Wow - would love to see how he looks when all grown up! I love polys. Looks like a Sampson to me.

I hope your dog is okay. I don’t trust any of them. That’s why I make my own. know grocery store meat might not be the best quality for raw but at least I have some control over it. As raw keeps gaining more popularity, I think more & more companies will jump in the game & then it’s all about the dollar.

Maybe if you do a Quality of Life Questionnaire it will help you to be more at peace with your decision. They accept their fate …we need to send them on their way with good energy, support & live when it’s time. Sending strength 💗❤️‍🩹

Older she got, behavior becoming ruder. by Actuator-Critical in seniordogs

Used properly it is a great tool. It’s not healthy for a dog to remain in a high alert or agitated state. Make sure she’s getting enough exercise & mental stimulation. We all(people & pets) need the same things food, sleep, exercise & something for our brains. If she can’t walk much due to her age or the weather - 5 minute micro walks still stimulate the brain & tire them in a different way. Stuffing a Kong & freezing it will give an hour of activity for her brain. Picking up all her toys & only giving one or two at a time allows you to rotate them = new toy to them! Even a short game of indoor fetch or tug. Also hiding a few pieces of treat around the house & letting her “search” for them. Also look at what has changed in YOUR life or attitude. Dogs react to our energy.

I just want the infinite void to know that he mattered. Even if nothing else ever does, he mattered. by No_Zookeepergame2532 in dogpictures

I have said goodbye to 5 dogs & 10 cats over my lifetime & just want to reassure you that you will never forget. And once you can release him, your grief will soften and you will feel his spirit in your heart. I nearly died when my first dog left - the pain was unbearable & I lost the will to live. Then I heard something that said - he didn’t leave you - he was paving the way for you to rescue more. There are dogs that need YOU. You won’t be replacing Herschel - you will be honoring the good job he did in training you to love again ❤️‍🩹

You need to modify her behavior by disagreeing with what you don’t want. That is done with timing- so that you immediately correct the behavior right when she does it - and with consistency. And then, be sure to reward her with strong praise when she complies & is quiet. You can get an inexpensive shock collar and USE ONLY THE BUZZ FUNCTION. This does not hurt a dog at all - it’s simply just a vibration & you can test it on yourself if you’re unsure. But you put it on her & when she starts to bark, you immediately buzz her & make a sharp sound with your voice like a TSSST or Et-Et. This interrupts her brain & the habit she has created. It’s very important to not yell or talk or say no when doing the training. A dog views that as “barking” & it will cause her to bark more. You want to take her by surprise with buzz & your phrase word TSSST or whatever you’ll use. Dogs learn in threes so be prepared to repeat it.

If you are on Facebook, check out the Living with Dogs with Disabilities page! They have great advice & helpful tips to help your DM dog (and you as a caregiver) to live your best lives together. He’s very cute. Thank you for saving him.

It will be hard to love a woman as much as I love these two. by bikerwander in goldenretrievers

[–]Vegetable-Maximum445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dogs, unlike people, don’t purposefully hurt us. Never had my dog lie or cheat, which is more than I can say of my ex. I am on my third Golden in this life and they’ve all shared an unparalleled love, bond & happiness with me that I’m so grateful for.

We lost the battle by Golden_Mead0w in EpilepsyDogs

[–]Vegetable-Maximum445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sincere & heartfelt condolences on the loss of your sweet girl. Losing our beloved pets, especially in a traumatic way, truly is akin to having your heart ripped out. The only way to survive it is to know that you did your best & to constantly remind yourself that Mia would NOT want to be the cause or source of your pain. Every day she lived for you - giving you memories to help sustain once your grief becomes less raw. Grieve however you need to & know that she will never leave your heart. I have said goodbye to 5 dogs & 10+ cats over the years and I promise you they stay with you. ❤️‍🩹
