It has been a while since I have caught up on this thread. Just wanted to pass on my condolences to all of you whose families have suffered losses or who are dealing with their pets' illnesses. It is...

I've increasingly come to the conclusion that fireworks are little more than arseholes scaring the hell out of pets so they can look briefly at shiny things. Personally, I'd be happy if no one in...

For anyone else who runs into ear problems with their dogs - dilute apple cider vinegar can be helpful too. Just make sure you dilute it (50-50 with water) as it can irritate when full-strength. I...

Nelson, I'm so sorry to read of your loss. That must have been a terrible shock.

I hope that soon the memories of that day are overtaken by all the good ones that came before.

Absolute heartbreak at our house yesterday as we said goodbye to our Tobi. The time had come and it was the right thing to do, and the vet who came to our house was wonderful. But damn, this hurts.
...

I have to be careful with Tobi's - he's a big dog and I've lost more than a few shear bolts to them. :)

Bit late to the party but sorry to see you had to get Travis' tail fixed Roy, but very happy to see that he's on the mend. :tu

No apologies needed Roy. When a dog adopts a new human, that human gets right of way here for a while. :)

Congratulations Roy!! Welcome to SRP Travis - you have yourself a very good human there. Well chosen. :)

What the hell do you feed him?!?!

:rofl2:

Nice to meet you Diablo. That is one happy-looking dog face you have there. :tu

I've always wondered what my Tobi would have looked like as a pup. He was around 5 years old when we came into each other's lives, so I'll never know for sure. But I strongly suspect Bubbles isn't...

Over the last couple of years my buddy Tobi (~9 year old shepherd-husky-Bernese (I think)) had really been slowing down. Little energy, changed gait with his head held low, and most troubling a very...

My old friend Tobi has been dealing with a bum leg for a while and as it wasn't improving, I started taking him in for physio, etc. It's a pretty cool place with *great* staff and they have options...

He looks like he's going to be a hilarious handful! :tu

Thanks!

My guys *loves* the cold. Not surprising as he's a Husky/Bernese/Shepherd mix. The downside is that makes him a professional-level shedder too.

I think he didn't even know he was doing...

Just back from the vet with my now incontinent Tobi. :( He's had a couple of accidents this week, so I wanted to make sure he didn't have a urinary tract infection, stones, etc. Tests were good so...

So sorry to hear this Mike, but thankful you had a bit of bonus time to enjoy each other.

They sure do have a way to work themselves into our hears like no others can. So sorry to hear that you had to make that hard call. But so happy that you rescued him and gave him a good life.

So sorry about your terrible news Glen. All of us whose lives have been made richer by the animals in our families know the pain, but to go from such a high to such a low in such a short time must be...

So sorry to hear this Glen. They are such a massive part of our lives, it's so devastating when they are gone. I hope your 17+ years together provides you with many, many good memories for years to...

Scott - so good to hear things are looking positive! May he have a long, happy, and event-free run from here on in.

:tu

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

Tobi in the forest today.

Whenever I see a photo like that of a Mom and her litter I'm reminded of my buddy whose dog had a litter of 12. They kept Mom & pups closed off for a short while in a room away from the other dogs...

While many folks have been grumbling about the 51cm of snow that was dumped on us yesterday, and the extra 15cm or so we got today, Tobi is quite pleased. It just makes his throne (aka the big pile...
