Beautiful pup - great colors.
Sorry to hear that. Never easy to lose a member of the family.Well - this day came way too soon! Luna 2018-2024, had to be put down this past Sunday around 8:00pm.
We picked this dog up from a shelter in late 2019 (rescue situation) and spent a ton of time and money rehabbing her into a part of our family.
Was just getting home from CAL Saturday night, picked her up from boarding, and had to rush her to emergency vet 6 hours later around 12:30a Sat night / Sun morning. Her stomach had turned over, emergency surgery, etc. Short version is she made is through the surgery, but ended up with other complications about 18 hours later.
Had a lot of stuff going wrong, and it just didn't seem fair to let her suffer anymore. She was a big part of our lives, and we are a bit of a mess over it. We don't have kids, so she was our third wheel, my wife's companion everyday while working in her office alone - and my sidekick when she would travel for work or in CAL for weeks at a time. This shit will tear you up inside! GodSpeed Luna..... you were the best....

A local lady who had a litter of 10 is where we got her. No fees at all and she is healthy as an OX and is just absolutely beautiful. Color, structure, personality, etc. Gets along great with our other two pups.Hey DILLI - where did you get this pup? From a breeder, or?.... This would be one we would have interest in.
Thanks for the kind wishes - the house is certainly more "empty" with your pup around.
Thank you! That blue-gray was seen and that was all it took.....lolThat's awesome, great dog. I think we might just be a little too far away in Ohio here. Thanks for the offer.
Great color on Xena, beautiful dog.
Blends right inWatching it snow last night

Some people suck. You aren’t one of them. So grateful for people like you and your family.View attachment 1451113 View attachment 1451114
Our recent foster pup. Some of them are treated badly. It's sad
Day 2 with daughter’s pup over visiting. They don’t have much quit in them until they do. Got in a couple walks today, scrapped on the lawn for a while and they’re done.
Granddaughter came back. She absolutely loves the dogs. They handle anything she throws at them. Great temperament.

Love the name....we got three pups....the GSP is Winchester (Chester), the German Shepard is Remington (Remi), and the Yorkie is Kimber....
She has one, we have one because my wife liked hers when it was a pup. It almost didn’t make it past 3 months. The puppy stage is pretty insane. Best dog we’ve ever had.Shes brave with TWO gsp's....I have one and thats enough....i think my senior german shepard keeps him in check a bit, i couldnt imagine two gsp's trying to out gsp each other....lol

That sucks for sure.So today was just me and the wife for TG. I had some time to kill before we ate so I figured I'd take the pups to the park. We go to our usual spot and I let them run around on the baseball field. This park is up against the hills so there are lots of critters and we often find fur patches where a rabbit met their demise.
We are walking around and Tuco starts moving toward something on the grass ahead. He gets to it and immediately dives in and starts rolling and rubbing around on it. I yell at him to stop and dash over to get him out of it. I knew it was going to be bad because of how quick he started rolling in it. I had no idea how bad.
To my horror he was rolling in a gut pile which consisted of a rabbit's ripped open colon and pile of wet green almost-poo. He had it all over both sides and on his head and neck.

The smell was like nothing I have ever encountered. It was a smell of the ages. I'm driving home with all the windows down gagging and retching the entire way trying to formulate a game plan on how to deal with this.
The cleanup process was as miserable as you would expect. It also completely ruined any hint of an appetite. So much for that Thanksgiving dinner I had been looking forward to. I think I am going to suffer from PTSD as a result of this incident.
He loves to roll in smelly stuff. I guess I'll have to watch him like a hawk for now on. And avoid the coyote/rabbit kill zone.
