She is adorable, but I can't imagine dealing with all of that hair. 😂 

It’s terrible right now she just went through 18 days of heat and we had to change her diaper 10 times a day. Then immediately started shedding

The guy basically won’t sell you a dog unless you agree to let it go through at least one heat because he believes it makes them live longer.. I don’t think he can legally do anything and I know one person from our litter spayed their dog and he scolded them.. we agreed that if it is possible that it makes her live longer we were willing to do it. It sucked tho and it was gross 

Heyyy it finally worked. This is my son, Tanner. He's old.

And just returned from the vet and my dog likely has a mass on his brain. He’s had small seizures off and on for 4 years. Very nervous/anxious dog. Had 3 seizures in 5 weeks recently but hasn’t had 1 in 10 days.

Anyone had anything similar with their pet?

Our curly haired dog, Shooter (middle of the pic), had a lot of seizures when he was younger. They are way more rare now. His issue is an enlarged heart and a stage 4 or 5 heart murmer. He's on medication now (over $150/mo, I think) that has served him well. He's still weird AF, doesn't always eat his food, super anxious, is kind of a dick, but his seizures have all but disappeared. 

Only when they get older and are terminal.   

Hate putting dogs down.  I was with my lab when he went.  I cant do that again.  Having him looking at me when they stop breathing.  It was hard.

He literally rides in a car like a person

She has been my avatar nearly the whole time since I joined this site.  Someone from my wife's work brought in a litter of pups.  My wife by surprise brought her home when all my kids were in early elementary school "to see if we wanted to keep her".  You know how that goes. My kids are now all gone and she is still here. 

She is very old you can see she is getting a lot of gray around her mouth and neck.  I don't think she wanted her picture taken cause she would not raise her ears for the pic.

She often watches for me at the back door in the mudroom where I often enter the house.

Had to put him down a couple of years ago, after 15 great years.

Beautiful dog.  They just don't live long enough.  

I work from home and he is officially employed as my Chief Security Officer.  He gets room and board for his work.  To the untrained eye, he eats and sleeps all day.  But really, he's purposely laying low to draw in threats.  I can knock him as a bum.  But since I've been home-based the last year, there have been zero attacks.  So I guess he's batting 1,000.  Thinks he's the toughest guy who ever walked this planet.

My dog is the same way. 15 lbs. and he's not scared of my mom's Great Dane or German Shepherd. They try to play with him, he growls and goes after them, they run away lol.

Lil dude's got a killer mustache.

He's a Civil War looking  badass.  Every dog on my block over 20 lbs is very wary of him.  He thinks he's friggin' lightening..
