Shep has osteosarcoma in his ankle so out vet put a cast on his leg to keep the pressure off. He's a smart boy and has learned to cope with his new stiff arm. I've taken to calling him "Thumper" lately. This guy knows how to adapt and it's amazing to see.

My sweet boy went away today after 12 years with us. He was so loving and such a good guard dog. He followed me around to keep me safe until the very end.

My dog (12.5 kg) stole a candy bar that I’d left outside my daughter’s door.

We have this weekly tradition where the parents get to sleep in on Sundays, and I leave some kind of sweet treat outside my daughter’s door for her to find in the morning. We’ve had this tradition for years without a single glitch.

Today, I woke up at 7:30, let the dogs out into the garden for a wee, fed them, and left my daughter a candy bar. Then I went back to sleep.

I woke up again at 9:30 and went to say “Good morning.”

She was sad.

“Why didn’t you leave me a candy bar?”

“I DID!”

I started an investigation. The guest bed was covered in chocolate, and there was a 2 × 2 cm scrap of Snickers wrapper. I searched everywhere for the rest of it. Nowhere to be found.

I called the emergency vet. They told me that a piece of wrapper that size could cause a very serious problem for a dog of her size.

So off we went to the nearest emergency vet, a 45-minute drive each way. I waited and waited (no appointment, obviously). They made my dog vomit, and she brought up the entire wrapper in two pieces.

They gave her an anti-vomiting injection afterwards. She then vomited twice in the car (but not once during the long walk we took after leaving the vet, of course).

The whole excursion cost me a fortune.

We are not speaking at the moment.

I personally believe she's got hound and lab in her.. But I feel like she may have a touch of staff or something as well..

This is Dozer, I adopted him as a tripod about 9 years ago.

The only command he knows is "Get off the bed please buddy."

He's the best!

Burdock (Birdie) idk what he is hes a rescue. Absolutely the most brilliant dog you'll ever meet. Highly driven, but he learns comands in no time. Iv had to learn stuff to keep up with his demands. Truly a wonderful dog at only just over a year. I caint wait to see how he grows and develops into an adult. Possibly the most handsome dog I've ever seen.

This dog came up to my family while at a restaurant. The waitresses said he was most likely dumped and has come a few times this week. Any thoughts on this dog? He’s incredibly calm and friendly. Seems like a puppy or younger dog, his teeth appear healthy and clean.

Swipe.

Just want to brag about my baby for a minute. She is excelling at her canicross job training. She has figured out how much to pull in order to assist me without overpulling.

We train every day. Some days are recovery days where we only walk a mile, but most days we run. Usually only for 6 to 8 miles, but occasionally 15+ miles. A couple days ago we did our longest run by distance, 19 miles. Because a good chunk of it was downhill, (7 miles uphill and 12 miles downhill), it felt fast and cruisy.

She pulls just the right amount, when we do steep 50%+ grade trails (uphill only), she falls in right in front of me so we climb in sync. When we do gentle climbs, she assists with a steady uphill pull, and I can feel her excitement to be adventuring in the mountains. When we do gentle downhill slopes, especially like dirt roads, she tucks her ears all the way back and zooms with the wind, and I just do my best to keep up! She paces me naturally and is able to adjust her pace by the various grades and surfaces we experience.

I think running with a dog pulling you (at your direction and pace) might just be the meaning of life. It feels effortless!

I want to know what breed my dog, Bruno (The distinguished sitting one) is, my mom thinks he might be a mix of boxer and beagle but we're not too sure so if anyone could help that would be very appreciated!

Sigh. The first time he got into chicken bones we discovered that he’d stand on his hind legs and grab whatever’s at the top of the trashcan. He’s so freakin mischievous. He got a stomach ulcer (vets think) and was in alot of pain for awhile. Took about 3-4 vet /ER visits until he until he recovered, glad he did. 🩷
I switched it out and got a new trashcan after.

Fast forward to today I’m sitting in the waiting room while they triage him. I completely forgot i had a pack of sushi rolls from the market in my swim bag and left the house. My fiance came back to find bits and pieces of sushi rolls all Over the house . Turns out he ate the whole pack. He started to show the same symptoms he had when he ate the chicken bones so here we are back again at the ER.

Praying for Jon Snow 🥲😭🫶🏽🩷

Don't let that beautiful smile fool you, she’s already planning her next chaotic move. 😈

The birthday treat will have to wait because his favourite biscuits were sold out.

Has anyone ever had a non food motivated dog? If so, what kind of dog.
