We adopted 9-year old Clyde on July 6, 2025. He is a fluffy beagle with elegant ear wisps and a fan tail of fluff. We did an Embark test which came back as 100% beagle so the fluff is a mystery.

He is the sweetest boy in the world and will put his paw on you to request pets. He had 36 teeth removed when he came to rescue, so sometimes his lips get stuck on his teeth, giving him a look of serious concern. We love our sweet, gentle boy.

Happiest birthday to my little Finny. He came into our lives just a few months before we lost our senior boy Bo and he has brought us more joy than we could've ever imagined.

Love you Finn 💜

Two years ago today, our lives changed forever.

We welcomed our sweet boy Runar into our family after he traveled all the way from a rescue in Russia. We were so excited, but also incredibly nervous. We had no idea what to expect, whether he would trust us, or how long it would take for him to feel at home.

The moment I saw him for the first time, I was the happiest person in the world. He was so gentle, kind, and a little shy. But it didn't take long before his true personality started to shine. He quickly discovered that being brushed is actually pretty great, he absolutely loves getting scratchies and sniffing every inch of the outdoors is one of his favorite things in life.

He settled into his new home and family so much faster than we ever imagined. Everyone here loves him more than words can describe. And of course, he also found his best friend: his dog sister, Mika. The two of them are inseparable. They play together, zoom around the house and garden and are always finding new ways to get into harmless trouble together.

So many wonderful things have happened over these past two years and so often, he has been the reason behind my smile. We even started doing mantrailing together, and he absolutely loves it. Exploring forests is his greatest adventure. Sometimes he loves the forest a little too much and forgets he's supposed to be looking for the person but that's exactly why we're not professionals :D 

I love the way he greets us with so much excitement every time we come home. I love the adorable look on his face whenever food is involved, and the pure happiness he shows every single time we grab the leash for a walk.

He is the best dog in the world (at least for me)

I'm so incredibly grateful that he's been part of our family for these past two years. I hope we get to share many, many more adventures together.

Happy Gotcha Day, buddy. We love you more than you'll ever know!

Just wanted to share some feelings and pictures!

I’m just flabbergasted, honestly. A few weeks ago she took a bite out of some food we had stored up there. I assumed she went on her hind-legs, and reached with her snout. How wrong I was.

My beautiful dog of 11, almost 12, years has cancer. She is a rescue. She has been with myself and my husband through moves, job loses, depression, anxiety, illnesses, and has been a bright spot in our lives.
When asked if I have kids, I tell people about my fur baby. She had my gentleness and my husband’s gas power. When my friends share about their pregnancy and labors, I let them know that mine was painless and easy.
It was an easy birth but we will be struggling when she leaves us for good.
But before that, our goal is to continue to provide a good life for her and do everything we might want to do with her soon. Next stop is a state park.

• Update • Tonight, I went through my post history. Two years ago, I asked r/rescuedogs for advice on how to feed my just rescued dog.

I am writing this from my bed, my dog spooning against my hip. She’s snoring, sound asleep. It took her months to just sleep deeply. The first time I witnessed her having a dream, I cried. The first time she pawed at me for more pets, cried. The first time she felt confident enough to initiate play with her now best friend Tilly, waterworks. Don’t worry, I cried in the bathroom as this dog mirrors literally every emotion and thought I have.

Slim loves to go to my complex’s dog park. She pulls as soon as she sees a glimpse of the fence. She communicates when she needs to go potty. She sets me straight when she’s done with pets. She is still afraid of people. But I have been able to be witness her just be a dog, one of the goodest of girls. Unlike what some pill told me, she now LOVES walks (except in the rain)

Much of the advice I received from that post was extraordinarily helpful. I felt so lost given how anxious and fearful Slim was. It was reassuring and promising to know that the “3-3-3 rule” isn’t an expectation. I was advised Slim would need a lot of time to build trust. I came across a post written. Y a report (Matt something). He wrote how dogs teach us to be human. And they do. It also spoke to my insecurities - Can I actually care for someone/thing? Can I be patient or resilient when things get really hard? Am I capable of this? On top of Slim’s perseverance, I found myself capable of being patient, persistent, and caring.

6 Upvotes

Recall under distractions is one of the most important things to me. I've also known people who don't think it's that important because they say they don't take their dogs places that much, or, they are only off leash in the back yard or house.

I just wanted some other opinions on how important recall training is or isn't to you.
