  • Well that was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  How is it that an animal buries itself so deeply into your heart and soul.  He was my best buddy in the world.  Not seeing him waiting in th

    Had to say goodbye to one of my best friends of the last 14 years today. Her name was Avery. At 8 weeks old she was left tied up in front of my future father in law's vet clinic. Freshly out of c

Wow. Hell of a meet and greet for poor Jax. 
 

Glad everyone will be ok.

My wife is doing a remodel job in our neighborhood and they have dogs. Everyone decided it was time for them all to meet. One of theirs is a bit larger and older and when Jax walked up to the door wagging his tail the bigger dog attacked him. Locked his jaws into Jax’s neck and back. Didn’t realize there were puncture wounds until Thursday morning, and Friday it was clear one was infected so we took him to the ER vet and they had to cut it open to drain it. Last night he ate and then had a bowl of ice cream. Hell yeah he did. But he’s doped up now doesn’t even want snacks.

I keep a supply of "fish" antibiotics on hand for just such occasions.

Well the lady got the dogs Halloween costumes again this year. Luckily they don’t seem to hate them.IMG_7895.thumb.jpeg.9575185009df5267ee8ac2610dad5f8e.jpeg

we owe Jax a river day when he gets healthy. there's nothing better than seeing dogs happy by the water like that. I really mean nothing better. nothing.

Speaking of, where does everyone take their dogs from the Austin area to play in water? I want to take our crocodales somewhere next year, preferably a beach, but Padre is a 6 hour drive.....

My dogs don't like water, which is nice, because there is nowhere near Austin where the water might not kill them.  Good times.

It's been quite a while since I was there, but there used to be quite a few parks along the San Marcos river. 

Dogs can always head to San Marcos. The river down by Martindale is nice. Dog friendly. 

We take ours to the river about twice a week when the weather permits.

Jax says thanks.  
 

although Jax is every bit the lover so dogs are not going to have an issue at our place.  
 

he got the drain and his wrap off today. It’s pretty gruesome looking though 2 of the 3 holes in his side are the drain incisions.
 

fyi - I was working had no idea about any of it.

My post was more for folks whom aren't familiar with dog politics, and I understand it came off as condescending. Not my intent.

Accidents will always happen.

It breaks my heart to see an injured pup.

Give Jax a pet for me 😀

@troph I'm no saint when it comes to dog behavior. Luna has taught me so much. She's a big girl with the physical capability to kill a human, much less another dog. 

Many here have met her and know she's no killer.

6 years of that has put things into great perspective when it comes to dog handling.

The most important lesson is that we never know what they are going to do. We just have to put them in situations where they can succeed, and remove them from those they can't.

Aliyanah has been nice enough to share one of her pillows with Heiani. These two are pretty awesome together.IMG_9424.thumb.jpeg.f8389bc4ab43822882dd466f079eec57.jpegIMG_9427.thumb.jpeg.bdc24be212de3f26b90ab0aebab82b91.jpeg

Just a FYI:
Don't ever introduce dogs to each other at either one's home turf. Always try at neutral ground on leash and see how it goes. 
Yep. Going for a group walk can work well.

Just another pro tip. Female dogs are more difficult when it comes to getting along with other females. They have a much more serious hierarchy going on than the male dogs have.

Truth. 

Luna is top bitch and she will not give up that position without a fight.

Yep. Penny is the alpha. Blue learned early on. Now Blue likes to take it out on any other female if she's left unchecked. If I dont check her, Penny does.

Blue: "Im second in command!"

Both just dote on the male dogs, though.

My top Shepherd female would mess up anyone who came into the house and got out of line. Damn I miss her. 

Penny let's them all know she's in charge as soon as they walk in the house. Doesn't hurt them, just intimidates them. Then it's like...

Luna is good with males unless they try to hump her. That's the only time she's actually terrified me. 

I only go to my complex dog park where she doesn't have to teach any more lessons.

Her new pal is a 110 pound male rottie. He is her Duckie. Just rolls over the second she walks in and waits for her to sniff his junk. Then it's play time.

What man hasn't done that for his lady?

God help me during Fall back...

my 2 just refuse to understand that even though we (purposely) went to bed more than 90 mins later than normal both Sat and Sun night, its not fucking needing to wake up at the exact same time as we did the last 8 months.

I know its the last time having to do this with Sadie, but damn she really didnt like me trying to sleep in.

It's not the dogs' fault. It's the morons who keep insisting fucking with the clock twice a year. The dogs are smarter.
