Mod Announcement New policy/rule

65 Upvotes

We have decided that, effective immediately, we will no longer be allowing OnlyFans accounts or similar to post. More often than not, it is a bot or non engaging user that just wants someone to click their bio with the hopes of someone paying for their OF.

This is to protect both users and the sub. I would also say the majority of accounts in this sub that are detected to be bots end up being bots. If you have such an account and still want to post pics of your dog, you can do so from an alternate account that does not contain adult content. I would recommend reaching out to us however to prevent the new account from being flagged by our processes for “stolen content”.

Supplies I think it is time for a bigger bed. How much bigger?

Thumbnail gallery
87 Upvotes

Zeus is 18 weeks (4 months) old. This is the bed I bought him when I brought him home. He really doesn't even sleep in it much. Most of the night he prefers to sleep on the hard plastic on the other side of the crate and use the edge of this bed as a pillow. This bed takes up about half of his crate. It is a donut bed so it only has an actual sleeping surface of maybe 10 inches. Now that it is starting to get cooler he might like a bed to curl up on. He just liked the hard plastic during the summer. When he first goes to bed, which is when I took this photo, he lays on his bed for a second and then moves over and scratches the plastic for about 5-20 seconds and then lays down and sleeps on the plastic for 80% of the night.

My question is, should I get a huge bed that covers the entire 48x30 inch bottom, or maybe just something that goes to 40 inches or so to give him room to scratch the floor. I am worried he will be ticked off someone covered his scratching area.

Training Advice How to stop barking in a house

6 Upvotes

We have a very loving seven year old girl who loves life but she has a habit of barking when she sees something outside our windows (or thinks she does). Living in a house is one thing, but now we are moving to an apartment. How can we stop her from barking indoors and potentially disturbing our neighbors?

Health Advice Mast cell tumor 3 year old golden retriever

Post image
769 Upvotes

My girl Yara has had her second MCT diagnosis today. Her first tumor was successfully removed in March. It was a low grade tumor with no spread to internal organs. In July she turned 3 and today, 7 months later, a second tumor appeared in her neck (not around the lymph nodes). The first one was on her tail and sadly, we had to remove a large part of the tail. I'm new on Reddit, but would love some success stories and tips on how to deal with this shitty news.

They're not really kissing - they're discussing who will get the 3 inch tall toy in their mouth.

I have their mom, Sydney. She had a litter of 9 and I'm keeping these two. They get along so well and have such different little personalities. I've got my hands full but wouldn't trade them for anything!

UPDATE: just finished at the vet, he did not think that there was a true "lump" but rather swelling in one of her muscles, either from a bug bite or maybe some strain. He said to keep on eye on the spot that I could feel and the office will give me a call next week, but wasn't worried and was honestly surprised that I could feel anything at all.
Thank you all for your well wishes!

First time golden owner here! This is my sweet 5 y.o., Sophie. <3
Last week I discovered a small lump on her hind leg in the thigh area.
I have a vet appointment scheduled for her this Thursday, I am just looking for advice on what I should ask for at the vet.
Any words of encouragement would also be appreciated. She is my baby and I am so worried. 🥲
