its so cute what a ruckus them each trying to outbark each other!
Same here, six remaining.
I too have traveled that same rescue road ...and at 62 ...I no longer have any of my original cast 😔 .But have added newbies...can't be without .
Bless you for doing that. My heart aches thinking of all the animals that suffer, anyone who relieves that suffering is an amazing human being to me. Thank you so very much.
I dreamt of my dog who passed nearly a year ago now. I woke myself up with tears streaming down my face (which I never do). It was so nice to be around her energy and see her again. I couldn't go back to sleep after that 3:30 AM dream. I miss her dearly. A special dog spirit is worth the pain of losing them. I'm really happy that your dog recovered. God bless you.
Same here. My furbaby passed 5 days ago. (now I'm crying...again) He will forever be in my heart.
I sure know how that feels - lost my best friend 7 months ago. Like losing a child! She had to be put down - cancer got her in the spleen and took her out in no time. Sadly missed.
I lost my Joey in 2008. I still miss him so much! You cannot replace a good dog!
Two years ago, my Kerry Blue and poodle mix passed at 18 years. Lord, we had so many adventures together. Always had intimacy issues with humans but never with Harry. I still howl for him often. I'll never love like that again.
This makes my heart ache. I do hope you have another pooch now and that your heart heals.
So glad that Cali is ok. What a fright! It was weird to see such an active dog just stay still. You are amazing how calm you were Shawn and glad she's ok.
The other property and cabin was a retreat, this one is a real home, for the long haul.
Really amazing.
For visiting family and friends.
Shawn … I had a golden retriever that went through this every summer … the vet suggested that I have her coat “stripped” at the beginning of summer (taking off a lot of the bulk of her fur) … she was way more comfortable and never had another seizure after that. I also had a small plastic pool that was filled with water that she could go in to when it got too hot for her comfort level. She used it all the time. By the end of the summer, her coat had grown out enough that it kept her warm in the upcoming winter. I was so thankful for the suggestion. Maybe that will work for Cali, also …
My first thought was “Cali seems to still have her winter coat”. In SoCal it is common for thick coated dogs to have summer trim in order to cope with fur trapped heat.
Very smart. retrievers love the water and they know on their own when it is time to cool down.
I did that with our Pomerania too. He got too hot in the summer.
I groom my Golden several times during the warm weather months and he thanks me for it. He is much more comfortable and suffers less from the heat. Coat grows back quickly. Groomed my first Golden after his hot spots were getting out of control. Wished I had learned sooner that grooming would help alleviate the skin problems the Goldens often have.
My little Malti-Poo gets trimmed regularly during the Summer. She's going coming Monday for a 'Shorn the Sheep' conversion.
I almost couldn’t clip on this when it popped up in my feed. Cali has found her way into thousands of hearts around the world. Praying for you, your family and that faithful companion Cali. 🙏☦️🙏😢
This video really ripped at my heart strings. I've grown to love Cali from watching her in these videos. Hope she continues to recover okay 💛
WOW! That was scary! Give her a hug from us... and a little treat too!
Oh bless her heart! I know that when humans have this issue, they have to always be really careful from then on not too get 🥵 overheated.
You need to take care of you! Stop and smell the roses, so to speak.
So glad you were on it so quickly. Blessings to you and sweet Cali.
Yes…I’m a retired Nurse working in an auto plant here in Detroit. It’s terrible when people get heat exhaustion. So far, no heat strokes. But wow…people get really sick from heat. I know exactly how that poor baby felt! I do the same, cool water spritzer, cold pack to groins, arm pits and monitoring…..poor baby…
I’ll bet I wasn’t the only one crying at one point in this video, I’m glad she was okay!
yeah, when her tail wasn't wagging I knew it was serious.. so many tears. still a bit shaken up.
I was sitting here in tears also. Soooo glad Cali is doing ok. She is such a beautiful and well behaved dog. I look forward to seeing her on every new video. ❤❤🐕🐕
I couldn’t stop crying. Then I couldn’t stop praying.
I am so glad the dog recovered and you can relax. It was obvious that you too suffered. I used to have dogs and to me they were my family. I often said "why did I not have two dogs instead of 2 children?" It wasn't meant seriously though, but dogs give you nothing but love and no grieve. I just started to watch your videos 2 days ago and I am amazed of what you do and was from the beginning in love with your dog.
I'm so glad Cali's OK. It's kind of shocking how attached to her we as viewers have become.
Gotta love the dog!
She’s a sweetie.
Cali had us a little scared there for a minute. So glad she’s gonna be okay. Be safe, and take care of each other.💯❤️👍🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Glad Cali is doing good, that was scary. ❤️🙏🏻🥰
Seeing Cali so sick is heartbreaking.Animals and kids can’t explain.
So glad you knew what to do and that she’s better now ❤️
What a beautiful world
it would be if people had
hearts like dogs.
The American cemetery at Brittany France holds over 4000 brave human hearts, sacrificed freely at the prime of their short life to save innocents. Many other cemeteries hold similar hearts. It’s not difficult to find evidence of beautiful human hearts if you care to look for them.
@@undefinedtygerpath4096 Yes, What you are saying is the truth. Respect. (from me in the Netherlands).
@James Kirk
No thankyou. Shear laziness to want only an animal as a companion. Dogs don't have the ability to love.... they obey. Treat them good , they respond in kind. They make very few demands on a human so one isn't required to grow. I'd much rather have my only back from the dead than any of the pets I've ever had. One replaces a cat or dog when it dies, not so your child. So those advocating for animals to replace their offspring are far less of a human than those who know the balance between human and animal. Note I speak from the experience of having loved and lost both child and pets.
God’s biggest mistake is not giving our best, loyal friend enough time on earth. With our loved friends over 10 years is bonus time. There is no love like that of a dog to its peps.
Well atleast democrats anyways.they have no hearts at all its very obvious these days .
Maybe a good case of heat stroke would scare them into being honest and caring .nah doubt that would do it either
I speak for all of your subscribers. Your and Cali’s well-being is the single most important aspect of our support for what you do. I don’t know what happened to Cali as I am reacting to the headlines. Several times I have thought about this scenario. Our prayers are with Cali and you.
Trying to give us a stroke? We love Miss.Cali, praying for her.
Lord I about had a heart attack myself. God bless that precious pup.
@guy azbell. Shawn shares his joy and his sorrow with us. I can’t imagine how upset he was, as we all are, but he surely didn’t intend on giving us a stroke. Just sharing my HO and hugely relieved both he and Cali have recovered. Bless you and them. 🙏🏻🤞
My dog collapsed once and acted dead or dying. Called the vet and he said to immediately give her some corn syrup on my finger into her mouth. I did several finger fulls into her mouth. Suddenly she started to lick my finger. Then she 'woke up'. The vet told me when any trauma hits a dog, their blood sugar drops dangerously low. He said she would have died had I not done the corn syrup as fast as I did. It was incredibly hard to keep control of myself so I could help my dog. Now I will always give corn syrup or whatever sweet liquid I have to my animal if they collapse. I am so thankful to have learned that and saved my beloved Daphne! That was very scarey...🐕
Thank you for that information .
@@mimistans7715 You are very welcome.
Very upsetting to see Cali suffering like that. We all Love her so much !!!!!!
A collective heart stopping, breath holding moment for 1,000's of us when Cali went down. Happy that she ok. You looked after her so well. Cheers to you Sean ...and Cali! Carry on!
As a longtime follower and subscriber, I've drifted off to other outdoors related bloggers, always with the intention to watch Shawn's when I see them posted. I promise you, I clicked on this faster then lightening, was fighting back tears until found out what had happened and was Cali going to be OK. These two (Shawn & Cali) are so SO special. Thank god that's all it was :-) Looks like it's a weekend bingefest here for me Back At The Cabin, 'Next Chapter' Edition. LOL.
@ My Self Reliance. Good call to lay Cali in the shallow stream. A friend’s wife would have “turns” and he found if he put her into a cool swimming pool it worked well.. much better than drs medication. Think Cali may need a defluff of her coat. The weather is soo unpredictable this year.. Your basement is a very good idea... a place of refuge in a storm, storage etc.. Weather appears out of nowhere, heat, cold, hail, rain etc Take care 🙏💁♀️🐕🏡👍🏼
She's a trooper. Never stops going. And doesn't realise even dogs need a rest when it's hot.
U absolutely right, but it was 22degress out and he said she was cool too the touch, im glad she bounced back, I wonder what it was she needed rest like u stated
🙏🏽🕊️💌🐕
I. Enfer le dió al kan ???
@@bryancunningham4089 Cali is a big working dog with thick fur. Shawn ready said she's susceptible to temperature changes
I'm happy Cali feeling better, she is such a good girl, and you have giving her a good life, great job on the start of your new cabin.
Glad you were quick reacting to Cali, and so relieved she's OK. Heat is no joke for double coated, long haired dogs. ❣
So glad to see Cali recovering. Tears were wheling up in my eyes when you were trying to help her and the tender patience you gave. She needed you. She's your companion, as well as family and friends ❤😊
Scary when your dog just goes down like that poor thing glad she’s alright
Cali is lonely and bored the dog needs another dog to hang out with .
@@surinamel5708 Cali is far from lonely and bored. She gets to go everywhere with her human and play in the woods all day; when she's at home she has her entire family around her and she's never really alone. Bringing in another dog, at her age, could feel threatening. It's at least destabilizing. She needs a breather, not a life change.
@@surinamel5708 incorrect
Please take care too .at this time we are experiencing a very strong heat in Canada . This Dog takes care of you and protects you like a Guardian Angel. have time for everything. also to rest
God protect you and succeed in your new home!
Huge hugs for Cali. Hope she is feeling better🥰🥰🥰
It was so hard to watch.
@@michaelcaraway2305 very upsetting , can't even imaging how scared they both must have been. True love bond. 💕
@@lynnmicallef7422 everyone almost that has a pet has the same bond
@@terryjp3050 nothing like that bond is there? Beautiful unconditional love x
Graças a DEUS, Cali OK
Watching Cali go down makes us all realize that Cali's master and family also need to to take time for self care. Much as we look forward to each episode, those of us who admire your work applaud you as you try to balance all these mammoth projects with time for family and rejuvenation. I hope you know that sharing vicariously in your work has helped so many of us to get through this challenging year. Grateful thanks and all good wishes as you and your family go forward. Well done, Shawn. Well done.
It hurts my heart when things happen to innocent animals, glad she is okay, poor girl.
So glad she's OK! Both of the Goldens and we've had hate the heart bit but love the cold. They want to come back inside to the ac on hot summer days but have to be coaxed to come back in in the winter months. Can't blame them with all the fur.
My heart sank with that title, glad she’s doing better.
Just so so glad she’s okay, she’s such a huge part of this extended RUclips family 💕
@SenseiM3 huh 🤔
hahaha haha 😂 stupid animals missed placed emotion 😿
Cali almost always looks so happy, I'm glad she's alright
Shawn is a very good example to boys and men, what a worker he is and does it all with perfection, he is the best , nothing lazy about this is a tough dude and shining example. He is truly a GODS blessing to us all. Thankyou Shawn 😘 plus he can cook like a pro….love Cali so much.
Glad Cali's OK; she's a sweetheart.
Poor Cali, she is such a huge part of what you do. I can’t imagine how you felt .
I, too have a Golden Retriever, and she's closer to me than almost anyone! This was so upsetting to see her struggling. Hope she got medical treatment. She's so beautiful as my Grace!
She got the treatment she needed. Cooling.
@@angiegranberry3366 you have a problem!!!!! People are concerned about the dog and are sending good wishes and concern that's all.
@@martinwinfield2935 So did I send my sincere concerns. So the problem is yours! I don't comment to hear your opinion.
I'm so glad that callie was ok, my heart sank for you and callie when something was happening. It made me smile to find out she was ok. but a quick check up to make sure everything is alright never hurts. Love your videos
What a fright! What does the vet think? Heatstroke? Will Callie visit the doc for a check up? We all love your Callie so much and care about her. Thanks for the update. I look forward to more news about you both.
Wow. Good for you looking out for her! Such a good guy!
My best dog was a golden. when he got older he came down with Addison 's dieses which meant he couldn't control his body temperature . She may need tested.
So glad Cali is doing better. Doesn't take much for our fur babies to overheat. Wouldn't hurt to have her checked out by the vet to make sure nothing more is going on. Prayers for Cali.
For dogs it does take a lot for Heat Stroke. animals take heat way better them humans so being only 75F I dont think it was a heat stroke . She could eat something in woods or she could got bite by something to
I usually bookmark your videos to watch at night but I had to watch this one immediately to make sure Cali was okay 😂 I didn’t realize how invested I had become in her life and your videos!!
My thoughts exactly.
Me too 😭😢
Currently panicked watching in the middle of a zoom meeting at work. 😲
When this came up on my notifications I was driving. I literally pulled over and fast forwarded to see what was happening with Cali. I'm so grateful she's doing better - I can't deny how heartbreaking it was to see her unwell, I can only imagine what you were feeling. You know her better than any of us and I'm sure you're doing all you can to help her fully recover. Hugs to both of you!

Second Twirl... Exactly, I agree with you. Its Shawn's dog, he has had her since she was a puppy. He adores Cali and knows her more than anyone. All the, "I told you so's" merchant's of doom and gloom on here, really pisses me off! As if Shawn caused harm to Cali. SMH!
I was almost in tears to see her laying like that! Glad she's better.
Wow, I was in tears, fearing she passed, thank God she recovered! God bless you and sweet Cali!
It is the most awful feeling in the world when a beloved pet is ill. It is so frightening and heartbreaking because our animals have innocent spirits and they depend upon us with the greatest trust. Hope that Cali is doing much better.
wtf is an innocent spirit?
@@oceanmatrix7457 Childlike
Animals don't have a spirit that's what's seperates them as humans and animals.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 I believe that they do have spirits. We each have our own views, and that is mine. Cali appears to have a particularly radiant spirit--joyful and exuberant and kind.
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 wtf is a spirit?
This completely stunned me. Kinda feel as if cali s mine. We all consider you as family. Im so glad calis ok. As our family be careful up there.
All of us Cali fans held a collective breath reading the title and then watching you assess and process the situation. Happily it turned out okay, silent prayers answered for you and Cali. Very touching taste of reality and choices you make thriving in this environment of self reliance.🦮
Armand Zottola: Shawn: an important lesson with Calli…big dogs wearing heavy coats have limits in relatively nice temps. For a moment my heart stopped as I read your intro,
if she is unable to handle 76 degrees F, probably shaving her or professionally removing the winter base coat, would help her deal with the heat better. I brought my cats to the groomer in the spring and they removed the base coat and their coats felt so much thinner.
Glad to hear she's OK and enjoying her swims.
Obrigada meu grande amigo. Pelos seus vídeos. Vejos todos seus vídeos, parabéns. Igual a você, incrível 👌👌💯💯💯👏👏👏👏🥇🏆🌟
Phew … I couldn’t watch this video until I read this comment and knew Cali was ok

Gosh, my heart breaks seeing Cali like this. I hope she is doing better ♥
I hope you’re able to find a vet closer by which will take her in emergencies. That way she can be seen straight away, even if it’s a bit of a drive. It could save her life in the future ❤️
Thank God Cali is ok. U scared me. You guys are something special in this lifetime. There is so much peace watching you to build. Very rare and unique. God bless you both.
The more I deal with people the more I love my dog.
Same
I am glad you knew what was wrong with Cali!…..she is such a sweetheart!…….it is so obviously how much she loves you….thank you for sharing her with me!…..May God keep you and Ali safe and healthy!……love your refreshing videos of your journey!
A couple things come to mind with Cali: she ate a poison mushroom; she licked a poison toad; she got bit by a Missisauga rattlesnake but didn't get a lethal dose; she has some symptoms of heartworm disease. She ate some rotten meat on a carcass in the woods. Hallucinations and throwing up are clues as are lack of muscle control. Heat stroke seems unlikely. You might discuss it with your vet. It could just be a one off event. Glad she seems ok.
Looks more like heartworm caused by mosquitoes. There is treatment if caught early. When my dog had heartworms she seemed confused and clumsy.
I'm certain it wan't heat stroke either. Musgrooms , frog, snake?? she is ok now and that is all that matters. We will never know. Not the first dog i've seen lost on a channel!!!!
I would be off to the vet as soon as to make sure there is nothing else going on. Heart/VIral given location and what Cali gets up to... rather than carrying on with the build. Always come back to the build but cant come back to Cali if shes gone :(

@@IdiotWithEducation Joe robinet???
Maybe you could build a cooling off pool close to your new house for your dog if something like this happens again you can cool him down quicker...you know how to build everything! That was sad see him hurt.
I believe I like this property better than last one, Seems to have a front yard. Best wishes to Cali !!!!
Glad she's ok!

Phew didn't watch the video but my heart is relieved with this comment.
Paws a praying for Cali
I'm so glad she's O.K. she's your pup, but we all love her so much.
Maybe Cali could use a hair trim...I had a heat stroke once mowing a yard in Texas heat one summer...fainted...woke up and there was an ambulance in the yard ..glad Cali is okay...maybe she needs a check up at the vet...just to make sure all is well...God bless. You both, had me worried.
The tears were flowing seeing her like that I couldn’t stop them. I’m so happy she’s doing better. Such beautiful videos and a learning experience also. Thank you very much
Me too. Very worried. Love that dog.
@Nadia Brooks thanks love you to sweet pea. Have a better day then you obviously are.
@Nadia Brooks pathetic
@Nadia Brooks ?!!!
So glad to hear she is okay! Was in tears!!!!🥰Great job reacting to her. We just lost our dogs to old age. One right after the other. They were our family.
Love your channel🤩
Same here. They were Goldens too.
I can't imagine Shawn how you can withstand such a mode of work and this unbearable heat ... even a dog can not stand it !! You must remember that if you collapse, Cali will not be able to carry you to the stream to give you a chance to cool down ... Take care of yourself, good luck and well-being !!!
So very glad to see that Cali is better. There is such a bond between dogs and their human partner that is like none other. I was blessed enough to share 10 years with Molly my golden retriever. She has since passed but I still love and miss her. I can see how much you care and love Cali. She is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to share the building of your cabin and showing the beauty nature offers.
The love between a man and his dog. How truly wonderful to see in such a world as this, today. I enjoyed watching today. Thank you, Shawn and Cali. Hoping for both you and your beautiful dog remain strong. Your films are quite stunning.
That was scary to see her lying so still and out of it. She is such a good co worker and companion. Glad she is feeling better and she’s in good hands with you. Take care of yourselves.
Well, that was frightening in regard to Cali, Shawn. I'm relieved to see she's better. But what a rough ride it was in the beginning before you knew how it would all turn out. It's obvious how much you love her. Your followers, here, lover her, too!
I've commented before Re: Cali's coat and as a professional dog groomer (and lecturer of 15 years) just wanted to add to the voices saying 'Please don't clip her coat'. She may have a lot of undercoat still, which (as she spends a lot of time out in the elements with you) would have grown thicker over the winter months to keep her warm. A dogs coat acts like a heating system and clipping the protective layers of the dogs outer coat prevent it from doing it's job. It's like an AC unit, without the fan. The shiny 'guard hairs' or 'top layer' of the coat help reflect a lot of the suns rays and when the downy fur of the undercoat is shed that same top layer coat traps cool air against the skin to help the dog regulate it's body temperature. This works exactly the same way as it does for animals like bears. Not only does removing this top, protective layer of fur via clipping prevent it from growing back (and so doing it's job) but Cali spends much of her time with you outside and her coat will have grown accustomed to changing with the seasons. She will need it to protect her against the outdoors and weather, more than a dog that spends 90% of it's life indoors. The weather can be variable these days though, so you may find that she needs a bit of help shedding some of that undercoat more quickly and this can be done with a rake like brush. My first thought in watching this though was snake bite or perhaps even ticks or heart worm... I'm sure you're doing everything you can to get her checked over though and keeping fingers crossed for a full recovery
No sane person will read this post . Too long winded . Food for thought .
this is excellent information. thank you! I hope people take the time to read this comment through to the end
Good to know. Thanks for posting this.
@@joecola6487 I thought it was very informative and thank the sane person for taking the time to type it
My understanding of heat stroke is that once you’ve had one, you are more susceptible to them. I’m not sure if this applies to dogs, but I’d definitely keep an eye on her as the days get warmer.
Glad she’s better.
When my dog had seizures, she stayed still for a couple of days. Imagine how sore their bodies are. As time went by, her seizures became less and less and, instead of flipping, flopping seizures, she had 'frozen' seizures. Keep a record. I always thought my dog had seizures due to lack of her not drinking. Best of luck, Cali!
Could be from vaccines too. I know humans have seizures as a side effect from them (sais right on the insert).
Shawn what your see are symptoms of something maybee heartworm carried by mosquitoes . Get her to a Vet before it's too late to do anything about it. I am praying for you both.

So happy that the baby is ok. Dogs are the purest of souls!
Glad Cali is ok. This was the fastest I've ever clicked on a vid after reading the title.
Me too! I saw the notification on my phone and immediately paused my tv show. Poor Cali ❤️
Same here, immediately stopped everything
Me too!
Yeah I watched it in my office at work!!!!
Golden's never know when to say when. They go and go. She is a beautiful girl. Peace and safety to you both.
So glad she’s ok! I was in tears! Pups are family and Callie is a big part of the channel 👍
So glad Cali is okay again, so very scary!
You might try cutting her fur shorter so she can better cool off. I lived in Arizona for years and noticed many dog owners had their long haired dogs shaved in the summer months. Praying for you and your family, and your beautiful journey in life. May you always be blessed ❤️
So glad to hear Cali is ok. Or at least recovering. She's pretty amazing.
Prayers for Cali
God bless Cali, she’s a good one.
This sounds like a partial seizure my older dog was having due to brain tumor. It was all very sad. Hugs to you and Cali.
Are you a vet?
Glad Cali is OK clearly you all are getting some serious heat this year.
OMG Shawn!! I’m so glad she’s doing Okay.. She truly loves you, praying for both of you 🙏
My heart bleeds with sorrow, cause I know the feeling in your heart Shawn. 😥😪😒😓😟😢love you both . God will take care of things.
Hey Shawn my sister and I watch all the time. Cali is also a big part of our lives too. Thank you for telling us and thank you for making these wonderful videos. We are so happy Cali is better now.
Oh my gosh I was soooo frightened when Cali was out of sorts... very relieved that she recovered. God bless her!!!
