Good stuff!

He's all mini dachshund long hair, color is called "merle" or "black and tan double dapple". His parents were dachshund show winners. Back in the day he was 12# of fury, but these days he mostly just wants to chill someplace comfy.

Look at Revolution, never had any side affects with our dogs

Hurts my heart... spent time with her one last time before we had to let her go today.

What a beautiful girl. Go in peace..

Eric, sorry for your loss.

Eric, $hit! Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful animal/partner/friend. Very sorry for your loss. Dread the day when we need to say good bye to our two boxers. It sucked when we had to do it with out 2 labs.... Dread the day...

Remember all of the good times and how much joy you brought to each other.

Cheers

She was a good looking girl, Eric. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

How old was she?

I hate to read these threads/posts where we lose one of our buddies...

Beautiful pup...best to you Eric.

My pup hangs out wif a couple of ol' fleabag puppies...so she gets 'em. Never been a fan of the stuff you apply, collars, etc. Vet uses/prescribes Bravecto (Fluralaner), fleas gone in just one day....lasts 3 months, no side effects for my Lab.

:(

I will give my two girls a lot of extra hugs today for your girl, Eric.

I'm so sorry......she was beautiful and she had a great life. You will see her again.....

Thanks for the kind words guys and gals. She was 13, but still had plenty of life in her left, if it wasn't for cancer. She had bone cancer and had to get one of her hind legs amputated to save her. In one of the last chemo treatments they discovered a polyp in her rectal lining, but it turned out to be something else that went into deep tissue. A different kind of cancer appeared a few months later, but cancer nevertheless. It wasn't advised to put her under chemo again, and her crying in pain from pooping seemed like it was time. We had a gathering on Friday with her friends one last time... it seemed like she knew. She got lots of treats and all the pets and belly rubs she could want before having to cross the bridge ahead of us.

So,so sorry.

Dog Food
 

Hello Everyone,

What kind of dog food do you guys recommend?
We are currently giving our Beagle Nutro Grain Free food but now we're hearing that grain free can lead to heart problems.

Our vet say to use Purina, the stuff that you can buy at any grocery store.

What say you?

Thanks.
Larry

My Vet and I are good friends - he states that Purina spends more money in R&D for the health and betterment of the animals than all the others combined. Also that some of the boutique brands spend a larger parts of their budget on just marketing.

Specifically Pro-plan / Purina is what's recommended.

Nutro is good stuff! I get mine delivered here straight from Chewy.

Note the "Senior" tag - because my 2 girls are 14 - and seniors.

They are very healthy and are not on any meds (knock on wood) and I attribute much of their health to this product.

The older one has had some mobility issues in the past and other things but all good now.

I fed my last Lab nothing but Pro-Plan for over 14 years (as that's what the breeder used)...good stuff. I did a bit more research when acquiring my current 10 mo old Lab, and she's fed Authority Puppy Large Breed. Asked my vet what he feeds his own dawgs....the same. He said it's really Pro-Plan (with mebbe a few extra ingredients I think)....and not terribly overpriced like some.

Got my current pup from one of the top breeders in the US...he used regular Purina from the grocery store and has a legacy of champion dogs.

Grain Free
 

Well, since you asked...

These came highly recommended by our holistic veterinarian (as well as extensive research by Mrs. OnZedge):

Weruva "Dogs in the Kitchen" canned dog food varieties.

Honest Kitchen "Grain Free" freeze-dried (bulk pack).
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1578352329.jpg

Primal raw frozen formula. We get the starter variety packs because Ricky and Lucie are only ~10 lbs each, and we thaw as needed for each meal.

The DOG thread
 

This little fella just joined our household. I’ve dog allergies including asthma but the benefit to my kids is worth the suffering. He’ll be a bird dog when he gets older. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2263978b9.jpeghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6dd2c548e7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...098d9296c8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6e3a4e32ce.jpg

Made me smile!

What breed? It was fun watching my pup the day after bringing her home at 49 days....nose to the ground everywhere she went exploring her new world...."I smell stuff" :)

He's a Braque Francais.

I sure thought he was a GSP!

Pyrenean or Gascony?

Pyrenean. Looks just like a GSP really. Total lap dog in the house with the exception of his once or twice daily spaz sessions.

Had to google it....so whaddaya call him....Frenchie ;)?

Cool pup...

Remember losing a dog at six. It was brutal.

Lost a dog when I was 45. It was worse.

Just never gets easier.



Best advice I was given is that she won’t mind if you get a new dog.

My wife has been sick for a few days, strep throat. Our brown staffie hovers over her when she is sick, he is like that with kids conistently. I guess the don't call critters like that nanny dogs by mistake.

We had to put our GSP down yesterday. Had him 12 of his 14 years. We’ve had lots and lots of animals in our lives BUT this was by far the BEST dog that wrapped us early on. He had a great life. RIP Beau

:(

So sorry for your loss. I'm sure he did have a great life and I thank you for that. You will meet again one day.....

Holly. Tibetanian Terrier. Loves riding in my 68.

Beau had a great life because of you...RIP ol' boy.

It sucks dogs don't last for ever :(

AHHH, but they do!

After your dog passes, do you get the same breed or move on to another? I never could figure out how to go about it. I fear that I would possibly keep trying to compare the dog to my previous one, even though they all have different quirks and personalities.


I'm sorry to hear about Beau's passing :( He's watching over you and the family from doggie heaven now though!

A customer named "Nathan" came in last night and wanted to know if I wanted to adopt a dog that came wandering in to his shop. It was malnourished, but grateful to have found a place to stay. I told him that I have two rescue dogs already, so I can't adopt a dog at this time. I made this poster and taped it to the front door of the business:

I hope a kind person adopts him.

Everyone is different....you'll figure it out. I had so much going on in my life that I could not (did not want to) get another pup when I put my beloved 14 yr old yellow Lab down. After I was ready, I almost opted for a blue heeler (didn't pan out), then thought I was getting a great GSD pup when suddenly that fell through a year ago. I went on a mission....I wanted a pup NOW....I love Labs, but a Golden would have been fantastic too. Found an awesome local breeder with a Chocolate available.... :).

You will know...

After Cowboy I’m committed to blue heelers. But you’re over thinking it. 90% of dogs are the perfect dog and will fit themselves into your life. A year in and all your doubts will have been forgotten.

I will not get another damn puppy. Those things are infuriating.

Archer turns one in a couple weeks. He’s finally to the point where I don’t want to strangle him at least once a day.
