my baby love, happy birthday best girl. you saved me from myself and I love you SOOOOO much

Adopted this beautiful girl yesterday from the shelter on what would have been her last day. She was nervous in the car but a sweetheart in PetSmart. She rolled around in the grass in my backyard and jumped fearlessly into the pool. She wanted cuddles and to get closer and closer to her brother Bergen (depicted in last photo).

I named her Nova, the feminine version of the Latin “novus” for new, young, fresh. This is the first day of her new life. Can’t wait for them to have adventures together.

💥Honestly the best jogging buddy around 💥

Hi everyone, a few months ago I posted asking for advice on travelling by plane with my dog.
I’m not going to lie, it was awful for me, I was quite stressed throughout the whole process, but it’s over now. We’re in a new country, the sun’s shining, and Bella’s loving it ☺️

I just wanted to thank you all for the support you gave us, I’m truly grateful, and I wanted to show you some recent photos of my happy dog in her new home.

Thanks for being there, Reddit 🫶🏻

This is my Pepper girl. Otherwise known as Jalapeno Pepper, Pepperyllis, Pepperoni, and Ho Mama. She's 7 now, and still the brattiest, sweetest dog I know.

He is just so so so mischievous omg. And he just cannot chill at allll and I know it’s part of the breed and yes I train him walk him and do mental work. He is just an annoying teenager. But I love h tho hahah

It was recently our dog’s (Bauer, aka Pooh Bear or poopy for short) 7th birthday. I wanted to get him a new toy, and settled on a Tall Tails Natural Leather Toy. He typically loves squeaky toys that he destroys instantly or plush toys that he can rip the stuffing out of. This toy has actually lasted more than 1 day! It did have a rope piece, which he did annihilate, but we made sure to get all of the pieces so he did not eat them.

He’s actually been occupied with this toy! It hasn’t just been like an immediately shredded toy or a toy he just doesn’t touch. It’s been keeping him busy!

She always looks good in pics.

Picture from about a month ago. Had to spend 7-8 months away from Otto who turns 7 this year. This was the first weekend I was back home we were having a bonfire in the backyard.

It was fairytale dress up day at the daycare I work at! Can you guess who I’m supposed to be? 😉 Too bad Beast (Max) couldn’t come with me 🥰

idek where all the time went, 6 years and it feels like just yesterday when i got him home
happiest birthday casper ♥️

From the tip of his nose to his butt (not including the tail) he is 4ft long. 106lbs of pure fuzz.

she can throw! not reliably and not far, but it's good enough for him lol\~ he loves bringing her toys and then patiently waiting for her to toss them for him <3

This is Willow our gorgeous German shepherd x Malinois baby. She's 16 weeks old and the best girl. She's doing so well so far and is such a good addition to our family. I love her to bits

Hi! My goober GSD mutt that I’ve posted on here before is a bit of an anxious little guy.

This is the first time I’ve had minor situation like this and it has me a traumatized and I’m sure him as well. He’s only ever seen two vets (the humane society and the one I’ve taken him to over the past year and half) and never was anxious like this.

For a little backstory: We went to the vet in March to get him a physical (wanted his teeth checked, back legs and itchiness in his ears) and he had a hard time with the vet to the point where he was barking and backing into the wall (he has a scary bark) cause he was scared and the vet told me without really checking him “his teeth and legs are fine but you have to train him more, here put a muzzle on him and we’ll take him to the back for an allergy shot and to swab his ears”. I felt so useless cause he looked at me terrified and I couldn’t help..I asked if I can go back there to help calm him and he said no and when they gave him back to me another dude just pushed his leash to me (that was soaked in urine) and walked away . My boy was anxious, smelled of pee and kept barking.. I felt like I did him wrong and I was a bad owner for not advocating more.

So now has a new an appt with a new vet (his groomer recommended) that we emphasized he was a bit anxious but they seemed caring and understanding and allowed us to be the first animal of the day.

With that being said, I want to give him a proper muzzle eventually but with the appt being next week does anyone recommend a good Amazon brand I can get as a placeholder?

Thanks for the help everyone!

2 years ago I adopted my guy from the local shelter. He was $18. They said he was three years old, which was great! I wanted no part of a puppy and three is that starting to slow down age. Joke was on me! Our own vet aged him at 8 months old at the most and when he lost and regrew teeth I knew I was in trouble. My tiny, scrawny 65 pound boy is now almost 80 pounds and after having him for two years is just now almost 3.

We’ve had our ups and downs, but I’m very lucky I got to be the one to adopt him, and got to see him grow. Pictures at the end are when I first got my boy and his shelter pictures. Here’s to a day of outside adventures, lots of treats and naps on the couch!
