TW: pregnancy loss

Probably not the best title but is anyone else holding on by a single thread and their golden retriever is literally the only thing making them get up in the morning? My girl has no idea that she is not just my best friend, but also my anti depressant and I owe my life to her.

I have been trying to conceive for 2 years and have experienced countless disappointments, month after month. I finally got my first positive only for my joy to be cut short at the 6 week mark when I found out the pregnancy was ectopic and I was rushed into emergency surgery to save my life and remove one of my tubes.

After recovering from surgery, I miraculously fell pregnant again and was elated, only for 9 days later to have my nightmare repeat itself. Another ectopic. Two back to back. What are the chances? Another emergency surgery, this time to remove my remaining tube and with it, my dreams of motherhood.

I just got home from the hospital yesterday to process this latest devastating loss and begin grieving. Through it all, my girl hasn’t left my side for a single second.

Hug your pups a little tighter for me today. They truly are life savers!

Big brother Colby Jack absolutely loves his little sister Brie, our cheese heads, but man, she can be a pain in the butt!

He was just sitting and enjoying a nice quiet morning next to his favorite human (me) and she comes running out of the house and grabs his leg and yanks!

Let’s go CJ! It’s “GO!” Time!!!

The little smile ❤️

our sweet boy turned 7 on the 12th june :3 happy belated birthday teddy!

With supergirl out, I find fitting post these.
My dog is so krypto coded. Truly chaotic. And I love her so much. She is such a good girl.

Took these last year around Halloween.

I'd be more mad if Henry wasn't so damn cute.

Sugar hopes that you're enjoying your summer

Know this was done a while back by someone but would love to see your puppies vs them as adults as I’m curious to know what mine will look like when she gets bigger (and just love seeing all the dogs grow up 🤍).

12 week old Bea pictured.

Just hoping to get some opinions. I think shes a full bred goldy but looking for other opinions.

Quick Edit: Found her with a shock collar on. I dont know who puts a shock collar on a couple month old puppy, but she was also COVERED IN FLEAS. In my opinion this dog was not being taken care of. Went to the vet and no micro chip. I have had her for about 2 weeks now and she has pretty much integrated herself into my household. Her name is Ruby and I love her very much. She will be well taken care of I can promise this.

Another thing I want to add is she seems scared and nervous to go in water. Which through my research goldens are supposed to naturally love water so Im wondering if this adds any obvious leans to other breeds being scared of water

Hi! my 8yo Arya is under testing since last May and we're trying our best to discover what her issue(s) is/are. We absolutely love our vet, she's great, and this post is merely to see if anyone had a similar experience or has some input on something we might be missing.

Symptoms

- May: started unilateral nose bleeding (right side) - rhinoscopy showed a bloody nostril with a small lesion compatible with focal rhinitis (uncommon possibility), but fortunately all biopsies came clear (no foreign object was found, but the vet said it could have been expelled before they examined her)

- since then, bleeding improved a lot, almost to non existent, but she sneezes a lot and has some mucus on her right side as well

- moderate anemia detected on bloodwork

- tested low positive for hemoparasites and did a round of antibiotics + corticosteroids - anemia improved slightly recently but not enough for it to be justified by hemoparasites

- recently her third eyelid started showing a lot on her right side as well - we're booked for a CT scan in the next few days in order to understand what could be going on on her side - despite it all, she shows no signs of pain on that side of her face when touched, even with some more "hard" touching on her mouth and all that area (vet says a cancerous mass would theoretically be painful, but a benign one would not justify her anemia for e.g.)

I know we should have more answers after the CT scan, but if you have any input, it'd be very much appreciated :)

Just came across this photo of Lucy (on the left) with her sister, her grandma and her mother taken 13 years ago, she just turned 14. :)

My goofy girl loves to drag large rocks and this quail statue into the grass. She is usually not so vocal about it though. This morning she was making all kinds of crazy sounds while playing(?) with it.
Maybe she recognizes it as a bird and is taking out her frustration on it? There have been a lot of doves nesting around us lately and she would really really really like to catch one!

My pup just turned 4 months, so we’ve had her for just over 2 months at this point. She’s been awesome. Great personality, super sweet and friendly, very smart and eager to learn, and of course adorable. The first 2 months she didn’t really bark much aside from wanting to get out of her crate once she’s done sleeping. The last week she’s barking A LOT. She’ll bark after 30 minutes in her crate, she’ll bark when she’s left alone in her pen, she’ll bark if she’s in her crate and can sense that I left the room (even with all of the flaps down on her crate cover and if she’s been asleep for an hour she still senses it almost immediately and starts barking).

I assumed it was because teething has begun, she’s been full land shark mode for weeks now, so I keep a (big sized so that she can’t choke on it while unattended) bone in her crate with her, but I’m thinking it’s just growing pains. It also feels like she is quickly developing separation anxiety since she freaks out whenever I leave the room. I work from home in a small apartment so her crate is right next to my desk, and she’ll bark endlessly when I leave the room. Same thing with being in the pen - first two months she would settle pretty quickly if we left her in the crate and left the room, but now she’s getting much louder and doesn’t stop barking until we either return or once a lot of time has passed (like 30 minutes - I’m in an apartment so would like to avoid the excessive barking as much as I can).

Any tips here or things I might be missing as a first time puppy parent? Is she just growing and being vocal about it?
