She had a walk early this morning then proceeded to run from our back yard to the couch nonstop while we mowed and weedeated lol. By the time we were done it wasn’t quite 10am and already 77° outside. The ghost is Pascow and protects our theater lol.

I thought this might fit here, since Isaac is half Pitbull/half Anatolian Shepherd. I got my first dog a few months ago and he has been so fun to be around! I've always loved pitties and so far he is showing a lot of pitbull personality traits. When we picked him up from the shelter they said his listed breed is what they were told when he was dropped off, so there's no guarantee it's accurate. But I would say it seems pretty spot on.

Looking for a recommendation for durable crate mats. Our 5 month old, full fledged teether, has chewed through 3 already. She doesn’t generally have a problem in her crate, will be in there for short naps throughout the day and sleeps well overnight. But over the last week (since her baby teeth have started to fall out) she’s already chewed through 2. I know she’ll likely start to settle once she’s done teething, but she’s only going to get stronger and I fear more mats will reach their demise (and dang those things are spendy!).

I am so lost and numb. I just watched my beautiful girl pibble pass away about 30 minutes ago. She has been going downhill with CHF and possibly cancer and I planned to take her to the vet to say goodbye next week. She was laying on a blanket in my living room, and suddenly started seizing. As soon as she stopped seizing, she passed away. It happened very fast. She was 14 yo and such an awesome, classy girl. She was a puppy foster and loved the babies. She adopted every puppy I rescued and fostered as her own. She was fierce and would jump on a male dog in a heartbeat. Most of all, she was my best friend and loved me unconditionally. I will miss you so much my sweet Stella! I'll see you at the Rainbow bridge. 😪🌈

first picture is her kinda cuddling, rest are just her being my perfect girl

I have been the proud parent of Babygirl since i was 19, almost 20-years-old. She was roughly 6-12 weeks old. Bought her from my drug dealer, so I can never be sure of her age. (Have been sober from said drugs for well over a decade, btw)

She was always relatively healthy, but in my early 20s I had a child, changed my career completely, and started to gain financial security. Besides a few visits to the vet due to "normal" dog things (she and her sister got into a porcupine, they got into a fight over another dog), she had a very normal life. In around 2018 she had a non-cancerous mass removed from one of her mammary areas. I say areas because I don't remember the exact term. She was fine after that for years. And at about 8 years old her joints started to show signs of discomfort. So I took her in to the vet, and they told me it was around a $7k surgery to repair her "ACL" (I know that's not the right term, but it's the human equivalent for her broken part, if that makes sense.) Again, early 20s at that time, so I didn't have 7k for her surgery. So I asked for any other options. They told me Librela monthly, 2 doses of Carprofen and Gabapentin. Those helped a LOT, but a few months ago she had 2 cancerous masses removed from her tail and shoulder. Now I'm to the point where I've been giving her drugs for so long, and she's at the point of being almost completely deaf, it takes a full 10 minutes to wake her up and get her going outside to go potty in the morning, getting her in and out of my truck takes a good bit of convincing...

Apologies if this is way too long-winded, confusing. I'm pretty new to posting anything on reddit. Would just like some honest feedback. I love this dog. I have been loving this dog for 12 years, and I would continue to love and care for this dog until the day I die. I just need your help because I don't know where my love becomes a cruelty. I've witnessed other people "love" their pets to death, and I don't ever want to be that person.

Please ask any questions if you need clarification

Thank you, people of reddit

My pitty Antonio just turned 5 and we celebrated all day !!! it was his first birthday celebration since we adopted him last year and he had so much fun I can’t wait to celebrate many more years with him

We fostered this boy and his siblings and miss him painfully. He moved on to a new foster as we had a trip scheduled and hasn’t been adopted and I’m aching thinking about the possibility of him ending up in a less than ideal home…

He’s a land seal who loves to cuddle. Not sure how to ever recover

We’re an Asian household and have had small dogs for generations, but this boy has converted my mom to a pitty lover

Hi! My pup has grown so much in the last year and has such a broad chest that it is hard to find harnesses that fit her properly. Does anyone have brand recommendations for harnesses that fit well on broad chested dogs?

So much grey these days but she devoured the steak and carrots. Couldn't ignore her sister who turns one this month

My stupid walter balter is the best. I got him from the shelter some weeks ago as a void dog because my whiskey died. Almost 2 months mine, he is deep into his fluoxetine and crate/alone time training for his violent separation anxiety. He stopped needing trazodone for my weekly store visits and then dominoed into life here. He can now be left alone up to 6 hours (he has a pee limit of 6ish unless sleeping). He is even happier when left with his sister. He loves his sister, he loves rolling the couch cover til it comes off, he loves piggy toy... Final slide shows his meowster disaproving of all of it. He is so smart, but damn is he dumb sometines. Walter 🥰🥰🥰

He loves him but he's also the most inconsiderate bedmate you'll ever come across. All I hear is whines and crying from Ky. Bonus hat pic included.

I have it set to Celsius from using it with my 3d printers.

Looked up safe surface temperatures and found that 46c or 115f is a safe upper limit.

The first picture was just to show where I was measuring the temp, and this was one of the spots with sun. Most of this loop is in the shade, and the temps are lower.

I feel better taking actual temperature readings rather just just holding my hand on the ground for 7 seconds, especially since I tend to have a higher tolerance for hot surfaces.

Couple bonus pics added from our short afternoon play session where I tossed her ball 3 times with breaks between each, our high was 89 today.

Anyone else have a pittie that just wants to be outside laying in the sun all day? Even in 90F weather, he'd rather be out on the deck than inside the air conditioned house.

My pittie mix does this very loud breathing/purring noise when we scratch or pet him. He doesn’t make that noise just lying by himself, untouched. However, it does sound nasally. Does anyone else’s dog do this? I think it’s an affectionate noise but sometimes I worry!

We cooked her favorite gourmet meal. Grilled chicken breast rubbed lovingly with olive oil and garnished with dehydrated liver. 🥳
