I’m putting the recycling bins outside in the lane for pick up tomorrow. I did close the gate but didn’t latched it as it was a whole 3 seconds. I don’t know how he did it, little sh*t came running out, ran to the neighbour’s side and I’m there running after him n calling him to come here, fell...

Been doing tiny walks with Jake. Even though he’s not fat, he’s sure not in shape. He finally did his first 1km (0.61 mile). It’s not much but I don’t want to push him either. Especially after his surgery a couple weeks ago. We got home and walked through the back gate. He went for some water n...

Jake comes from a farm so he’s not use to walk. Almost fell on my butt a few times of being tangled between him n Nyala. He did ok and we only walked 1/2 km since he’s getting surgery for his soft palate we’re not pushing it. He’s cooling off on the floor snoring. Nyala is wearing Duke on her...

Our vet has referred us to a specialist to have Walter's sinuses looked at. She recommended having the sinus surgery done as soon as possible to prevent it from causing any health issues down the road. While this makes perfect sense to me, I'm still concerned about his age and the amount of...

London is as sweet as can be so far!! She smiles and wiggles a lot! She sleeps most of the time and snores VERY loudly. She doesn’t seem to mind other pups and follows us around for love sometimes! We’re looking forward to finding out more about her. For now, she will start her weight-loss plan...

Hello. I have a 2.5yr old bulldog, Bear. I took him to the vet last week because he was limping. He actually had been limping since (maybe) April. But, he would just limp a few steps, then seem to walk normally. This would occur off and on (mostly off). He also walks diagonally - I'm not...

Hi there! I'm Eddie and I am 6 months old. I was dumped in a park by my owner right before Christmas. Luckily, Animal Control found me and got me into rescue! After seeing the vet, he diagnosed me with spina bifida. This means I am incontinent and need to wear diapers. My back legs don't work...

I've decided that I'm going to try to document Ollie's experience with TPLO (tibial-plateau leveling osteotomy) surgery. I'm pretty much having to learn everything on my own. Maybe some time down the road someone might find this useful. If it needs to be moved, feel free Moderator/s. In the...

They really like him, and he them. Came in with kennel cough and now that that’s over, we’ll schedule him for palate surgery and a dental. He really is a charmer. If I had room I’d keep him. I say that a lot, BTW. His tongue hangs out on the left side. It’s funny looking and just adds to his...
