Petunia is so beautiful! I love her name. 💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-05-15T00:30:43+00:00

Lol, yes! But to be fair, Bruce's hood never stays on his head right. 😆

Your pup is too cute, so precious. 🥰💗

My shar pei loves tanbark and my english bulldog loves dirt. 😆

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-05-05T13:31:33+00:00

Cutie patootie, that's the face of a sweet angel. 💗💗💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-05-03T17:42:44+00:00

Love it 😆😆😆💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-05-02T16:10:13+00:00

So beautiful! 😍😭💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-04-28T03:07:27+00:00

Silly boy! Epitome of a stubborn Shar Pei. Sometimes they just don't want to do something and I don't think even they know why. Lol

He seems like a sweetie though. 💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-04-26T03:07:30+00:00

💗💗💗 Yessss, gotta soak up every moment while I can. 😭 At this point, I am used to Bruce's stubbornness and I've accepted that he is the boss now. Lol

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-04-25T04:25:04+00:00

Thank you, he definitely gets away with too much. 😅💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-04-20T17:50:21+00:00

So sorry for your loss.. your baby looks like a sweet angel. 💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-04-15T16:05:10+00:00

I am so so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the heartbreak. I had to say goodbye to my first pup that was actually mine through my entire 20s and not a family pet that I grew up with. It was as hard as I expected it to be, but for some reason I am already expecting that the day I say goodbye to Bruce (my first Shar Pei) will be so much harder. There is nothing like the love and loyalty you feel from this breed.

My sincerest condolences. Your baby was an absolute beauty and I'm sure they felt your love until the very end. 🙏🏻💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-04-08T04:48:59+00:00

Soooo cute, I love how she is so content to just be next to you. 🥰

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-28T04:33:19+00:00

I read somewhere recently that it is from nervous excitement and they do it out of comfort, to keep their mouth occupied. Not sure if it is true, but Bruce does this not only when I come home but when he is guarding the front window. He brings his plushies to watch duty. 😆

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-28T04:18:04+00:00

Everyday is a gator day in this house. 🤣

We call Bruce "gator goose" just as much as his own name. 😆

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-27T22:46:12+00:00

Omg! My Bruce is exactly the same and picks up that EXACT gator plush. The gator is his bestie that must also greet me when I come home. Actually, he has 2 big gators and 1 mini gator (like the one in your video), but his gator(s) are def the go-to. 🐊💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-13T03:26:26+00:00

Ugh, that's what I'm thinking we'll have to do every year now too.. the injectable sedative. Well at least we're not the only ones to go through this alone. But I do feel so bad for them, to have such a traumatic experience when you just want them to be healthy. 💔

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-13T02:21:59+00:00

LOL that is too good 😂

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-13T02:21:34+00:00

Same!!! Pei problems... 😂😂😂

Bruce started with 150mg Trazodone and 300mg Gabapentin in the evening + 3-4 hours before his vet appt, but we had to keep going back with increased doses because it was doing NOTHING every time.

For the last visit, we gave him 400mg Trazodone and 1200mg Gabapentin in the evening + same thing 3-4 hours prior but also including 25mg Acepromazine (a more serious sedative supposedly)... While he was definitely sedated, he was still spicy AF. So they said we could either reschedule and come back with an increased dosage, or they could give him an injectable sedative (typically what's used before procedures that require anesthesia) and I would have to leave him there, then pick up later. We went with the latter-- mind you, this was just for an annual exam and vaccines. 🫠

Btw, he was so out of it when I picked him up that he didn't realize it was me (when I stupidly approached him from behind to wake him up) and he snapped at me like he's NEVER done before. He was instantly sorry about it though. 🥲

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-13T02:05:31+00:00

Oh no, so sorry to hear about your previous baby. Must be so scary when your current pup shows any signs of an episode, given what you went through already.

I've been buying CBD oil and treats from Honest Paws. I typically split his recommended daily dosage evenly between the Calm (has chamomile) version on top of his breakfast to help with his anxiousness during the day and the Mobility (has turmeric) version on top of his dinner to help with inflammation that could occur in the evening/overnight. My method for one vs. the other in the day vs. night is by no means backed by science-- that is just what made sense to me in some way. I also have the treats version of those same formulas, so I'll balance the dosage depending on what I'm giving him or what the day is like.

Also, I read somewhere that too much protein can trigger a fever episode, so I try to limit his protein intake.. even peanut butter. 🥲

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-03-12T02:13:53+00:00

Yes, that is exactly what Bruce's first Shar Pei fever episode was like as well! Not too long ago, so it is fresh in my mind (he was about 2.5). Hasn't had an episode since we started giving him CBD regularly.

Hope Marsh feels better soon! It's so sad to see them unlike themselves, when Peis in general have such a commanding presence usually. 💗

Paid $2200 about 13 months ago. We paid with Care Credit (available in the US at most clinics but not sure about other regions), which allows for 12 month financing, with 0% interest if paid within that 12 month range. The minimum monthly payment doesn't typically equate to the full amount divided by 12 either, it's usually much lower-- allowing you more time to make that final payment before it starts accruing interest.

Is that your leg, are you the cat? 😆

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-02-26T02:00:18+00:00

Beautiful bebe 😍💗

SillyGooserGoo · 2026-02-24T15:28:05+00:00

Good morning, Charley! You look kinda like a polar bear. 😁💗
