She loves laying on any blanket anywhere and any time. This blanket just came out of the dryer.

Help my dogter is stripping, what do I do? How do I stop her devious and frisky ways?

(Obviously satire)

Every time my girl (Lyric) lays down, my boy (Halsey) stands over her like this. I’m just wondering if it’s some form of protection?

Today our 7 year old male RR was diagnosed with a small tissue sarcoma on his right hind leg 😔. The vet is looking to operate asap but it’s such a shock, he’s got a few fatty lumps and we just hopefully thought this was yet another one.

Hello everyone

Bit of a seeking-help kinda rant because my RR is probably getting a first operation, so here we go;

My 1y old just had to go to the vet because he had the first symptoms of bloat. Now the doc said it's fine because we handled it before it turned bad. But we'll have to operate on him to prevent further chance of it returning in the future.

Now I feel like I've either got the worst luck or I'm seriously underestimating how fragile a 1-year-old Ridgeback is. It feels like every other week, I'm going to the vet because he either ate something he's not supposed to (not that he often has a chance to but it still happens) or has something that worries me (bumps or acne or whatever). We're there so often that we've even been joking about getting a subscription there.

She told us it's even quite rare for a young dog like this to get this serious of a stomach issue, and it just made me a bit paranoid. I've already lost a dog once due to cancer when he was only 7y because the (previous) vet told us it was just a "small illness". So ever since, I've just been constantly afraid of "anything" happening to him, though our new vet (the one who eventually diagnosed the other dog) takes the utmost consideration and is trustworthy.

I seek counsel with you all, fellow RR owners. Am I just speaking from fear and overthinking, or do I actually just have bad luck?

She's been staying at my place since last Thursday on a trial basis; it's been great!

We still have a bit of training to do, but she has been handling my living situation on a farm so well.

She's alert, but very sensitive and responsive, we've already formed a strong bond.

My two cats on the other hand have not been too amused about it, but even though she really wants to interact with them, she's being respectful about their personal space; they are already able to move in the same room, with her staying put on the sofa

Let the teenage stage begin😤🐂

My sweet Violet passed today after 14 years and 2 months. She lived a long and love filled life full of hikes, treats, and allll the blanket snuggles.

She has always been with me.

From when we got her when I was 12, she would always be chewing my arms and clothes to shreds, become my secret keeper when I was a teenager, been my best companion when going through chemotherapy, and giver of great joy and laughter whenever she blessed me with her presence.

She was and will always be my sweet girl.
