I'm picking my guy up this weekend and this subreddit is freaking me out. Every single post is about the OP crying "every day for weeks straight", being trapped inside their house, and their life fundamentally changing for the worse.

Anyone here NOT go through all that?

Hi all,

I recently got a Woof Pupsicle for Christmas. My dog, who is an 8 year old Black Mouth Cur mix absolutely loves it.

He seems much more calm at night as well, he is a huge licker of everything but he hasn’t been doing that as much since trying the Pupsicle. He has a sensitive stomach, so I’ve just been mixing his food with water and freezing that.

Is this something that he can have everyday?

So 2 years ago my dog injured a leg and was babied. After a while he started switching legs he was limping and would run when I wasn’t looking. Realized he was faking it, milking the love. It lasted a 2-3 days of faking it before he quit.

My dog just recently injured a back leg running thru the house. Was babied by me and the kids. He had one day no limping. The next day limping on a different leg (the front now,) and the following day he was limping on both the front and back just hopping around.

It’s winter here with deep snow, he hops mostly but stops and looks at me for a while before using all 4 legs in the deep parts. It’s been about 4 days since he I believe he started faking it. 4 days is a little long IMO to be faking it. No visible injuries and no discomfort when I message the “injured” legs. A little whine when I wobble his front wrist sometimes.

Going to call VET in AM but wondering y’all thoughts

My dog Carl has recently started doing a rag doll roll right into a fresh steamy pile of poop he finds. It’s very similar to how a cat acts when it gets a good whiff of catnip.

Sometimes I can catch him and stop him before it happens but sometimes he goes out into the yard for a good poop dive and roll then prances in for a snuggle 🤮🤢.

What causes this and how to stop it?

I brought home a 6 year old standard poodle today and she’s been lovely. Very chill, very happy just a dream dog

My only concern is despite eating and drinking normally she hasn’t gone potty since bringing her home (around ten hours ago) I took her for one long walk and around 8 potty outings but nothing

This has never happened before with dogs I’ve rescued so I’m quite confused

Hey everyone, just wondering if somebody knows what’s going on with my yorkie pup.

At least 3 times today I’ve picked him up and his undercarriage has been super wet and his tail is very wet.

I just went to pick him up off the couch and a part of the blanket is very wet. It’s clear, doesn’t smell like urine, and he himself doesn’t smell like pee at all.

This is very unusual, haven’t seen it before. He has been his happy playful little self all day but I’m worrying a bit because you look online and a catalogue of awful things come up.

Any ideas?

My dog is one of those breeds with little hair and thin skin, built for speed, not warmth. My house gets down to 50 at night and she gets cold. I bought her an electric dog blanket but it’s smelled twice now like electrical burning so I’m returning it. What’re some alternatives? Do I just need to buy a better brand? The current one is from Amazon

hey all!! currently rehoming my 2yo husky, I'm using Seattle Humane Home-to-Home service – but wondering if there's any other days I can possibly re-home him or if there's resources that are specific for rehoming high energy dogs?

If anyone has advice (especially geared to the Kitsap/Mason area) I'd be super grateful. I don't want to put him in a shelter, I really want to meet the future owners of him and make sure they can care for him properly! Thanks all in advance. 🙂

Hello all! I have come to the conclusion that I would like to find a Boston terrier to join my family. This would be the first time I have personally owned a dog as an adult and as I started researching I have become slightly overwhelmed. I have always owned farm dogs, from backyard breeders, and they were always very healthy and lived very full long lives. However through my adult research I have learned that backyard breeders are hugely frowned upon and considered unethical. So I have been doing my research into responsible dog ownership and am trying to find a reputable breeder. I live in North Carolina and many of the breeders I found through BostonTerrierClubOfAmerica are inactive, or no longer exist. I stumbled upon a local breeder that has CKC registered puppies and appears to breed infrequently. Although I’m not sure how the various breeder registrations exactly work. The name of the kennel was sort of a red flag, weaponxkennels, but they have their dogs on lots of land and appear to primarily breed akitas for livestock defense or gaurd dogs from what I could find. I would love any kind of feedback or recommendations.

I would love to feed off of some creative minds for ideas for my upcoming, very specific, breed reveal!

Backstory: I recently rescued a dog, a big dog, lovingly renamed Midas (as in king), and lovingly referred to as the horse. I've sent off for his DNA test, and while he was listed as a 'labrador retriever mix' at the shelter, my siblings and I are impatiently awaiting the true results (there has to be some percentage of horse in that mix.)

I would love to make his breed reveal fun and special — and HORSE themed if possible!

I'm floating two ideas right now, but again would love to see if anyone else has anything fun they can think of!

First idea: Kentucky Derby themed breed reveal. Big hats. Derby food and drinks. This would require major patience on my part, since I am expecting his results within the next two weeks and we would need to wait until the first weekend in May for the reveal. But it would be super fun!

Second idea: Normal reveal, but every "breed" I reveal is actually a type of horse (followed by the true breed reveal). This is a lower commitment idea and wouldnt take as much planning, less immersive if you will. But still funny!

Anyway, if anyone has a fun idea or a good pun to throw on a poster or really any idea at all, I'd love to hear it! And if you have read this whole post, thanks for stickin' around. 😅
