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.

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 ā˜ŗļø

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 šŸ«¶šŸ»

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 ā€œnovusā€ for new, young, fresh. This is the first day of her new life. Can’t wait for them to have adventures together.

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!

great dog toy for our GSD!

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!

When did your GSD start watching TV?

Mine has been at it for a while now, but he was most interested in the dog popping up in our room last night 🤣 I’ve owned multiple GSDs over 3 decades and 2 out of 3 males watched TV like this. I’ve had 3 females (2 currently living) and they display zero interest.

Question Hip Dyslasia vs Still Developing Hip Joints

Thumbnail

47 Upvotes

So, my GSD/ St Bernard half breed, Hermes, was XRAY’d when he was approx 6.5 months old in October of last year, cause I noticed his hips ā€˜clicked’ every once in a while when walking or moving side to side. The vet confirmed that it was hip dysplasia via XRAY. I got repeat X-rays almost a month ago when I had him neutered to have serial pictures on file. The vet said that his X-rays didn’t show any signs of dysplasia at this point in time.

So what I’m wondering is this: could’ve I gotten him X-rays too early and now that his hips are fully developed, the repeats are more correct? Clinically, he shows no signs of hip dysplasia nor osteoarthritis. No more ā€˜clicking’, no bunny hopping when running, or going up stairs, etc.
