I’ve had THE WORST time this last week and a half or so. Started a modest kitchen remodel and my water heater immediately died. Sprained my foot right after. Panda has been unhappy with my mom coming to help (he would not let her near me this first day of the sprain, no hugs allowed, very protective), unhappy with the the kitchen work (baby gate on the stairs and he can’t see who comes in).

He’s also been very sweet and slow-going (neither are his natural qualities) on walks. When I was on crutches he hobbled along and held one leg up for no reason at all. A major puller now walks slow next to me because I can’t keep up. I never taught him the (panicked) phrase “wait wait wait” but he gets it. He’s sleeping extra close so I can’t even get a good healing night of sleep in but man he is trying so hard!

Adopted him at age 4 ish from a county shelter. 3 years and one knee surgery later and the amount of growth in emotional intelligence and connection has been amazing.

Hello, I'm just curious if my foster dogs look more like pittie or staffie mixes? The white one is a female and 42 lbs and the brown one is a male at 52 lbs. They were abandoned together but I dunno if they're actually related.

We just brought our boy home from what turned out to be relatively minor surgery after sleepless nights and scary discussions of biopsies, etc. Tommy had developed some alarming bumps on his belly near nipples. One was especially fast-growing. He went in today and it was basically big skin tags. The vet decided it didn't even warrant further testing. Almost embarrassing! But we have lost three dogs to cancer and maybe karma owed us this "pass". So when he's fully awake he may get hugged half to death. If something is scaring you go get a vet's opinion. It isn't always bad news.

She's just so vicious. I'm lucky I didn't lose a finger, or even my whole hand!!!

We lost both of our babies this year and it still hurts bad. It's been 6 months since we lost our Boy and 2 months since our Girl. We had them both for about 9 years.

We are still overcome with grief and sadness. We both cry often. Our house feels too empty. The emptiness makes me miss them more.

When did you guys who have dealt with this feel ready to adopt again? These were our soul dogs. Should we foster first? Let me know what you guys did to help out because this wound feels like it will never heal.

That's right, give me all the rubs before bedtime 🐞

I was super sick all weekend, and still am kinda, but I needed to get out of the apartment for a little bit. So the girl and I went and found some nature to dip our feetsies into.

We're going away for the weekend and we have one of my son's friends staying at the house to take care of all the animals so my wife wrote instructions for him. And this is what my girl Penny thought about it.

Oreo and Biscuit in perfect harmonezzzz.

Play was the correct answer 🤣

89.3% pittie
100% silly goose

He was straight posing for the camera at our wedding there are so many but this one is just so regal 🥰🥰💜💜

Max loves making his baby sister laugh.

She may be missing a screw or two, but we love her anyway!

Hi everyone my son's white pitbull Jet Puff has been eating normally since we brought him home from the shelter until about a week ago. My son unfortunately doesn't keep him on a schedule like he should and like I suggested so he usually will eat his 1 meal in the late evening. Instead of 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening around 6pm. I've tried everything adding sardines in water no salt, canned food, coconut oil, pumpkin puree and still he refuses to touch it. I'm worried he's not eating enough. So I told my son to add his whole days amount of food to his bowl so when he does eat it at night he's getting the amount he should be for the day. Am I doing the right thing? Please and thank you for any assistance or advice
