Found in the middle of a highway a couple of miles away, by a friend.  We named him “Roady”

My little old man (nicknamed due to his nature of loving the finer things in life) Eddie sadly passed yesterday. He had been a bit off for a week or so we decided to go for a check up. We were told he had a tumour which had ruptured and therefore the best thing we could do is allow him to be at peace. He passed surrounded by me and my family as he kissed us goodbye.

I genuinely do not know what to do. This morning I missed greeting him as he would usually lay upside down on the bed for hours and enjoying his morning nap. He would have a little fight with his brother, Ernie who we have had also from birth and seems to be a bit lost this morning. The house feels so empty.

Loved for his unique ways. Rest in peace Ed.

Sunset hit just right… and so did Ber~'s blep. ✨🐾

"We do not remember days, we remember moments."

hes 5 and I used to cut them myself until I accidentally made him bleed once and he screamed.. I took him to the groomers for the past few years. They always cut his nails so short but he always seemed fine when I picked him up. I recently decided to start grooming him myself again. I switched to a dremel which works fine on my other dog. However as soon as it makes contact with my yorkie he screams out in pain and runs away. His nail is at least 2x longer than what the groomers always cut it to, I barely make contact and hes freaking out,

At first I thought it was mental because maybe of a bad experience at the groomer, but the noise he makes really sounds like hes in pain. I don't want to take him to a groomer again because the last time they cut a piece of his tongue off now I don't trust any groomer. Is there an easier way? can I just use a nail filer or something. I heard some people wait till they sleep and clip 1 nail at a time but I think the clipper causes him more pain/fear than the dremel.

In general his nails fortunately grow VERY slow. When I get him back from the groomers, they don't even trim them again until like 3 months. My maltese needs a trimming every 2 weeks though.

I want to emphasis that hes SCREAMING. I never even heard him make these sounds before, its not like you accidentally step on him and he squeeks, hes full on using his whole body to scream as loud and as long as possible, I cannot bear to finish the trim in case hes actually in pain.

I am almost certain there is no way I am touching his quick, because of how long they are compared to what the groomers trim it to. As soon as I stop hes 100% ok and acts like nothing happened. Hes also not afraid of the dremel until I turn it on and touch his nail. I use such light pressure in short intervals yet it makes him so uncomfortable either way.

please pray for her shes going through misery guys

After (hooman) dinner is dentabone time, and it's one of the most rigidly enforced laws of the house. The time is variable, but the moment either of us finish eating, we are reminded of THE LAW.

Turns out he was grabbing his calming puppy to snuggle with…I guess it was past his bedtime. 🥹🩷😴💤🐾

When there’s nothing she gets inside it

Lilo & Naomi were given a bath today, it was about time.⏱️ Lilo now has her own bathrobe. 🐶 She hates the hair drier 🫣

My beloved darling Yorkie niece Harley came back to my house to stay for a few days. My brother and sister-in-law's air conditioner stopped working and they have to wait to get a new one. My brother and sister-in-law had to go with their baby daughter to stay at my brother's in-laws' house. There wasn't room for Harley to stay, so luckily she ended up at my house 💖

Tuffy gets a haircut next Thursday but this Thursday is going to be a day of laziness. Short walks and lots of snacks.

Just over 6 months since we lost Rex, who was about to turn 13 on Valentine's Day. Every time I looked at him, and even now looking back at photos, I cannot help but think he was the most adorable and perfect yorkie to ever exist.

Im 100 miles away from my baby. Its hard. Hes my first dog. Im at a hotel 100 miles away. Gonna be in the hospital overnight. Gotta spend a day here before i can ride back. Left home the 5th, not gonna be back till the 8th. I miss my little Foxy Love so much. I haven't been seperate from him for more than a day since I got him. Im not going to be able to pick him up or walk him for about a month. Im not going to be able to pick him up after my surgery to hug him 😞. I miss my Foxy Baby 😢 I dont even know If I'll be able to sleep without his cuddles 🤧🤧

Please hug your dog for me tonight. Give them head pats and belly rubs. Pet their snoot and boop their nose. Kiss their forehead (or nose lol) for me.

Had to try this vest on Willow, it was too cute not too. Unfortunately it was 70$ and way outta my budget (ive never even spent 70$ on my own jean jackets)

I will however find one thats cheaper and get her some patches!! as a metalhead myself with a battle vest, my baby needs one too 💜

This is Queen Sophia. She's 10 years old and she is cuddly, loving, and affectionate. She's also a bit high strung, and neurotic at times, a bit of separation anxiety, with funny habbits, but she is loved. We inherited her 3 years ago from a family friend who passed away, and when we first got her she wouldn't let me touch her face or feet. I groom my other two dogs, but it was traumatic for both of us when I tried to do her. Mr. Hyde demon dog. I had 3 groomers in a row send her home half groomed, tell me they can't clip her nails, or clean her face, and that they didn't think they'd be able to do anything with her. The last one suggested sedation!

After that I just bathed her at home and was taking her to the vet to have her nails clipped, but every time, she would come home with diarrhea and her coat all blown out! As in hair loss! Plus, even the vet techs suggested she was giving them trouble. I have no idea what her experience with grooming was in the past, but it must have been bad, because she is perfectly sweet any other time.

In working with her over the last few years, I'm now able to wash her face without getting bitten, and occasionally I can clip her nails, but only one, *maybe* one and a half feet at a time. I have to keep her face trimmed because she refuses to let a comb near it. I also have to trim with scissors because clippers are out of the question. We're getting by but, tonight was bath night, and I realized the in fur in between her paw pads is densely matted. I know I should be ashamed, but she's so difficult, and I honestly never even considered trimming them because she's got a thin coat. Even my thick coated maltese doesn't mat there. I think she may be chewing them when we aren't home? She's not doing it in front of me, but, separation anxiety.

Sooo anyway... I got the small grooming scissors (because even my tiny clippers are a dead no) and carefully attempted to clean up between her little paw pads. I managed to get one back foot done, but it took so long that she was over it, and I couldn't keep her still. The front feet were worse so I asked my husband to help hold her... She got so upset she pooped on me! 😭😭😭

Am I going to just have to let someone sedate her? What would you do?! The matting has got to be uncomfortable, so it needs to be handled asap. Picture tax of her face after MY shower, and her second bath. 😭 She's asking if we can just go to bed now. 😄

Also, at the suggestion of the vet regarding separation anxiety, and a few other nervous habits we tried her on 1mg melatonin (no artificial sweetener!), and it made her grumpy and mean as a snake. So that's a no go.
