Also in the 'pooches that can't catch a break' category, this is my little guy, Tony (short for Rigatoni). He dislocated his hip three months ago, and then it was discovered that he had necrosis of the femur in his hind right leg. He had surgery shortly after to cut out the ball joint entirely. Small dogs are quite miraculous - they can generate a 'false bone' out of tendon and ligaments, and about a month and a half later, he's doing great and regularly walking on four legs again (he was a tripod for a while). Sadly, three days ago, he was bitten on the head by a larger dog and had to get three stitches, so his donut of cuteness (better than the cone of shame) remains on for another two weeks.

I do like the Donut of Cuteness. Wouldn't work for Willow as it's her eye again. Hope (Riga) Tony heals up fast, he's a cutie.
This poor pooch (and my wallet) can’t catch a break.
Oh man sorry to hear hope she/he recovers quickly and can get back to feeling good! Sending hugs 🤗
Thank you both. She's got a ridiculous regimen of 5 eye drops (2 of which are 6 times daily) plus one pain capsule (thank goodness for Greenies pill pockets), so the past 2 days have seemed like constant administering of drops. We bring her back Monday for a re-check.

Oh whoa poor Tony wishing him a speedy recovery hope from here on out it’s nothing but good health 😊
Kona messes with my sisters dog all day, instigates so he will play with him… after a few hours yesterday around the pool while we swam he needed a pillow
We’re getting ready to put our Twinkie to rest it’s been a tough time for her these last two weeks she’s got no control of her back legs and today she’s been having diarrhea since early this morning! She’s close to 15 years old and needs to rest my daughter has decided to have the service done here at home she wants her body cremated to keep her ashes, I don’t have anything else I can say we’ve been getting ready for this decision it’s the correct thing to do I can’t have my Twinkie suffering! Be well everyone hug your pooches 🐕 😔
So sorry Jose. I kind of stay away from this thread so I missed this. We still think about our Stewie everyday. It’s extremely difficult. My thought are with you and your family.
Folks we decided to adopt a rescue puppy she’s 3 months old mix retriever & lab we named her Flora! Excited but also bittersweet still miss my Twinkie, my daughter went to a yoga with puppies class 😀
Thanks folks she really is adorable! Can’t wait to see what mischievous things she does 😂😂 my two cats are not thrilled with the new addition to the household but they’ll get used to her soon enough

It’s only been 9 days since she arrived into our house! It’s def a big adjustment for us specially our to feline’s they are not too thrilled! So far so good I had to get a bigger cage for her training.
Winnie has been at the Australian Shepherd Club of Utah show all weekend. She was shown 6 times and won 5 Best of Breeds and one Best of Opposite (runner up to a male). The other competitors must hate Winnie and my wife. Thing is, Winnie is just a goofy dog who happens to be well put together. At home, she loves to roll around on her back, bark at dogs on the TV and gallop around with toys in her mouth.
If I had known then what I know now...

This is Mabel, our 3ish year old rescue Schnoodle. She was described as feral when we first got her 2 years ago but she’s now a beautiful dog.

The picture of innocence 😇😇😇😇
Congrats Jose and family. She is a cutie. Flora will fill in a wee, tiny bit of the Twinkie-shaped hole in your ♥️ Jose.
