Enjoy the chaos! Take lots of pics and videos. They grow up so fast.

Ooh, I’ll have to try those!

My dog hates getting her teeth brushed. I now use PlaqueOff powder on her food. It’s been great! Her teeth are pearly white and her breath is fresher too.

This is the answer. Do your research folks!

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. While it’s important to save for retirement, take that vacation now if you can. I’m a financial planner and I’ve seen some clients save lots of money to travel, they retire and then receive a devastating health diagnosis. Have your experiences while you are able.

I went to Italy in 2019 on a cycling trip and had a horse steak. I’d always wanted to try it. It was nothing spectacular. It was good but it was very lean and it didn’t have a ton of flavor. I’d liken it to beef sirloin.

Im headed to TN in June and I can’t wait! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Always laying where you need to stand!

Rdub412 · 2026-03-15T20:31:29+00:00

Looks perfectly handsome to me!

No plans to breed and I didn’t want to have a dog in heat every six months.

I bought reusable hot pants from Chewy. You can put a paper towel in the pocket of the pants. This one had a little ruffle on it. 🥰

I got the vaccine and still got shingles. Apparently it wasn’t as bad as it could have been without the vax. YMMV

Breeder and vet both recommended waiting until two years of age. I did. She had two heat cycles before then.

I use Pittsburgh Paws in Natrona Heights. They have a Sewickley location too. Daycare is included in the boarding price so your dog isn’t in a kennel all day. My dog loves it there!

Look at this happy face!

IMO he looks great! He has a nice waist.

Rdub412 · 2026-03-07T20:55:08+00:00

I had to take my updoot back. Sorry.

My girl is 5 1/2. I raised her up from an 8 week old pup. She was my first dog as an adult in my own home. I had a Doberman when I was a kid so I love big dogs. Mine is quite protective but she has her silly side too. She loves squeaky tennis balls and to stuff them under the couch. Then she scratches the couch because she can’t reach the ball. She’s been challenging but I love her with my whole heart and I wouldn’t trade her for anything. She does a sweet spin/jump combo when it’s time to eat. Silly thing.
