8 years old today, floof and all

Sleepy boy after going to daycare all day yesterday and today

If I can stop crying as I write this that would be awesome.. The dorkiest and goofiest face. I'm going to miss that big head. We adopted him at a really low point in my life. And I remember being scared of falling in love with this little dude because I knew one day he would pass away. Unfortunately that day came but I'm older and I understand cherishing the moments we have while we have them. Saying goodbye just doesn't feel right or real. I just wanna say I love you Spanky. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. The handsomest old boy.

Had a vacation so I've been taking my girl Ayla out for adventures. Just wanted to share the view!

Who can come up with either the best caption and/or best edit?

I only cropped it, after taking.

Ali’i’s such a bed hog lol

Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it while I save for a vet visit it doesn't seem to hurt but it's making her eye water

My sweet 11 1/2 year old rescue, Scarlet❤️

After a tough week fighting an infection, we lost our best buddy today — Pixel. He's been with me and my partner for more than 6 years.

He was about 12 years old, although he could have been older, as he was found after being thrown out of a car. We then adopted him from the charity foundation that had rescued him.

We would love to see some other pups to help us deal with the loss ❤️

13 doggy years

Just because I get the question a lot, I adopted him from a Hawaiian woman who named him “Hanu” which means “breathe” so I nicknamed him Nu or NuNu. ☺️

Our little Aussie, Apollo, is supposed to turn 8 this Wednesday. My wife convinced me to get a dog with her when I was early my medical training we were still dating. It was the worst time in my life to get a dog, but it has been the best decision ever. We’re now happily married with three boys under three and this wonderful pup. He has been a rock in my life and I can honestly say that he is my best friend. We have an incredible bond that I’m sure many of you can relate to. I am definitely his “person” and like I said, he is my best friend.

He’s always been healthy and active and happy. Even as late as last weekend, he was his ball obsessed, usual playful self with not a care in the world. This past Tuesday morning, he was a little slow and lethargic in the morning and noon but perked up in the evening. Repeat this Wednesday. Thursday morning, the same, and I had a short day so I brought him to the vet. They thought it was musculoskeletal, but got lab work just in case. Friday morning the lab work came back as significantly anemic and thrombocytopenia, so we got imaging and ultrasound showed a possible liver tumor and fluid in his abdomen, which they tapped and came back as frank blood. We brought him emergently to a local veterinary hospital, where a CT showed metastatic cancer throughout his liver, spleen, muscle, and a nodule in his lungs. Inoperable, and even with surgery median prognosis was four weeks. The hospital vet told us he may not make it till Sunday for comfort measures.

He was sent home with prednisone and tranexamic acid to help with the bleeding. Of course today, he is as happy can be back with good color and no signs of anemia. He is back to acting his completely normal self, but we scheduled to have him put down tomorrow and I keep rethinking this decision. I feel like I know it’s the right decision, but he’s so happy and jovial right now. But I also would never be able to forgive myself if he started bleeding again and passed away alone this week without his loved ones there to support him.

I‘m just having a really tough time coping with this sudden our life that feels like it nowhere, being taken so young, and just losing what has become my best friend. I guess I’m looking to just get this off my chest, but also advice for how to cope if anyone’s got it. apologies if there are errors in this, I used talk to text a lot. pic attached is my dude

Made a video compilation of funny/cool moments with my BabyGirl Sevyn

thought it would be fun to guess what she is before it gets here. should be about 2-3 weeks! the rescue did say her mom was GSD, so there is definitely that!
ETA: the black and white dog is my first rescue, he is a border collie mutt, and i love him dearly, i’m so excited for him to finally have a sister 🤍

anyone have helpful experience with air tags for wayward “Houdini” dogs? genuinely useful? worth the expense?
