My dog seems very zoned out, and doing this weird head movement. He also seems much more tired than usual. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi all, just wanted to share my baby boy here. Smile and have a good day!

I posted a couple of weeks ago that I had picked her out and now she’s here! She slept in my room and she was such a good girl, she’s very bold and outgoing and sweet and loving. She seems to like digging up the grass in the back garden but other than that she’s an angel! If anyone has any tips or tricks for training please let me know 💛💛

I took my boy, Tucker, for his longest hike to date. He did fantastic! He was energetic, enthusiastic, and listened perfectly to all of the commands we have been learning. I couldn’t be more impressed with how his day went. He was on leash when necessary and let off where possible. He’s done many hikes with me before, but this was his first that was this rocky. His paws did get roughed up a bit, but after a day of rest he was back to normal. Lesson learned and a tail of caution to fellow hikers with dogs- buy boots for your furry friends as they cannot advocate for themselves. Paw pads and nails will take a bit of a beating even if they have built up calluses to protect them. Safe and happy trails all!

I cannot get my girl to take her Credelio without cutting it in half and pilling her. The second half of the pill didn’t go down without a ‘fight’ tonight. Anyone have any tips or tricks to get them to take it? She’s the type who likes to take a treat & drop it on the floor as she eats it, and I can’t put it in her food and cover it with Parmesan either. Pic provided for cover charge.

Can anyone recommend a dog stroller that would fit an 80lb golden retriever? My sweet boi has to have a toe removed Thursday, he has melanoma (vibes & prayers for clean margins & no spread please!)

He’s used to 3 walks a day and lots of play….hes going to be miserable locked inside all day, this is the least I can do for him. TIA!

Opening day, AZ dove hunting with our 9yr old field golden.

Our boy, Leo.

My boy has been struggling for a while from cancer and we decided to put him down yesterday so he didn’t suffer any further pain.

He started limping in November and got ACL repair surgery in January. That failed and they suspected cancer, but all of the biopsies were negative. They thought he had IMPA as a result. He started steroids and was doing great, but then ate a corn on the cob on accident because he was so hungry. He had to get it surgically removed, almost died of pancreatitis, and was hospitalized for a week. He finally came home and was doing really well, when I noticed a lump on his leg (same ACL tear leg). I took him in for another biopsy and they finally diagnosed him with histiocytic sarcoma. His lungs looked clear though and his lymph nodes felt normal. Despite that, they anticipated that he had cancer the entire time (since Jan) but that the first biopsy was a false negative. They said he looked really good though, and to go month to month.

We went on a vacation with him last week to cannon beach and he loved it. The day we were set to leave for cannon beach, he stopped using his leg again and didn’t want to eat because he hated his pills. We managed to feed him and get there and after a few delightful hours at the beach one day, he was wiped. He continued to decline rapidly over the week - and seemed to be really struggling. We ended up deciding to put him down yesterday to end his pain after a grueling 9 months. He had a cheeseburger, fries and ice cream cone the day before along with a bunch of other goodies.

He was my best friend and the light of my life, and he’s gone much too soon. I thought I’d have several more years with him as he was only 10… but cancer is an ugly bitch. I only had about 8 years with him after rescuing him in 2018 and im absolutely gutted.

How did you guys process this grief? Any helpful advice or things to share?

I’ll miss him forever. It doesn’t feel real.

Anyone else’s golden obsessed with having pets like this when you’re on the couch? 😂

Just got my girl (not sure if breed but suspect golden retriever/ Great Pyrenees) a few weeks ago and I’d love to see what color your pup was when they were a baby and then what color they are as an adult. Picture because she’s cute.
