Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

At a year and 4 months it's great to have a dog back in the house.

And already laid claim to the couch Glad you have a new kid. They keep us active and are so much better for our moods

This is where gypsy usually is

Beautiful shepherd! I have one which there is a few pics earlier in the forum. Now that I am moving onto 12 acres this month I would like to get two more. Am I crazy???

If you go back to the start.... of course since they merged the two, so I'm not sure exactly where the pictures are now. But I documented Gypsy's growth on here as a pup with her in my recliner. All the way from an Itty bitty little piranha weighing 6lbs.

Got some with her twin brother on here as well.

Gotta go back about 8 years.

Gypsy is a one dog household. She's fine with dogs her size, but developed arthritis in her hip. So she is on light duty with walks with dad for excersise. Not sure how it will work out once we get back out on the property.

We try to limit her tearing around so she doesn't injure herself.

Tried to catch her mid yip. She gets demanding when she's ready to play and you haven't tossed her ball to her yet

Lily, our lab has always had allergies. Seems to be a big thing with dogs now a days. Over the years, we spent a lot of money, switched the food many times, and ended up on a beef based raw diet with supplement, a little fruit and vegetable. Still didn’t quite fix the issues. Anyways, every now and then she would lick her paws and sometimes bite at her nails. Well, we believe she actually may have chewed one enough to break it off?? Many vet visits the past two weeks, now looking like surgery to remove part of the toe as it is not healing. Here is a pic of her with the dread cone!

I've had two dogs with allergies. The first was a pit bull who was allergic to grass. She would clear up in the winter but in the summer she was in and out of the vets for steroid shots to help keep it contained.

The other was a jack Russell terrier that was allergic to fleas.

We had to be religious with the flea treatments. Usually used k9 advantix. I would program it into my calendar to make sure and give him the treatment when he was due.

If we missed the treatment it would cost us $500 at the vets office to get him cleared back up.

It is best to get fleas and ticks under control in early spring when you are putting down fertilizer. Buy a couple of 50-pound bags of diatomaceous
s earth and mix it with your fertilizer. The diatomaceous earth will get on the bodies of the fleas and ticks and when they run their feet through their mouths to clean themselves, they will ingest the powder and die. The diatomaceous earth will have no ill effects on your lawn and it is completely inert and nonpolluting. It will also work on ants and other insects because it is able to pierce the exoskeleton of the ant which causes dehydration. Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica.

This old girl had to have two teeth pulled on Wednesday. She's only 105lb but when I picked her up from the vet she was dead weight, and it's hard to move a body when you care about the body.

A little over 2 weeks ago we rescued Digger. Hard to tell from the photo but still very nervous of people but a huge improvement over when we first got him...pretty much my shadow now.

Hopefully it’s an uneventful and speedy recovery for the sweet girl….

They always look so sad with those cones on but she's still a beauty. Hoping all turns out well and you'll all be back to enjoying your walks soon.
