Is that harness intended to be used with the seatbelt like that?

 

[Hophunter]

Sad to say but Julio was not the dog for our family. Separation anxiety led to him crapping in his crate and getting it all over himself on multiple occasions. Unfortunately we don’t have the flexibility with our jobs to properly retrain him and it’s not fair to him or us.
We are in the process of finding him a new home. It sucks b/c he was a sweet dog but that first year must have been really rough. Certain behavioral traits also led us to believe that he was abused at some point. Only had him for a few weeks but gonna miss him.

Yes, that’s what it’s for.

My current view with our 56lbs rescue mutt, Charlotte.

Clara got a haircut the other day. Our 7 month old Golden Doodle.
We can’t imagine life without dogs. Our third is napping somewhere.

Good luck bud finding him a new home. I can’t imagine what that’s like.
Our rescue is a great family dog but is a battle to take out anywhere. We have had her to obedience classes and she listens well, but her anxiety when we are out is at 1,000%! We just started her on anti-anxiety meds and will continue working with her.

Thanks pshankstar. We fortunately found him a home with some folks who will be able to give him the time and attention he needs to be happy. Was not a decision made lightly but right for us and him.

Did however find a urine spot on the basement carpet. The little bastard left his mark in more ways than one.

Crating rescues all day, or just dogs in general, then wondering why they don't behave? There's always cats..

 

[Hophunter]

I get what you’re saying. But at the same time, plenty of dogs do well with it and there are certainly worse situations for them to be in. Ideally they are only crated til they can be trusted alone in the home.

This sink is awesome for muddy feet. Wish I had one in my "brewery."

Does it fit standard size or just miniatures? [emoji6]

Hmm. I've been told he is either a "large mini" or a "small medium."

Tela. A lunk of a dog. Our chocolate Labrador Leaver.

I think I have a post in here with her and our 2 beagles. Sadly the beagles have passed. The male beagle was 15 when he went and the female was 16. The female raised the lab since puppiehood and was like a surrogate mother. Tela took her passing very hard.

We decided to get another dog, but could not commit to a full fledged puppy at this time in our life, so we opted to get a rescue from the shelter.

We found a lab pit mix that had been in the shelter for around 5 weeks. She had been living on the streets for a while beforehand, and was brought in only after she had been hit by a car. Her rear legs were never set properly and healed. She can get around just find and can run with the best of them, but her gait is unique, and if she over does herself she feels it at night.

In addition to her broken leg, she also has a chunk missing in her one ear, a broken off canine tooth, a broken tail tip that healed with a 90 degree bend, several battle scars and was emaciated (shelter said she wouldn’t eat much) and had a raging ear infection. My wife thought I was crazy when I told her this was the dog.

It cost a couple thousand in vet bills to get her to where she is today, but you could not ask for a better family dog. The 2 labs are all but inseparable, and the new lab, Jasmine has taken to her new job of “overwatch” like a champ. She patrols all the windows in the house looking for signs of nefarious activities in and around the neighborhood. When not crashed out on her dog couch, she is sure to be either on the window seat or the arm chair next to the window making sure no ne’er do wells are afoot on the premises.
