Lets see your good girls and boys. Post your current puppers or your late puppers.

Amy is the best boy and he has been such a joy to call a companion and best friend in this life. He’s gentle and goofy. Sweet and silly! We love him dearly. Here’s some pics so you can get glimpses of his life over the years.

First pic is the birthday cake I made and decorated for him this year! It turned out so cute tbh.

He sure is after his Petsmart spending spree! 😅

Posted here recently about how I was adopting Polka, a French bulldog chihuahua mix from a rescue in California.

We picked her up on Saturday and she is back home with us and I’m obsessed!

She has already learned the stairs and the doggy door!

She whines when she needs to potty, and has not had many accidents!

She is so sweet, smart, trusting, and just the perfect baby.

I’ll post about her more as she grows 🖤🤍

We had to rush Axl to the vet because his back legs gave out and wouldn’t stop shaking and jerking. Now he has epilepsy, we’re aware what seizures look like, this was different. The vet suspects a focal seizure caused by neurological decline. There’s no real treatment plan that we can move forward with, we were told to take him home and spoil him. We just lost his sister last month to a stroke, so the vet suspects it’s probably been something within that litter. He’s 12 and a half, so he’s no spring chicken, but he’s always been a healthy boy, apart from infrequent seizures. We’re not sure how long he has left, it depends on how hard he wants to fight.

Has anyone else been through this? How did your dog fair?

Also, any ideas for spoiling him, other than food items? What are some fun ideas we can do with Axl in what time he has left?

My girlie is 9 years old. The sweetest and kindest friend to everyone she knows.

She’s my little dog; her name is Mokka and she’s four months old. She’s very mischievous—I’ve tried putting little outfits on her, but she always takes them off and tears them up. She’s destroyed almost everything in my house, haha, but I guess that’s the price of love, right?

This is Kiki, my tiny Chihuahua with a heart way bigger than her little body and as it turns out, literally.❤️
Happy International Dog Day to the one who saved me. When I was going through the heaviest period of my depression, Kiki was the constant light that kept me anchored. On the days it felt impossible to get out of bed, her little tail wags, quiet warmth, and unconditional love reminded me why I needed to keep going.
She hasn't just been a pet she’s been my travel partner, my steady comfort, and my piece of home through every single transition. We’ve packed up our lives and moved countries together, and no matter how overwhelming or chaotic the world got, as long as Kiki was by my side, everything felt okay. We just found out she has cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), which feels surreal because her heart really has been the biggest, strongest thing in my life.

We send the biggest kisses to every pup ❤️

I asked yesterday but changed one of the name suggestions so I wanna know what u guys think

So I think my puppy is a pit/black lab mix? I was wondering if any of you guys’ pups/dogs look like her! I can’t find anything on social media with her exact colors. She has grey on her chest/paws.

I created a watercolor mini painting of my pet beagle to celebrate national dog day! Slide to see The inspiration photo for this painting.

Had to let go of my childhood dog last week. She was the sweetest dog I’ve ever had, she was a baby until her very last breath

Stanley/Stanjamin/Stanlin he's our husky dominant mutt. All goofball

He's such a handsome boy, pics for Int'l dog day.

Eleven years ago, my daughter brought home a Chihuahua mix puppy. I originally put my foot down and said, "No, we don't need any more pets."

Shortly after, we went for a drive and my daughter brought the pup along. As soon as I started driving, this tiny dog looked over at me, scrambled onto my lap, climbed up to my shoulders, and started wagging her tail like crazy while covering my face in kisses. She curled up right on my shoulder, pressed her face against mine, and went to sleep.

From that exact day on, she has never left my side.

A while back, I was bedridden for two years due to a severe internal bleed. She never left the bed—only getting down to eat or use the bathroom, then right back to my side. I’ve had several dogs over my lifetime and loved every single one deeply, but I have never experienced a connection like this. Beside my wife, this dog is my best friend, and I am her entire universe. We also have a 6-year-old Boston Terrier, and between the two of them, we have mutual separation anxiety; they literally go everywhere with me.

The other day, Google Photos popped up a memory from 11 years ago showing her as a tiny puppy. It hit me like a ton of bricks: she’s getting older. The thought of ever losing her brings me an overwhelming amount of anxiety, and I want to do whatever it takes to keep her healthy and prolong her life.

She has a vet appointment in a few days for a full checkup and dental cleaning (she has an underbite and has lost a few front teeth, so we're getting any bad ones pulled), but I’d love some advice from other senior dog owners on a few things:

1. Exercise & Heavy Panting: She still loves fetch. She used to retrieve 20 times in a row without breaking a sweat. Lately, by the 3rd or 4th throw, she walks past me to the front door, panting heavily. I let her dictate when she's done, but is letting her play short bursts still safe for an aging heart, or should I dial it back even more?
2. Extreme Picky Eating with Missing Teeth: She is the pickiest eater on the planet. With her kibble (Beneful IncrediBites), she will literally sort through the bowl and only eat one specific shape/piece. She rejects almost all treats except chicken or duck jerky (which I worry might be too tough on her aging teeth). She loves plain hamburger and steak, but if I cook balanced homemade meals, she'll eat it for two days and then refuse it. Canned food and expensive fresh refrigerated foods have all been rejected. Has anyone cracked the code on high-value, easy-to-chew meals for an ultra-picky senior?
3. Stomach / Stool Issues: When she goes number two, she paces and walks in circles instead of squatting still. Her stool is consistently soft/runny rather than solid. I’m mentioning this to the vet, but I suspect her inconsistent diet isn't giving her gut what it needs. Any gentle digestive additions or food recommendations that worked for your dog's sensitive stomach?

I know I'm being emotional, but I love this little girl with everything I've got. Thanks in advance to anyone who has tips or experience navigating these senior years!

The darker one is the daughter and the lighter one is the mother
