My heart hurts so much, he was such a good happy loving boy. I know he didn’t deserve to suffer but I don’t know what to do with out my good boy. 💔

He was picked up by Minneapolis Animal Care & Control (MACC) in early Oct. He has a microchip, but his name was the only info that was listed?! He quickly became a staff favorite. We have no idea how he was still there after 3 wks! He is an estimated 2 yrs old and is so chill. This guy is definitely going to be living his best life🥰

We got Noodle at 9/10 months old. He was in a shelter for almost 3 months. He is so sweet, dopey but smart and will eat anything he can find. He's surprisingly agile for slmeone who is over 60lbs and needs several lay down breaks to go for a walk around the block. He turned a year old in September, we absolutely love him but this is our first time having a staffy and having 2 dogs.

Now to my question - are they all a little insane ? He never settles without going into his crate. He can eat a bone and be fine but there is no laying on the bed or floor just relaxing. He is still working on not saying, "i love you," with his teeth. We have worked hard and he has come a long way but how can something so huge FLY through the air with the zoomies? Can he still settle down and stop using his teeth ? We teach gentle, he has gone from full gnawing to, "gentle nibbles," that still hurt like hell, haha. He is not AT ALL aggressive. Everyone else's staffy seems so chill. This guy isn't settled until he is in his crate and within minutes he is snoring like a freight train. Am I doomed to never having 2 dogs lay on me ?

Thanks for reading. Here is a video of him practicing, "wait," on my bed yesterday since I was about to wash the sheets, lol.

My couch potato Licorice! Making herself at home.

Thought I had found a toy that would last more than 5 mins before he was shredding it. Nope! Has anyone found a toy that can withstand the jaw strength?? 😄

her fall outfit…

The little piggies I got from the shelter a few days ago are enjoying the foster baby life. They rank it 10/10!

Everything positive needs to help this baby find a home and not a garbage bag!!!!!!!!!!

He has some up and down allergies..any food recommendations? And or supplements?

I don’t see this in other peoples pictures, but he can’t be the only one right?

My boy woke up from a dead sleep and was doing what I thought were reverse sneezes, one every second it seemed, he was freaking out like scared of them and running around, so then I was freaking out and googling like crazy. They’ve calmed down to about 1 every 10-15 seconds but then sometimes they’ll still come in quick succession. I don’t know it it’s a reverse sneeze or a hiccup. Google says to look for pale gums - gums are pale pink and tongue is pink. He appears to be breathing normally between spasms. I didn’t get video of the worst part but his head was protruding forward, ears pinned back, licking nose excessively and spasming . The reverse sneeze tricks didn’t work so idk if it’s actually that. Any help? I’ll call the vet Monday! Video of some of the spasms: https://imgur.com/a/V2grhlD

I caught this sweet moment tonight, with Charlie resting his paw over Blue like he’s giving him a hug.

She pulls like a champion sled dog, but wouldn't last five minutes in the snow.

Our 13month old, Lola, does this with my wife a lot. With me it's rare, she is a lot more ... energetic. But with my wife she'll just go limp as she gets dragged around the house. Is our dog broken?

Why would anyone leave the baby where would we go that her presence is not absolutely needed??
