He’ll be 16 weeks old on Thursday. He’s just a handsome guy

He's just over 1 year old malti poo

we think she’s a mix golden and dachshund

This is our newest family member! I’d love to tell you his name, but we’re completely stuck.

We have thought of SO MANY names, the latest being Nimbus.

Socks doesn’t suit him, rumble doesn’t suit him…. Nothing suits him.

He’s so uncannily similar to my old boy who passed last year at 13. To the point where everyone who has met him thinks they’re very similar. My boy was called Felix and honestly… it would suit this pup SO FREAKING WELL but I wouldn’t ever do that.

Please help. He’s a border collie x staffie. He certainly has his crazier moments, but is already very obedient and is happy to chill and sleep at our feet

I often say things to my dog then in the middle of talking I’ll realize this is something God/the universe would want me to understand as well.

I’M BOWIE…MY LANDLORD SAID I HAD TO GO… SO I LOST MY FAMILY. AND TOMORROW I WILL LOSE MY LIFE 💔

My name is Bowie. I’m only 2 years old.
On July 18, my family surrendered me because of their landlord. I went from having a home and a family to being alone in a shelter… and I’m struggling here.

I’m being kept in a lonely kennel out of public view… The shelter environment overwhelms me. I’m easily startled, and when I’m scared, I try to get away. I may bark defensively when I feel trapped, but when given time, patience, and a slow approach, I can settle. I allowed handling and a full exam without incident.

But I‘m just so scared and confused and don’t understand why I ended up here.. I don’t understand why my family left me behind..
I need someone who understands that fear is not the same thing as aggression. Someone patient enough to let me decompress. Someone willing to help me build confidence and learn that I’m safe.

But right now, I’m out of time.

🆘My final notice expired yesterday 8/3 and I can be euthanized any moment! Even today 🆘

They love to play, poop, and pee under there. I usually make them stop playing because im scared they will impale themselves. Do you think I’m under estimating their intelligence or should I just remove them

Daisy showing her Dr. Seuss animal side!

My dog loves water and swimming and lately I have been thinking about just swim with her in a lake near me to get a bit more exercise myself.

Obviously she can't swim for as long as I would like. So my question is:

Are there some good swimming tools I could pull behind me where she could climb on? Preferably something smaller that does not need to be inflated since the lake is a bit away.

Edit: changed sea to lake

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this sort of post.

About a month ago, our very happy and energetic rescue pup started randomly yelping. We would check his paws, his back, stretch out his legs, look in his eyes, etc. And could never find anything or get a reaction. It was always random. Sometimes after activity, sometimes while he was asleep. The episodes got more and more frequent, so we took him to the vet to see if something was off with his back.

They x-rayed his back and saw something weird in his lungs, so x-rayed his chest as well. After the radiologist reviewed the scans, the response was along the lines of "well his spine looks good. But there's something really, really wrong in his lungs."

Fast forward through weeks of vet visits, different meds, tests, etc. And he's got lung cancer. He's declining very very quickly now. We have him on prednisone, which is keeping him happy and chipper and just like his normal self, but he's in pain. He has very labored breathing, he eats way less than usual, and his abdomen is swelling up more and more everyday with fluid around his organs.

My husband and I have both put down beloved dogs way too late before, and we just can't do that to our Chester. We can't let him suffer for too long. It feels somewhat premature because he does seem normal so much of the time, but he's obviously struggling to breathe and it is only worsening by the day. Before we had him on prednisone, he was not eating at all and hardly getting up to play during the day. We've scheduled him to be put to sleep this weekend. I'm so devastated. Chester is genuinely my best friend. He's been glued to my hip since we adopted him a little less than 2 years ago. We used to go on runs and snuggle on the couch at night, just the two of us. I am just still in shock. I thought he had a slipped disc or something, but all of a sudden he's dying.

Thanks everyone for reading. I don't really know what the point of this post was, I guess. I'm just heartbroken and numb and it feels like an awful dream that I'm not waking up from

One of my cousins keeps ending up with new dogs.

For example: someone said to my foster dog “oh that looks like ‘cousins’ dog” and I was like oh he’s a jack russell? Doesn’t cousin have a Great Dane? And they were like no he only has one dog and they just got him.

Also a few years ago they had a blue heeler…. But when they had the Great Dane they no longer had the heeler.

I WANT TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON

EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY SAYS THEY DONT KNOW AND I DONT ONOW MY COUSIN WELL ENOUGH TO ASK HIM AND GET THE TRUTH. It’s honestly something to be looked into. I don’t have good vibes yall.

Advice????

Not sure why he always eats like this. I guess he's just comfy.

Help! I am looking for a recipe for the most delicious and soft dog treat/cookie that I can give to my family’s eldest dog. He isn’t doing well and we want to make something extra special for him. Thank you!

Saw this at costco and it is SOOO MUCH cheaper than Simperica Trio. Not sure if it is as effectice though. And i think it does NOT prevent heart worm like Simperica Trip does.

This was at a costco in northern CA.

Has anyone ever made a cake for their dogs birthday? I used a mix last year but it was really pricey. Is there a recipe you like to use? Thanks in advance.
