My perfect baby was a total sh*t head today

This is Frances. She is, like most huskies, an on-leash girlie.

Today, she tested her boundaries and my mental and physical health when she ran away while family was visiting. She ran 15 or so houses down the road and was only caught by falling victim to a bowl of cat food in a total strangers garage.

Don’t worry, she wasn’t under stimulated or bored. We went on a 7 mile hike yesteday and spent today playing with other dogs, children and in the water.

Worst part was that she did not hesitate for 1 single moment. She got out of her harness and was flying, back legs over her ears before I could even say “oh f*ck”.

Feeling super frustrated by her non existent recall considering my last dog came hardwired to be off leash and still somehow within my skin at the same time.

Background - I did not want a husky. I specifically did not seek one out despite always loving them and wishing for one. I was going to get a lap dog lmao. This dog was literally found running down the road (foreshadowing lmao) by my best friend and given to me to foster… and I fell in love. She’s truly my bff. She is protective, hilarious, snuggly, charismatic and so much more. I wouldn’t trade her in for even the most well behaved dog in the world.

Tl;dr - Just looking to commiserate with some other folks who love their evil, naughty, manhunt invoking Siberian huskies despite their escape attempts.

First time Dog owner need puppy advice!

This is my puppy Naruto and he is around 3-4 months old and is already this big and as a first time owner of pets and dogs in general I find it hard to pull him when he gets active and even though he is so cute he runs so fast and already broke 2 bases in my house!

Please im so nervous I know he’s perfectly healthy and a pure bred former show dog line of a Japanese Akita Inu but he is so hard to control and I haven’t took him to any training yet because no one near me have any experience in this particular breed same even for the vets who thought he was a Shiba Inu.

I think im just totally clueless and messy when it comes to handling him.

Any advice is welcome thanks!

Considering anxiety meds... struggling with decision but getting desperate

Pleasseee don't post hate because I'm considering this path.

This is my sweet Ellie Belly who I love to death. Got her 2 years ago as a rescue and she is truly precious -- very attached to me and tries harder than any dog I've ever had to be good.

But... she is very, very sporadically reactive. Example: She'll be asleep and if she hears a noise in the hall from our neighbors, or someone talking outside on the sidewalk, she'll sporadically jump up out of her sleep and bark so loud, causing my husband and I to jump. This happens at least 10 times per day and I work from home.. it is wrecking my nervous system. I've tried working in a room farther away from the front door (since she is always by my side), turning on music, blocking the bottom of the door but none of it helps.. she still hears outside noise.

We have tried every training method under the sun and do them consistently for months at a time. They help the normal barking a little but do not stop this sporadic, sudden barking that jolts our nervous system. At this point I believe it's completely instinctual and not something she can stop no matter how much we train her. She even seems a little remorseful after she does it.

I just don't know what else to do which is why I'm considering getting her on anxiety meds. The sporadic nature of her barking is impacting me so much that I've had to discuss it with my therapist. I don't want to make a selfish decision... but what do I do?

Anyone have experience with anxiety meds for their RT or have any thoughts?

Fern was diagnosed with a tumor today (2nd pic) and I’m freaking the F out

I am traumatized by losing my last 3 dogs to cancer, most recently this past March. I’ve lost 5 rescues in 12 years and never thought my shelter puppy would end up with a tumor roughly 5 months after I brought her home.

I found this lump on Fern’s arm Wednesday morning and was hoping, PRAYING it was a bug bite. Brought her to her ER vet this morning who has been treating her since the attack. This appt was scheduled in advance solely to assess her seroma that we’ve been dealing with since 8/10 from the secondary infection she got from the dog attack. Visually it’s almost gone. She did an ultrasound and she said now there is barely any scar tissue and just a little bit of fluid. Still no walking until she sees us in another 2 weeks, which will make it 7 weeks I‘ve had to keep Fern indoors.

Then she examined the lump and aspirated it. First impressions are a histiocytoma (which are usually benign and CAN resolve on their own or a mast cell tumor which can vary by grade and behavior. Guys, I’m freaking the F out. Poor Fern is now in a cone so she doesn’t mess with it. I can’t help but jump to the worst case scenario with everything I’ve gone through with my past dogs. Years ago I adopted a shelter pit and not even 2 weeks after I brought him home I found this pimple looking thing which turned out to be malignant cancer. It was awful. So now I have to wait 24-48 hours for results since it was sent off to cytology. It’s crazy because there was literally nothing on her arm a few days prior and then BOOM.

We need your prayers and good vibes again, please/thank you.

She died in my arms today.

Snippie was my 15 year old Jack Russel. She was the runt of the litter but always had the sweetest eyes.

We've lost 5 dogs in the last three years (the downside of getting dogs around similar ages). She was the sixth.

Her mother was my childhood dog and passed away May 2nd 2023. Heart failure.

Snippie has been on heart medication for 3 x months now. She has good days and not so good days, but nothing to be concerned about.

This morning I woke up and saw my parents were in their room with their lights on. This was odd as they usually slept in pretty late.

I went inside and asked what was going on and they told me Snippie isn't doing well.

It was 5:30 in the morning, they've been awake since 04:00, trying to reach emergency vets. No answer.

At 06:30 we finally got through to one. I just put on shoes, didn't even put on a bra. Met my dad outside and rushed her to the vet.

At this point she was far into heart failure and we just wanted to give her a painless goodbye.

That didn't happen.

As we drove she obviously just got worse and finally when we reached the vet and waited for them to open.

While she was in my arms her body contracted, she looked up, and her head softly fell down. I knew it then... She was gone.

My parents blame themselves for not take her to the vet the previous day, but I told them there was no way we could've known. She was just having a regular off day as some older dogs do.

She gave no early warning signs of distress. And when she started showing signs it was already progressing rapidly.

We had to euthanize dogs, 4 of them I was present and held them. But seeing her go like this was... different.

Every time I close my eyes I see that last look on her face. I am so so sad.

Give me hope

My husband and I recently brought a black lab puppy (Rosa) home. She is smart and can settle well in the afternoons, the mornings are a nightmare however. We got her when she was 9 weeks old and she has been with us for slightly under two weeks. Every morning she wakes us up at 7am and then we have to let her p*e, feed her immediately and go for a walk, because the alternative would be her biting and nipping us and everything around us and jumping on furniture (which we do not allow, however that gets her more excited). After the walk (10-15 min drive, 600m of walking and sniffing which takes us 30 mins and then the drive back) she is unable to settle and rest for at least an hour. If we try to calm her down by giving her a licking mat or something to chew on she hypes herself up even more. We usually crate her and I read next to her and then she settles after about 30-60 mins (during which she’s restless, scratches, whines, sometimes barks, nibbles at the door). After 2pm she is so much calmer and settles both in the box and even outside of it. adjusting the walk to a longer or shorter time has not changed anything.
It’s exhausting to deal with her constant biting outside of the crate or barking or whining in the crate and it feels horrible to just shut her in her crate but it is the only way to get her to calm down. I see people suggesting body contact or trying to settle her on a leash, that has not worked at all as it results in more nipping and leash pulling and protest. We have contacted a trainer who is coming in two weeks, but Any advice or just (hopefully positive) experiences of similar situations and how you resolved them would be much appreciated.

New rescue "pup", any advice welcome (and proud dog dad moment)

For context, I have a solid history with dogs (previously all border collie, but dogless for the last 10 years)

This beautiful pup was going to be put down by her owners on Wednesday unless we was able to take her (we was last on a list) pretty much due to inconvenience.

Either way, we was disgusted and naturally took her in.

She is the sweetest, most well behaved dog we have ever met, around people, other dogs, and even human food. We are yet to hear a p*ep out of her.

We was given around 3 hours to prepare.

She was totally untrained and left outside for her 7 year lifespan so far. Although she is so incredibly intelligent she is picking everything up extremely quickly (she even knows back to work now, I'm self employed and she goes straight to her bed upstairs in the office when I say it)

She has hip problems typically associated with GSDs, so we carry her up and downstairs when she's tired or looks like she's struggling.

The first 2 nights she p*ed in the kitchen, we was starting to get concerned until we took a gamble last night and let her sleep upstairs with us (thinking it may be separation anxiety), it paid off! First night without p*e. And she looked so happy to sleep with the pack.

Any advice for a first time GSD rescue owner? We just want her to live her best life possible.

(Also please note, her weight is due to a parasite which we was made aware of, once again, any advice is appreciated)

Help Us Name Him!

This little fella will be joining our pack soon!
He is 6 years old but has never known any name he’s been called (at least 4 that we know of). I am heavily involved with the rescue that originally saved him and some of his brothers from a TN shelter.

He was a breeder release 5 years ago. His original adopter decided to try to dump him at a local shelter a few months ago when she could no longer afford his vetting or grooming. From that neglect he lost almost all of his teeth.

He was then adopted out again but the resident dog didn’t like him. So now he’ll come to me. He doesn’t know his name or really anything but he’ll learn.

TLDR;
We are having a hard time naming him!
Suggestions would be great!

Thinking about rehoming… advice please

My dog Pickle is about 8 months old, and i thought i was just having puppy blues… it just got exponentially worse over past few months.

I love her to death. I got her when i was in a long term relationship with a person i planned to marry, who agreed to help (and did here n there) with dog care bc im a masters student and will be starting phd in fall. I also have 2 cats. Fast forward to now, we broke up a few months back because he cheated and i moved into my friends house, who has a big dog and 5 cats.

Pickle has always been non-reactive, independent, never a barker… but the move has made her separation anxiety severe. My friends dog barks at sounds, and it made pickle a barker too. She cries and barks ALL the time. I also live over an hour away from work/school now, so i can no longer check on her throughout the day.

Shes making my elderly cat stressed out, and my other younger cat is also always on edge and feels like she cant come out. I boarded her for a night recently and i felt so guilty for how much relief i felt. I didnt think id be alone at this point in my life, moving to a city where i know no one next summer, and likely having to live with roommates while never being home. Between my dog and my lab id always have to choose my lab, for at least next 5-6 years... I got her as an ESA but now i feel like im more depressed and stressed than i was without her and i dont think shes happy always being alone in a small ish room.

Is rehoming the right thing to do? Shes a smart, great dog that i love like my own child but i dont know if im the right fit for her anymore. Ive been thinking about rehoming for about a month now but i feel so guilty if i do.

13 y/o dog v toddler

Our 13 year old dog Sadie has developed odd and anxious behavior- likely driven by our 1.5 year old toddler. Since the baby came along, Sadie has been a little fearful and sad as our time and attention for her has decreased.

As the baby has become more mobile in the last few weeks, Sadie avoided being in the same area as the baby. Now, Sadie has started pacing a lot- walking to one corner of the room then to another corner and so on, around the room without end.

This started a couple of weeks ago, in the evenings. During the day she would sleep on her bed in my home office and pace like this in the evening and night when the kid was home. She would sleep in bed with my wife and me like she has done for years.

However, in the last day or two, she won't lay in her bed during the day and won't sleep at night- she just paces around the house with her mouth open panting slightly. Sometimes she will stand in an odd place, tense and shake slightly.

We took her to the pet ER the other night- the bloodwork came back clear. They gave some NSAID and pain/anxiety meds. These haven't had much of the expected effect of making it easier for her to relax.

Sadie didn't sleep last night, just paced. She was drinking water when offered. She ate plenty of food yesterday. She'll go for walks when coaxed and be fairly normal on the walks.

After walking around the bedroom ALL night, she has finally laid in her bed in the office after drinking some water at around 9am.

It's so hard to see Sadie like this- she has always been a chill pup. Seeing her tense and anxious like this has been so upsetting. Any advice?
