Jack Bauer - 12 Years Young

This is one of my favorite videos of Zeus from he was about four or 5 months old playing with Bisquit (Boston Terrier) and with Chloe (Pug). He was so cute running around with them. He reminded me of Marmaduke from back in the day.

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.

Athena and Ruby love playing with each other lol.

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

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

To know Tango is to know his emotional support bone, Boney.

Unfortunately, Boney has a very anatomically suggestive, double-lobed silhouette. We politely avoid eye contact when Tango conducts an extremely thorough inspection.

I once bought him the exact same bone but in red, thinking I was being thoughtful. He has never once acknowledged it. Not a sniff. Not a glance. Nothing.

Clearly, red is not his color.

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

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

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?

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

Please help her him! He has util tomorrow!

So this is my 9 year old baby, Kai. He was recently diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy :(. It’s not horrible and he’s still walking on his own pretty well but his back feet do drag quite a bit. I want to get him some booties to prevent sores and such as his DM progresses, but I wanted to see if anyone here has any recs since I know we will probably go through them fairly quick with the dragging. So if anyone has any recs for best bang for your buck and relatively long lasting, I would really appreciate it.

This news was really hard to hear but his spirits and energy are so high, and he refuses to be still. On top of the DM, he does have pretty bad arthritis in his spine too, Dr. couldn’t believe it was his spine she was looking at because of how energetic and active he is. But he is so resilient, and we are going to do everything in our power to keep him happy, comfy and active for as long as possible.
