Sounds like a lot of fun.

You should post more about her, and your other dogs as well.

Our boy Blue is now 4.5 months and pushing nearly 45 pounds. He gets to lay around all day while we work. He does wake up to glare at the outside happenings. I set up an office space in my garage and he is liking the spot with the space heater throwing some heat his way. But he is getting restless thinking "where is mama??" She is his human for sure.

He is nearly potty trained. We are at a place where he will never potty inside if he goes out every 3 to 4 hours. But Blue hasn't quite connected the dots on communicating with us when he has to go. So if we lose track of time since his last outing there have been some slip ups. Or if there is a lot of chaos going on the house, things like kids screaming, or using the vacuum he could have an accident. It is a work in progress but we are getting there. We have bells at our front door that we have him shake when we take him outside hoping he will start shaking them on his own when he has to go.

Here are some recent pics of the boy

Mister Rabbit came for a visit...

Mr Rabbit wouldn't last 2 minutes in my yard.

Apologies now to the rabbit lovers.

This is our girl, Kassie, well really she's more my dog than my wife's.

She's 11 and still going strong. As our first Samoyed, she really set the stage for our love of the breed and then what followed as we added to the pack. We learned about how loving, intelligence, but stubborn the breed can be in the first couple of years with her.

You know, Ohio's right around the bend...if you need to borrow an extractor of a 4 legged kind.

When it does finally go through...it's nice to have though.

Got 90%+ back on second round of teeth too, so net cost for his cleaning and 25 extractions and medicine was well under $500. Now they will probably jack up our rates when it next renews for get their money back, but happy for now.

We call that a "working cat", one that's earning its cat food.

Yeah, that's a well-known fact, as evidenced by our posting seconds apart!

What do you mean, choose 1? Hugo our Patterdale terrier

ShopVac · 05-05-2023, 07:26 AM

Poor boy had gastropexy, rear toes removed, and apparently the nut sack is somehow missing as well. 3 weeks - cone of shame. Feel so bad for him

Currently drugged out of his mind.

Sorry for him.

Why the rear toes? Am I missing something?

It's the high upper ones on the back paw (with the claw). Typically breeders remove these when the pups are born...but for some reason, this breeder did not. Thus, they get removed when 'the boys' get removed. Not really a big deal, they were just kind of dangling there...

R BMW · 05-05-2023, 04:39 PM

Instead of the cone, we used a baby onesie. Made our girl get around easier.
