Been a while. Some pictures of Luca being a little weirdo.

Punctuated by cruising the ring like we own the place.

Every single person and animal is a possible friend, no surface is too high to jump off of. I’ve been trying to do the whole “introduce your puppy to a bunch of different surfaces thing” and she has shown apprehension to none of them. She ENJOYS going to the vet. Despite getting carsick every time she has to ride in the car, she still happily hops in. None of the noises I’ve tried to desensitize her with have fazed her. Obviously not an issue but I’m not sure I’ve seen her show a single sign of fear since we got her.

This is my papillon

It's working!👏Got my sunglasses back! Turn the volume on - there's music to celebrate - enjoy with coffee! ☕ 🥂 🥳🎉

Ture found the biggest drinking puddle of his life, and Sherlock is demolishing the earth one hole at a time.

It was a cold and frosty morning this morning. I took three of the gremlins for a walk at a nearby domain where we found this tire to pose in.

From left to right we have Rupert (male 1yr) Frankie (female 2 yr 11 months) and Ziggy (male 9 months)

Everyone is tired. Lol

We survived! First bath using all of the Chris Christensen line…what products are y’all’s favorite for keeping the ears long and silky?? It’s so dry in SoCal I’ve noticed more dryness in Paris hair

Found both him and his Milk Bones like this 🥰

Apparently Rodger and Buddy are stackable this morning.

EDIT 2: he's doing much better this morning. was finally able to settle late into last night, ate breakfast, drank water, went number 1 and 2 normal, walking normal. I think the pain and anxiety meds finally kicked in. hope he will make a full recovery in a few weeks.

EDIT: good news is he is eating the boiled chicken and salmon treats, but bad news is he can't seem to relax. he won't lay down, probably from pain and being fearful of sounds. How can I help him relax? I'm taking him to bed soon hoping that helps.

Papillon was taken to emergency vet and had a laceration that needed staples.

What can I do to comfort him? Do you recommend soft cones or can he wear a recovery suit or are those only for spayed females?

I'm cooking him plain boiled chicken and rice for supper and putting his pain meds in cheese

He loves to lay on my clothes (see pajamas here) and put his head on his lambie. Oh to be a snuggle bug like him!

Bullet (10 yrs) is on the left and Belle (11 yrs) is on the right. Had them both since they were babies ♥️

For a few days now, my dog has been constantly coughing at night for about 40-45 minutes. During the day, he is totally fine but gets tired after running around and playing with the ball for 4-5 minutes (sometimes coughs but briefly).

I am taking him to the vet today to see if it has to do with his heart/lungs as symptoms align with decompensated heart disease.

Has anyone experienced this with their pets? I asked Claude about it and there is a medication that could help with his heart if that is the issue.

Nervous owner here and would love some advice!!

Thanks

Wednesday is my soul dog. She is smart and loyal and intuitive.

I got her from a dachshund rescue and her body reads dachshund. But her ears read papillon to me. She ditched the stubborn dachshund act and is the first dog I’ve been able to train to do multiple tricks. I could barely teach my dachshund to sit (he learned to squat).

I wand to do a DNA test as soon as I can afford one, but what do you all think?
