Brought home Biscuit last week and honestly the puppy tax is real. She's adorable but my ankles look like i went through a rosebush. She just latches on and won't let go, even when i say "no" or try...
When we adopted Biscuit (3-year-old golden mix) from the shelter six weeks ago he had zero concept of a crate being a safe space. First night he cried for four straight hours and I sat on the floor...
I knew huskies were energetic when I got Luna but I genuinely did not prepare for this level of leash pulling. She's 5 months old, about 35 lbs already, and walks like she's trying to win the Iditarod...
Spent like 6 months treating Ranger for fleas that he didn't even have. Multiple flea treatments, vet visits, the whole thing. I felt so dumb when i finally figured it out.My vet suggested trying an...
I switched my 5-year-old lab mix to a raw diet back in October and figured I'd share a real update since there's a lot of hype and fear around it and I couldn't find much that was just honest and...
I worked from home for about two years and during that time my 3-year-old border collie mix Della was totally fine. Never a peep, just slept near my desk all day. Last month I started a new job that's...
My 18 month old lab Tucker is... a lot. He's not aggressive or mean at all, he's just completely convinced that the rules don't apply to him. Sits when there's a treat in my hand. Otherwise? Good...
When we adopted Biscuit from the shelter last October, the staff warned us he had "a few behavioral quirks." That was definitely an understatement. The dog shook constantly, barked at literally...
My lab-mix Chester is 14. For most of his life I fed him whatever mid-range kibble was on sale at the grocery store. Not proud of it but that was reality. About two months ago my vet said his kidney...
My 3-year-old mixed breed Rosie has been doing this thing for the past week where she scratches her face constantly and rubs her muzzle along the couch, carpet, basically any surface she can find. Her...
We brought home Ziggy on Saturday and I love him so much but honestly I did not fully prepare for the night crying. He sleeps in a crate next to our bed and he's doing okay during the day but at night...
So I noticed a red patchy area on Maple's belly this morning when I was scratching her. She's a 3 year old golden. No crustiness, doesn't seem to bother her when I touch it, but she's been licking at...
I'll be honest. When my friend suggested i look at senior dogs at the shelter, i said "maybe" and meant "definitely not." i wanted the full experience. Puppy energy, watching them grow up, all of...
Luna is 2 years old and has been reactive to bikes since she was about 8 months. At first it was manageable - just a bark and a lunge, i could redirect her. In the last 3 months it's gotten...
Ok so nobody told me that when corgis blow their puppy coat it looks like a small sheep exploded in your living room. Biscuit is 6 months old and over the past two weeks our entire apartment has...
I want to preface this by saying I was skeptical. Like deeply skeptical. My corgi Pretzel had been on a mid-range kibble for four years and I thought she was fine. Slightly itchy, kinda smelly,...
So we brought home our lab puppy Biscuit about three weeks ago and honestly life is chaos in the best way. He's adorable but this week he discovered the mulch in our front garden and I literally...
I want to share this because when I was in the thick of it i was reading posts like this desperately looking for hope, so here's mine. Luna is a 3 year old rescue mix we adopted last spring. The first...
We adopted Duke in September from a county shelter. He was listed as a 3-year-old pit mix, had been there 8 months, and his photos made him look terrified. My husband thought i was crazy. I filled out...
Okay so Maple has been perfectly fine all summer. She's 8 years old, female golden, and we do a 45 minute walk every morning through the neighborhood. Yesterday she seemed a little stiff getting up...
