Let's See Your Dogs!!

Daughter made a sign for my dog. Fitting, but he was having none of it.

 

There is not many a pain worse than losing your pup. I am truly sorry for your loss.

 

So sorry for your loss. RIP sweet pup. Hardest thing we as pet parents go through.

 

Here's to the good dogs. RIP buddy. Hang in there man.

 

Great looking Chocolate! I remember when my girl was young and spry. How old is yours? My chocolate is 9

 

This is our dog Lola; almost 3 year old corgi...wife wanted one so we got her. Crazy amout of energy, needs to say hi to everyone and packs a bark at only 22 lbs
Everyone thinks she’s still a puppy due to her small size
I’ve never had a dog prior to her and glad/happy to have one

 

Appreciate all the kind words from you guys. It means a lot.

 

Awesome. Probably full of endless energy. If I may give you a word of advice I wish I would have received when my chocolate was a pup..go easy on her joints until she's two. My girl is wrought with arthritis and has had major surgery on both of her back legs after two ACL blowouts. Vet told me he sees it all the time in sporting breeds. Owners letting them do too much retrieving, endless running, jumping up and down into backs of pickup trucks and other obstacles and overall too much aggressive play when they are developing. That was me exactly.

He explained to me damage to the joints occurs during this time of bone and joint growth and will most certainly result in arthritis that can cripple a dog in later life. Layla started slowing down around 6 years old and now at 9 she needs meds after a half a mile walk and is usually in some sort of pain limping and walking slow on a normal day. She also no longer chases her ball which she loved doing endlessly. My 15 year old yellow, who never had an interest in being a lab when he was young, is issue free. Whish I new then what I know now know. Just thought I'd share.

 

This is Hank, he’s a 1 yr old (?) rescue. We’re told he came from Tennessee, we adopted him this summer after being dog-less for nearly three years. It’s easy to forget how much joy (and frustration) they bring. @Mossyjaws don’t wait as long as we did...you’re not replacing a friend, just making a new one.

 

Sorry Mossy.

 

Decided to get Sydney an elevated dog bed. Money well spent...

 

Got one for my girls and they would only go on it when I made them.... Good yours likes it.

 

Exact same story here. I get her up on it and she looks like she did something wrong.

 

It's movie time but Bronx says otherwise

 

We got one for our older dog Max. Took him a few days to warm up to it but that's where he spends 90% 0f his time now.

 

Yeah, we'll keep working on this. But why use the bed when there's a couch?
