Cosmo passed his Advanced test today! We are repeating it to build consistency- he’s a little stubborn, imagine that! 🥰😂😜 Next goal - Good Citizen Certification! 13 months, 120 lbs.

8 month old loves Paw

Somehow they always find that last patch huh?

This is my Pyr/poodle mix, Thor. Thor engages in pica-like behavior when his tummy is upset. Thor just had a bunch of carpet surgically removed from his stomach.

Jokes aside, he’s recovering well and may even get to come home this evening! We’re working with the vet on prevention strategies to keep this from happening again. They were also able to do a preventative gastropexy while they were in there to prevent GDV down the line which provides me with so much peace of mind!

The total, in addition to what I’ve already paid for emergency fees, xrays, etc., is probably going add up to about $8k. Thankfully, I have insurance which should cover 80% over $1k, minus some exclusions (they probably will not cover the gastropexy or exam fees). All worth it for my sweet boy, I can’t stomach the thought of losing him!

Yesterday’s hike was a bit challenging for me… not for Basa. He had the time of his life and even tried to turn himself into a snowball ❄️😂

He likes his fan

I feel like no matter how much I brush, there’s still knots. Mostly on her butt and behind her ears. Does it ever end? Do you just stop brushing eventually? Her rear end hair is very thick and frizzy! Her ears are soft. She let me brush her with a slicker brush forever. A comb, a few minutes and she’s over it.

We just adopted the most amazing 3 year old male Great Pyr and I’m looking for some advice.

He is housebroken and never pees inside during the day. He is mostly outside surveying his land but comes in throughout the day and has never had an accident.

We take him out one last time around 930pm and take up his water bowl around 8pm. Almost every morning we have woken up to a puddle of pee somewhere in the house. We typically get up and take him outside between 6-7am so this isn’t a super long night.

My current plan is to take his water up earlier and maybe push his last pee to 1030pm and then close him in our bedroom so I can hear if he’s pacing. Any other ideas?

He’s pressing on the food not eating it and I’m very confused

his search for snow in April 😂😂

It’s been a LONG time since we’ve had a puppy. Molly is 3.5 months old and is a full grown velociraptor. You name it, she’s chewing it. What are some of the best chew toys that actually keep them entertained it that is even possible? Also, apparently she sees a walking rawhide bone when my toddler is walking around, so can anyone tell me where to find a bite suit in a size 2T 😂 (obviously joking, he is perfectly fine lol)

Baxter loves his couch, repeat, his couch.

Our girl gets overheated on typical dog beds but is starting to get sore spots on her elbows from the hard floor. Does anyone have recommendations on dogs beds they use for their pyrs?
