Meanwhile, our golden retriever, Nora, had a complete tear of her cranial cruciate ligament on her back right leg in early December. She could no longer put any weight on the leg and she had surgery on Dec 23. She is healing okay but it’s way too early to know if the surgery was successful and the total recovery time is 3+ months. That means she has to be locked in a bathroom 90% of the time and kept on a leash at all times, including going to the bathroom. Not the most fun experience for her or us, but hopefully it pays off in a few months.

Keep her low key well after it heals and she gets the strength back in that leg. A lot of times they'll blow out the other side. Ask me how I know.

My vet had the lab in the pool before allowing to run. 

This fool takes his ball everywhere and takes naps with it, jaw open on the ball.

This sweet boy, Rocket, had x-rays today. The vet said he has "the worst case of hip dysplasia" she's ever seen. On one side, the ball of his femur is only barely in the hip socket, and on the other, the hip socket isn't formed like it should be. Or something along those lines. He just turned one at the end of November and this is about the age they usually diagnose it. We knew it was a possibility but I was not expecting it to be this bad.

The better news is that he can live a pretty normal life if he has major hip surgery. We are consulting with a vet orthopedic surgeon next week to figure it out. And besides walking janky and being slow to stand up, he's acting normal. She said they get used to the pain since it's normal to them, which I guess is a good thing but is still sad. He does have pain meds now.

Cross your fingers that our pet insurance helps with the cost. The policy doesn't specifically exclude hip dysplasia and doesn't have a waiting period, but I'm worried they'll find some loophole to get out of it. Either way we'll do surgery if that's what the doc recommends. I've spent money on much less worthy causes.413ddf60cd4cd05bf52a43fa323f9c91.jpg

It's just money. I'm at $16k on Blue. Ugh. That dog won the lottery.

I hope she feels better soon. I will be hitting y'all up for long-term surgical recovery tips here shortly.

Hasn't slowed him down much yet.

Whenever I’m a little down, I should immediately come to this thread. It instantly makes make feel better because dogs are awesome.

We had a new guest last week.

His name is Chewie, which was appropriate, as he sounded like a Wookie.

Poor buddy only has one eye. Probably lost during the battle of Endor.

Fucking swinging logs coming out of nowhere. 

My dog keeps digging trying to get moles in the backyard. How can I stop this? She’s not quick enough to get them, so I end up with huge holes. I’ve given up on the moles. I can’t figure those bastards out either.

Posted in the "Lulz" forum, but figured I'd put it here too...

Long day back and forth to aggy vet school was tiring.

Daughter got a mix from the animal shelter. Whenever she sits down, the dog's instantly in her lap. Seems to be pit/greyhound mix. Complete temperment of a greyhound. Slowly introducing her to new stuff. 30de8f786f5157640cdf4018bc81287f.jpgfe102711a2149b74379629f418b3407c.jpg7fcd3ca9eb601f0d8a38b0f3c15c7aa3.jpg

Got Rocket's x-rays today. In case y'all ever wondered what severe bilateral hip dysplasia in canines looks like, here you go. The top one is normal for comparison. You can see in the bottom left how there is no joint at all - the femur is "floating" and the hip socket is almost flat. It's slightly more concave on the right but still relatively flat. The heads of both femurs are also deformed, although that's harder to tell if you don't usually look at x-rays of dog femurs.

The good news is that he really doesn't seem like he knows anything is wrong. Still just being a giant puppy.

She had been at the shelter since Christmas morning.  Someone found her in an abandoned chicken coup.  The shelter slapped her with Zoey, but she doesn't respond to it, so I think it may be up for a change.  They are still trying to decide. 

Just got the email from aggy. Blue doesn't have to go back for six months. Hopefully, we are nearing the end of this ordeal 

5am, wet and foggy outside. She sees a rat, cat, possum... something. Comes back in after 40 50 minutes wet and with her best feed me looka010f95b9ee76e206be06f13dd00abcd.jpg

Wow, thank you for posting those. Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. I am always amazed at the resiliency of dogs to keep doing what they do best. Derp, love, and more derp. They really are awesome.

Team Rocket!

Trying to post an a picture of my niece. Bear with me awhile I try to upload it.

My 11 month old niece and her best friend. I got Diesel for my mother 6 years ago about a month after her dog had passed away suddenly. He's a German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd mix. She crawls all over him and he just lays there. When my brother brought her home from the hospital he would go lay next to her crib and if she started crying he'd go get my brother to come in there. Dogs are amazing in how they will instinctively protect people.

Against my instincts, the wife brought this little guy home last weekend.

8 week old rat terrier mix. Named him Franklin. Little shit sure has grown on me. It took awhile, but he’s growing on our first dog (Oliver; 9 year old chiweenie) finally.

Ladybird has had the puppies. There were 5, but the first one did not make it. She was born without a sac and had a cleft lip and palate. We tried, but she just could not get that first breath. The other 4 came out just fine.

Mom is doing great. Our other pyr, Sadie, isn't quite sure what to make of them yet. The pups were born on Friday and mom did not want Sadie near them. This morning, mom was walking around the house and Sadie went into the whelping box to get a look/sniff. When mom came back, there were no growls or showing of teeth, so I think she is over that.

Way to go Ladybird!

Eli went off this morning for two weeks of board and train.  The house feels empty and I miss the hell out of him already.  I know he needs the training for discipline and to iron out some issues but it's going to be a long two weeks without him.

Yesterday morning our youngest boy had one of the puppies in his lap.  The pup started to whine a bit and Ladybird came over and was trying to get it from him.  She couldn't get her head into the right position though, so my wife just took the pup back to the whelping box.  It's really fascinating to see the instincts take over during this whole process.

Ladybird is eating so much now.  You can see her belly and how skinny she is after the birth.  When we first met her she was skinny, but now even more so.  She gets some fresh eggs every morning and is really eating a lot of her dog food.  She was rescued from a farm on the Iowa/Missouri border a little over a month ago.  I'm amazed at how trusting she is of people.  She did not have any interaction with people until the rescue got her.  I think having Sadie here helped to get her acclimated to living with our family.

That area is notorious for puppy mills.  Glad she found a good home!

Yeah.  The rescue that we have worked with got 3 out of a total of 30+ pyrs at that farm.  The story is that they started with one boy and one girl and they just kept on having litters.  Never got them fixed.  All they did was feed them.  The three that our rescue took included the mom of most of them on the farm.  Poor thing is likely never to be adopted.  She just doesn't trust people at all.  We met her when they first got her and were going to adopt her.  The guy from the rescue actually advised against it and wanted us to meet Ladybird.  The mom of all those puppies just kept having litter after litter with no recovery time.  Her nipples are black and hanging about 5" below her belly.  I'm fairly certain that she will be a permanent resident of the rescue.

One of my co-workers has 3 GSD puppies for sale. Here is the white one , the other two are the typical brown and black mixture.

Both parents and Grand parents are CKC certified.

My dog growing up was a male cocker spaniel. We took in a mean ol cat that got knocked up right away. Cunt cat wouldn't have anything to do with her young besides feed them. My dog would pick up the kittens by the scruff and walk them around the house and lick them clean and keep them warm. It was funny as hell to watch and very cool.

pretty sure you are mistaken sir, that is not GSD, that is 100% pure white floof.  

 

Chester just turned 1!  He's a challenge, but he's going to be a great dog.
