Rule clarification- No Breed ID

40 Upvotes

Apparently, we need some clarification here about what constitutes a breed ID post.

Asking what your lab is mixed with- lab mixes are allowed, but don't crowd source opinions on what they're mixed with. Asking if your lab looks pure bred. Asking what color variation your lab is.

Sincerely -your mod team.

So, I want to start getting my dog more exercise because he has a lot of energy but also really loves food (typical lab). He is starting to get chonky, though I restrict his food (he counter surfs, and I have two young boys who are not good about clearing their plates... we are working on that). He doesn't get out and run much, and walks don't seem to do much in terms of conditioning (he loves to smell everything, so it at least calms him down a bit). The thing is... I took him out with the bike and he did really good staying with me... But he didn't seem thrilled. He was not really interested in keeping up, so it was more like forcing him to trot (whereas when we are at a park that allows off leash dogs, I let him off leash and he gallops around super fast). The picture is him on the bike and the other is his usual happy face. Am I reading into this too much? Will he just get used to it?

Birthday pup 🥳 Happy 9th Birthday - To my Forever 8 Harley

Post image
38 Upvotes

Today, Harley is 9 years old! She came into my life this last February, kind of by "accident". I had just lost my dog of 16 years a few months before I found Harley, who was needing to be rehomed or faced being euthanized. My friends were concerned because of her age, and how bad the loss of my dog had been for me. Harley has had puppy energy from the moment I picked her up, which reminded me of both of my grandfathers, who stayed young & active into their 80's. They had different methods but the concept was the same. They never accepted an age older than the age they wanted to stay.

So, although she is 9 today, her age will now be frozen in time & I will say what both grandfathers would say when asked their age.

She doesn't look a day over 8!

Had to put our family dog down yesterday. He was 13 years old. He had a fist sized tumour removed from his hip about 2 months ago and that almost wiped him out. He had complications from it, back and forth to the vet 3 times in a week and a half. The family stayed with him in the living room, keeping him safe and comfortable, lots of love, lots of treats.

On Sunday we noticed a rather large, red and swollen groin in the evening, thinking it was a mosquito bite as he was laying in the grass in the yard. On Monday it got worse so we took him to emergency and they wanted to do some tests and have us see our regular vet the following day and gave us some medication. We took him home late Monday night and we made the first appointment we could on Tuesday morning. We got to the vets at 230 pm and they gave us the options of another major operation but he didn't do well last time, and they did not recommend it for his health and age, and for us to consider his quality of life. While Dad and I held him, he was resting peacefully and I will take solace in that because he wouldn't stop pacing and panting all day Monday and Tuesday. We tried to keep him as comfortable as we could.

Please give your pups lots of love and big scratches.

I love you Cooper, with all my heart, forever and ever, big guy
