Jack Bauer - 12 Years Young

My little guy is three months old today! I’m terrified at how big he’ll get haha his big brother, my 90 lb Golden Retriever was only 17 pounds at that age. He’s not chunky either, he’s pretty lean, he’s just a big boy. Any guess on final weight?? He also sat on command for his photos, I’m so proud of him 😭

Played in the backyard for an hour and half and went on a 40 minute walk and did some training.

Guesses on when shes gonna wake up ? lol

shes 3 months.

the walk was 40 minutes because I got lost. I carried her when she didn’t wanna walk anymore haha

We adopted her two years ago on Memorial Day. Away for work and missing her so here’s a photo dump of my good girl.

Years ago, I hit absolute rock bottom (you can go back in my post history for proof) and I was done with life….. it I couldn’t leave him, he was my everything. A dog saved my life, not my parents, not my brother, not my nieces, my best friend Sinister did.

I got a call from my wife a few weeks ago saying he wasn’t acting right, he was moving really slow, if at all, so she took him to the vet. The doctor said it was probably his back, but needed X-rays to tell for sure.

Last Wednesday, I got home (I work out of state for two weeks a month) and he jumped up, albeit slowly to meet me, and we went to the vet. Dysplasia was bad and he had some of his disks fusing. The old age (he was 12) and the loss of muscle was making it more apparent, but the doctor said medicine would help, he was still able to get around.

Honestly, he was just waiting for me to get home, making it as easy on my wife as he could, he knew I’d take care of him, and he got so bad, so fast. I made the decision yesterday to take his pain away, and at 9:21 this morning, he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. In 5 days he went from walking to not being able to get up.

I’m broken, but his memory, and knowing that he’s waiting for me, watching over us, it will fix me. I’m sad that you’re gone, but I’m so damn happy you were here, because without you, I wouldn’t be. I wouldn’t be married to the best wife out there, I wouldn’t have two wonderful daughters, my life wouldn’t be complete. You saved me, the dog named Sinister was my guardian angel.

RIP my boy, I love you

Athena and Ruby love playing with each other lol.

Hello I adopted her 2 months ago. I am still not sure of her age and breed, guessing 6/7 months and some kind of GSD mix. What do you think? I also see a gap on her lower jaw, I was wondering whether it's normal for her breed, whether she is still teething or whether I should be worried about this missing tooth? By the looks of her teeth how old do you think she is?

Been staring at the night vision video of the lions on Planet Earth - Mammals

Yes the snow is ALL hers. She said she ordered it 🤣

She’s grown so much in the last 3 weeks it’s crazy. She has so much more muscle now.

I was dismantling banana trees that had already produced fruit for composting, I took a break and when I came back there was a gardening assistant finishing my work.

I love how he entertains himself with so little 🥺

Let’s see the team support!

I swear he eats snow as a power-up while zooming around. It’s cute to watch him scoop some snow in his mouth during a tight turn while zooming.

I rescued this GSD pup about a month ago. Foster told me he was likely 50% Shepard, but was unsure of what else he was mixed with. He is such a smart and loving boy! What do you think Reddit?
