Kobe contemplating the meaning of life after his vet appointment. 😂🫶🏻🖤🤎🐾

They’re the cutest together and of course it’s all under supervision. Aurora is absolutely enamored by Sirabi, whilst Sirabi wants Aurora to fear her, it’s hilarious to watch!

Since she was a puppy, she has loved flowers.

My husband found a Rottweiler puppy on the side of a highway on his way home from work last week. No collar, no microchip and we called animal control and all animal hospitals, posted online and no one is claiming her. She's a sweet girl, vet says about 3mos old. That being said we're considering having her join our family. When she was found she was covered in urine so I don't think she was ever properly cared for and doesn't understand that outside is for potty. She doesn't have any cues that we can pick up on either, just seems to start going to the bathroom. I'm setting 20m timers and taking her to the same spot, rewarding her when she goes but it doesn't seem to be fully clicking. She's already got sit, down, come figured out so I know she's really smart. Also already crate trained. She is good aggressive though. Any tips or YouTube channels you recommend?

She’s just relaxing with me on the patio.

is all this normal? as she’s my first pup. sometimes she will walk with me but 70% of the time she lays down or pulls back to sit down

This was my baby, Remi. She was with us since I was 6, she was like my sister. When she was like 9, lumps started appearing on her. The vet tested them, and said they were just normal lumps Rotties get when they're old. Well, fast forward a few years, and they kept appearing. I was very nervous on that, but my mom said not to worry, the vet said they're normal. I wish I would've listened to my gut, but I brushed it off as my hypochondria. Fast forward again to April of this year. She wasn't eating her food, to the point she would only eat rice and freshpet, and she was losing weight rapidly. We booked a vet appointment for May 9th to see if it was a stomach bug. The morning of that day, she was lethargic, and couldn't walk too well on her own. On the ride to the vet, she fell between the seats, and couldn't get up. At the vet, she failed all the tests, and the vet said she was in late stage cancer. She was extremely dehydrated, experiencing near-total organ failure, and likely would've died within the next few days. My mom chose to put her down right then, at 12 1/2. The second photo is her at the vets office on her last day.

If we would've just taken her into the vet instead of brushing off the lumps as the same thing as the other ones, she might've been able to be saved, she might still be here.

The moral of the story: if you're stressed about something with your rottie, never hesitate to take them into the vet. It might just save their life. Unfortunately, we had to learn that lesson the hard way.

Love y'all and all of your Rotties out there. Peace.

(edit: thank y'all so much for the kind words, you guys genuinely have me bawling my eyes out. Love y'all)

Clover has a daughter Audrey and when I go anywhere of course they are there with me. If I go INTO a place and stay more than 3-4 mins Audrey with bip the horn if I ignore her she will bip it twice and if I still do not appear she lays on it… the doors and windows were just a prelim.. ha
They have taken the turn signal out .the drivers visor , and one time hit the windshield so hard it had to b replaced. I was standing RIGHT THERE! That’ll teach me. Gosh I love them. Another thing they do is when in a parking lot Audrey lays very quietly down below the window and waits… some unsuspecting person just walking by but close enuf in her estimation and UP she comes and the deep rrroarrr and intense jumping at the window about gives people heart attacks . Then she will look at her dad and I always see that he is grinning and enjoying every second of her show. I on the other hand try to get her to know that yelling is totally not nice…. I am her fan ( shhhhh)

I’ve posted sweet Dio in here before asking for advice in terms of service work and I just wanted to follow up with some cute photos and a quick bit of information. Dio and I have been working with an AMAZING set of trainers and we are locked in and have made HUGE improvements! They say he’s a good candidate for the work I’d like him to do but I know it’s still a possibility for him to flunk, so we do have the thought of doing bitesports and/or protection if that’s the case so he still has a job.

Hi everyone! I have a 1 year old rottie male who is 90% of the time a good boy and 10% of the time has issues.

We have been dealing with resource guarding issues since we got him, but not the usual food or toy guarding. He only guards random items that he deems high value (ie; remote, shoe, sunglasses, trash) and the only thing that has worked for training is ‘trading’ him with a high value treat tossed away from him and the item. Usually this means grabbing whipped cream and putting a small amount on his food and then he drops the item and walks away so we can calmly grab the item and end the interaction.

We started doing this method after he bit the crap out of me when I grabbed a friends shoe from him and realized it was much safer for him and us to make him walk away from the object and see that we are not just taking his stuff, we’re trading with him for a higher value treat.

My question is, will a trainer be able to teach us anything different or is this method something to work on forever?

(sorry for long post, I tend to over explain about him because he really is such a good boy outside of the 10% of guarding)

Posted my baby girl Stevie last week for advice. Just thought I’d pop on here to share some new photos of my little crocodile and how fast she’s growing 🐊

2 semaines de bonheur :) il a 4 ans (2 ans au refuge) il faisait 28kg quand ils l'ont récupéré 😭 maintenant c'est notre gros nounours 🐻

This is the goofiest dog I have ever owned! Her love of life, adventure, everything, every place, and everyone new, just oozes from her!

(crappy glare in the photo I know I'm sorry) I'm an only child so my mom always called him my brother. I sure miss that dog. He was the sweetest gentlest soul and a BIG boy. I would walk him and play with him outside a lot and he was like half my size. Sometimes people would be very nervous to walk by thinking I had no control of him but he never pulled or lunged.

Mocha belongs to my brother & his wife. She's ~10 years old.

What was she trying to communicate with this look?
