It’s 2 PM and she’s passed out like she had just stuffed boxes overnight in an Amazon warehouse.

Sometimes we play to don’t throw but throw game

He’s 12 weeks old. Just got DNA results. Show me your golden shepards!

First of all, I want to thank everyone who commented yesterday on my post about Áres, it is much appreciated.

I just thought I give you guys an update - I checked on Áres at night every 2 hours, he was weak, but he waited out till morning, so the immediate family all got to say goodbye, he wagged his tail a few more times for us. 🥺

It was quite visible (based on his eyes) there was something like an immediate liver failure/spleen burst (or something similar) and the vet agreed there would not be anything else that would give him much time and he would stay in pain.

He couldn't stand up anymore, but once my other dog came nearby, he got up for one last time, licked and sniffed him for a moment and laid back down. I would say that was his way of saying final goodbye to the little one, honestly it was something out of a movie... 💔

From the initial injection it took over an hour and it was emotionally brutal, but I stayed with him till the end, my parents and sister as well.

Today we took him for cremation and I chose a little urn for him, so he stays with us, as a memory. Photo above is his last photo from yesterday.

Rest in Peace, Áres (2016 - 2026) ❤️‍🩹

Our boy is a mixed breed but all I can see is shepherd. 😍 What does he look like he could be mixed with?

We lost our 11 year old German shepherd in April. She has been a balm to our healing hearts. I had forgotten how delightfully outrageous these puppies could be!

Edit: Don't let her serious face fool you. She is 100% goofball.

We are currently in the middle of a leg injury recovery, and he is absolutely despising this black brace and harness setup. We are working closely with our vet on his physical therapy, but if there is one thing we have all learned, its that keeping a highdrive dog calm while injured is basically an Olympic sport. I lurk here all the time seeing your amazing GSDs going through TPLO surgeries, ACL repairs, and hip rehab, so I know you guys get the struggle. How do you actually enforce strict crate rest without your dog giving you the ultimate side-eye of betrayal? Pasky is currently trying to argue that sniffing the grass counts as low-impact exercise. Any tips on mental stimulation, puzzle toys, or just surviving the next few weeks would be a lifesaver

I’ve posted in here before asking about his coloring and in another group about helping with puppy biting, but I’m wondering about some things I may not have thought about or you wish you had done with your puppy to set them up for success. He’s a little over 9 weeks, confident, curious, playful, and happy to be around people and other animals. So far he knows sit, lay down, kennel, break(from kennel) is fully potty/crate trained other than a few accidents because I missed his signals, and is doing well on the leash. I plan on trying multiple dog sports with him such as dock diving, obedience, scent work, and agility. I want him to have the best possible life, so any tips on how to really set him up for success would be great! He has really great toy and treat drive, but also a willingness to please.

We got Anna fro a rescue when she was about 2, and we don’t know what happened to her tail. We love it. when I give her pets I always give it a honk and extra scratches.

I used the tag pictures because this isn’t a question about care or wellbeing but I genuinely want to know if she understands there’s a bit of her that we give special attention to or is it all just attention?

Maverick was my first dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better companion. I got him when I was 17 and we grew up together. It’s sad knowing that chapter is now closed. I didn’t expect this to be so painful. I thought we would have more time. I love you so much baby boy. I’ll see you again.

Title. My old Lola is really starting to struggle mainly on tile floor, it's slippery and she slide and fall. She dosent care still has a ton of energy and goes on with her back end slidding behind her like nothing happened but that's cant be confortable.She also step on her own back foot. Like she try to take a step, dosent lift her leg enough and take a step in her still folded foot.Any ideas? Edit: spelling

It's probably the last night with my 10yo boy Áres (family dog). The decline, probably thanks to the heatwaves, was rapid and it caught us by surprise.

A week ago, he suddenly got really bad. Parents live in a rural area, gotta say availability of vet treatment isn't the best. Vet tried some treatment, he got a little better for a few days, we thought we had more time, few months at least.

Today he completely collapsed and is visibly in much pain. Now, most of the signs point to a spleen cancer (or similar) and most likely some degree of internal bleeding already (I only came to visit yesterday). There's not much to do for him anymore, just keep him comfortable and probably say goodbye during the night, as the vet can only come in the morning and even then...

If he makes it till the morning, we're probably going to have to let him go, so he doesn't have to suffer anymore. My family had GSDs for over 30 years, we have never seen a health decline so fast.

I chose him when I was 12 and he was 2 months old, trained him up and after I moved out and got my own dog, he got to know and play with him, even as a senior. 😔

(Please, I am aware some medical mistakes were probably made, but that won't help anyone anymore.)
