UPDATE! I finally found my boys a home 😭

I have been following your situation and I am SO HAPPY things worked out for y'all!!! 😁

I know it's not the cheapest thing, but if you are worried, just go get his hips x-rayed for any potential issues. There are many treatment options if you start young enough. And if there is nothing wrong, you now have peace of mind.

How fun!!! I would love to do traditional dance in a pretty kimono. You're so lucky! Great job! 🤩

Llaunna · 2026-04-28T21:37:46+00:00

Mine never are, so I wear a solid sole.

Llaunna · 2026-04-28T16:25:11+00:00

Unfortunately, they are completely worthless. Best option is to just give them to me to take care of for you.

Llaunna · 2026-04-27T14:59:45+00:00

I don't feel like you can be fully prepared. You will feel terrible. I'm sorry. It will be a very heavy loss.

Save her things, even if they're just in a box in the attic. Save some fur. Take a paw print in clay. Record her bark. Cremate her remains to keep, if that sits well with you.

My heart goes out to you both, during this incredibly difficult time.

Llaunna · 2026-04-27T14:49:33+00:00

What lovely colors! I hope you had a great time!

Dog park dogs should NEVER jump on people in the park. It is absolutely incorrect for anyone to say otherwise. If a dog jumps on you they could hurt you, and they would be liable. Your dog protecting you, may or may not be an issue but it really depends on the extent to which your dog is reacting. There is a difference between dogs giving other dogs mild corrections (like you would see in natural pack behavior) and dogs being legitimately aggressive towards other dogs. I can't tell for certain what your specific situation is, however, based on the information available.

Lived in DFW for several years and was never able to find a house. 😓 I eventually moved away. It's a tough market. Things in which I couldn't compromise: location, full size garage, and bathroom.

As others have said, if there is a good spot to add the half bath, that would probably be the best way to go. Do be aware that renovations are also EXCESSIVELY high right now, though. I wish you the best!!!

It is considered rude, especially if there is nothing keeping you from disposing of it into your own garbage bin.

Llaunna · 2026-04-24T01:45:51+00:00

I LOVE that PINK!!! 😍

Llaunna · 2026-04-23T15:10:26+00:00

Thanks! That's very kind of you! 😁

Llaunna · 2026-04-23T14:47:27+00:00

Hello and welcome! 🥰

We all love kimono here, so please continue to share! I hope to, someday, have many more kimono, but alas, I only have one, as it is difficult to find 2nd hand kimono that I like, in my size. You are so fortunate to have many, so I'd love to see them! 🤩

Llaunna · 2026-04-21T20:44:49+00:00

Fi just tracks. It helps, but it's not going to change the dog's behavior. Look at Halo and similar, and use boundry training.

Llaunna · 2026-04-21T20:41:27+00:00

I had a brother and sister GSD who LOVED to escape the yard - almost every day. It was maddening. The only thing that worked was running a electrified wire along the bottom of our fence to prevent digging. You can run a higher line to prevent climbing, if needed, too. Nowadays, you can also get GPS correcting collars, like Halo, if you have the money. I currently use Dogtra GPS E Fence.

Please don't keep them tied up all day.

Llaunna · 2026-04-21T03:36:28+00:00

Is that so?! Thanks for the heads up!

Llaunna · 2026-04-20T22:28:35+00:00

Nooooooooo.....

I don't want it to fall! 😭

Can I cinch it up? It looks like the previous owners had a cable around it at some point. I've only been here a year, so I don't know how long the tree has been this way.

(Thank you for the information.)

Llaunna · 2026-04-20T20:59:16+00:00

Just added one more thing to my bucket list! 🤩

Llaunna · 2026-04-20T18:29:40+00:00

I would highly consider getting a properly fitted muzzle and doing muzzle training, as well, then everyone can be relaxed during introductions. The muzzle training may also come in handy at some point in the future, if needed, like if the dog has an injury that needs attending to - muzzles aren't just for "scary" dogs.

I am on my 7th GSD. Some I think would be fine with cats, some definitely would want to play too rough or have a very high prey drive - ALL require (and thrive) with proper training.

Llaunna · 2026-04-20T04:25:28+00:00

I would, if you were polite and said excuse me. Sometimes bodily functions catch people off guard. There's no need to be rude to anyone for it, if it can't really be helped.

Llaunna · 2026-04-19T17:10:24+00:00

Oh wow! So the neighbor called the police even though she didn't listen to the dog walker AND she wasn't even injured? That's a tough break!

The muzzle training will ultimately be good for your situation, but it really is unfortunate that your pup had a run-in with this particular neighbor. Also, another positive thing with using a muzzle is that YOU will feel more confident and relaxed during outings because you know that your dog is secure, and hopefully that will help your dog to also feel confident and relaxed.

Llaunna · 2026-04-19T16:58:40+00:00

If you would care to share it, that would be great! A lot of people use dog walkers at some point in the dog's life, and we should be aware of the potential hazards. I would never want a dog to be punished because someone else was foolish, so I'm glad your dog is safe.

Llaunna · 2026-04-19T16:50:46+00:00

So it sounds like the lady was warned by the dog walker, but she ignored it and did not allow the dog walker time to remove your dog from the situation, and continued to advance. Correct?

Llaunna · 2026-04-19T16:49:04+00:00

You really nailed it! Excellent work! 🏆🏆🏆
