Lol, Ill start with my German Shepherd and the Shih-Tzu on Kaiser's (the GSD) first birthday. This was before we rescued Greta, the poodle.

Luca is a Velcro dog. I'm hoping as time goes on he gets more comfortable. He knows when I'm about to leave. He will go outside but refuses to go to the bathroom. You would think being a border collie he would be smart enough to go to the bathroom before he goes to his kennel. Well, I have to hide for him to make it to the grass. I felt like someone was watching me and I turn around to see this

We are about 40 minutes into a 2-3 hour wait in the parking lot of an emergency pet hospital in Flat Rock, NC after Winston somehow scratched his eye. Sure wish I had eaten lunch earlier.

I bought a clipper kit to use on my Golden and I’m only ever him taking him to any groomer in the future is if I have zero time or am extremely lazy. I just put the 18mm on and went to town while he just laid there, took less than 30 minutes and looks better then when Petsmart does it too.

Can adult dogs be expected to use a bathroom?

Provided there's a man taking pictures, wouldn't you be concerned/uncomfortable in your dog's place?

I have a golden doodle and wish I could clip her myself but she is a big natty mess

I bought a Oneisall two speed clipper and was uneasy about it with the double coat but it was $40 so I went for it, worse case I’d try to return it or sell it. It cuts fine with no extension on the patch behind the ear where they tend to get matted up but was a bit slower going with the 18mm extension on but we got through it and his coat is pretty even, short, but even. For thicker hair like on a golden doodle you may have to look into “professional” gear. I was shocked seeing some in the $400s, insane prices for hair clippers.

Thank you. We just got back. They flushed his eye and gave him a dye test to make sure there was no ulcer (and there were no signs of an ulcer). He is doing better. Antibiotic / steroid drops for 10 days + a soft cone if he paws at it again. Worth the $240 and 4+ hours of time to avoid an escalation.

Louie came into my wifes hospital after being hit by a car. No chip, no one claimed him and he was going to be put down so we kept him....needless to say he's spoiled

Even though he got hurt, he was lucky at the same time meeting up with you guys since you took him in and gave him a good home. A dog can't ask for more than that.

It's a calico cat. It must be a female.
